I swear that any fan who came in would have been the same little boy in the candy shop and bought up all the big names he could. BUT, fact is we don't own the team, and we can't understand the overall plan, and many new owners go through long transitions (JJ may have won quick, but his Cowboys had had a longer playoff losing streak than us), and I believe we have seen a positive trend in DS' understanding of being an NFL owner, and particularly the owner of the Washington Redskins. It's ridiculous to blast out hate on this guy but it happens because his actions/inactions are subject to INTENSE scrutiny by passionate fans and the rabid press.
In the end, you are entitled to hate DS, that's fine, but it's grass is greener thinking that any other serious competitor to own the Skins would have done any better or have been a more passionate owner.  |
You use the word "hate" associated with my posting, not my choice of word.
The bottom line with Dan Snyder is the dollar. As with other owners. But the difference with Dan Snyder has been itemized by the article in the law suit. I just don't think that Mr. Snyder gives a hill of beans about his loyalties to the Washington Redskins. It's an investment first and foremost and not this BS about his life long love for the Redskins.
Little boy in a candy shop is not a good analogy of Dan's reckless ownership of this franchise. The maverick who is not a maverick in terms of showing a positive direction of owning a franchise that had some moxie during the time when Dan bought it.
Let's hope Mike Shanahan and Bruce Allen can restore it to respectability again without Dan Snyder's interference.
So, hate is the wrong word. Disrespect is the right word in describing my present feelings towards Mr. Snyder.
