I think we can all agree none of us care about anyone else...except Matty, we have to at least pretend we care about him. Otherwise, there would be no place for us to tell each other how much we don't care about each other.

When they sue someone for the face value of the tickets associated with a contract along with the legal fees associated with the judgement and then resell those same tickets to a ticket broker or someone else, that is raping your fanbase in my book.
Again, a last resort. An unfortunate last resort. Legally right, morally questionable certainly.

People can call it maximizing profits or whatever you want but I think it is wrong to treat people that way. Especially when you lie to everyone who will listen and say the wait list is 160,000. Now, if they come out and say that people defaulting on obligations is negatively impacting the business, then I would cut them some slack.
I don't buy that. No one believes it any time the Redskins say that anything is negatively impacting the business. Because the response is "Well how did you afford to pay Haynesworth $100 million?" And again, the question of the wait list has been an issue lonnnng before Snyder.

Here is another example of Snyder blatently lying to us. He came on 980 and said that the new tailgaiting rules would actually make things better for the fans. I spoke to my brother in law who went to the Pats game and confirmed that Snyder's spin was just untrue. If you want to grill out and have a typical tailgate, you better get there very early and get ready to park in the furthest row in your section. This change was to maximize parking revenue, not enhance anything for the fans.
Well if your brother in law says it's a lie, then it must be
