Don Banks: Redskins Hater and Racist

[sportscurmudgeon]

Greetings from Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

This is not a racist commentary by a mile.

The comment about Snyder is on target. From the day he took over until now, make a list of the franchise "highlights/accomplishments" and a separate list of their "lowlights/embarrassments".

Which list is longer? If you say they are anywhere near the same length, then you must be including things like getting the PG County police to enforce the parking lot/walking route ban as a franchise highlight. Facts is facts; so far Snyder has been lots of PR and lots of glitzy/showy stunts and really short on results. The Skins had the #5 pick in the draft the year he got the team; the Skins had the #5 pick in the draft last year after he has owned the franchise for a while. That's not a lot of improvement. And unless I was in a coma, there weren't any Conference Championships or Super Bowl wins in the interim...

Think about whether you are angry because of the shot taken at the Redskins' owner or whether you are angry because you bought into the PR and the glitz and don't like to see people pointing out just how hollow all that nonsense really was.
