Redskins May Become An Afterthought IN D.C. Sports Soon

You have to think, five years down the road the fanbase might be basically gone. Nobody is coming to games, etc.. How bad do things have to get financially, would Dan ever be forced to sell the skins due to financial constraints?

Until he sells or realizes he is the biggest part of the problem the Redskins will always suffer from the Snyder factor. The ceiling will never be more than 10 wins and maybe winning a wild card game. In fact in the last dozen plus years the team has only won 10 games one time and that was due to the fact the league hadn't figured out RG3 yet. I think over Snyder's ownership the Redskins rank something like 28th in wins. Hard to think the Redskins are perennial bottom feeders, but they are.

You've heard of revenue sharing right? The league is raking in insane revenue just through TV deals. Last year the Redskins had operating income of $120M. It's going to take a very long time before there's any real financial concern.

That and the value of NFL teams continue to rise at a fast pace. Snyder bought the Redskins and Fedex Field for $800 million 20 years ago, Forbes had the Redskins valued at $3.1 Billion 2 years ago. In spite of Snyder's bumbling that ranked them the 4th most valuable NFL team.
