I guess Snyder is putting the stadium before winning, and the fan base. Ya know, the people he’ll need to fill those seats. How about he focuses on winning a FUCKING playoff game.
He’s selling a product, and the following of that product is eroding. Quickly. He’s obviously not putting the priority of bringing the fans back and truly improving the brand FIRST.
This season will be the 15 season in Dan’s 20 years that the Redskins don’t make the playoffs. The Redskins haven’t won more than 11 games in a season since 1991.
Entering their final home game of the season, on Sunday against the Eagles, Washington averaged fewer than 61,000 fans, 27th in the N.F.L. FedEx Field has been only 74 percent full this season, the lowest percentage in the league. Fans aren’t particularly motivated to watch at home, either: The team’s local television rating ranks 22nd in the league.
“The fan base is just worn down, frustrated, completely fed up with the front office,” said Eric Bickel, a longtime fan and host of the “Sports Junkies” morning radio show in the area. “This was once a proud, heritage-filled franchise. There is a large percentage of the population here that has no experience with that.”
So he can keep Bruce, but the consequences will only grow worse.
