Little Danny Snyder doesn’t like Redskins success…

While I agree with the sentiment of giving the guy is privacy he abused employees and the sense of team ownership luxury. Only right he’s out front and center that he was the reason the team was in the gutter. The complete turnaround, success and team they’ve built without an absolute star studded roster shows you where the problems manifested and repeated. Good on the media for rubbing his nose in it when so much was swept under the rug during his control. 

 

I agree he's was a terrible owner who did a lot of bad things, I said so as much but again someone was just squatting on this article waiting for the Commanders to have success. Its really a lot of fluff surrounding one unnnamed source. Its only a complete turnaround because they found a QB which good of them of course I just roll my eyes at the timing is all.

Yes he was a terrible owner and should have lost his team and did a lot of bad things but I  did kind of roll my eyes when I saw it published with the title. It wasn't even through Snyder himself but one unnamed person that they made an article out of it.

 

Man is living in London trying to stay out of things now and someone had to dredge him back up because the Commanders had success after he sold the team.

 

Not sure why anyone would ever do anything resembling sticking up for such a scumbag as Snyder but whatever floats your boat.

 

Speaking of boats, while he spends time in London, he has been mostly living on his yacht the last few years in order to avoid being served/sued by a whole number of people.

 

Of all the scumbag NFL owners (and there are plenty of them), Snyder is/WAS the worst.

 

Love seeing the Commanders immediate success after his departure. I hope he has a horrible day today.

Absolutely, I got you know he’s to blame and I agree Daniels is the success story but the culture you’re wanting your team to represent and hold at value has weight too. Snyder did none of that. Whether it’s fluff piece is irrelevant. Shoving it in his face that they are a success the minute he is forced out is justified to the extent of his abuse. The guy shouldn’t get to fade into silence asap. Now, if it were a few years down the road and they turned it around? A hit piece like that warrants the question as to why imo

This is a horribly written story.  Absolutely no content and doesn't even get a first hand account from Snyder.  I grew up in Washington so I know they don't think much of it but getting a person that knows Snyder to comment about what he thinks about Washington's success must mean they are out of content

I've been thinking the exact same since this story was reported.  Who are their "sources" . This is just slander at this point

 

From the article:

 

"He f---ing hates it," Snyder's dinner companion told the colleague.

 

That's a top notch investigation

The employee abuse is well documented.

 

As is his abuse of the fans...

 

And more abuse of his fans. Even elderly grandmas arent safe...

No one is disagreeing with you on the things he did. They could have actually done a really nice article to me on this . Obviously Snyder wouldn’t have been a part of it but it could have been titled “ After Damning history, new regime, led by Josh Harris, moves Commanders franchise forward. 
 

You still could have delved into the past of the franchise under Snyder detailing the things that were done while also getting first hand accounts from players, coaches, and Harris himself about the things they had done to turn around the franchise.  To me that’s real journalism and something I would have wanted to read. 
 

This article is nothing but a fluff hit piece with no sources to draw cheap clicks. That’s my point in this not that I’m defending Snyder from his yacht in London

Such a beautiful thing that the Commanders are having a great year as soon as this jerkoff was forced to sell the team.  Very good article!

There is a Bills fan who used to report on forums from Maryland (BfloBob, still out there?) who knows that team very well and was not a fan of DS.  He had a very derogatory nickname for him.  "Midg#t Coc#su&*er"

There was ex Redskins talking about it when it went down, I believe it was Ryan Clark and Lavar Arrington saying how no one in the teams could stand the guy, knew he was treating people inappropriately and did nothing to actively change the culture and team. From the pictures it was he was an unlivable character even before the scandals. 
 

Those articles further cement that. 
 

I’ve had some rough interactions with people, as I’m sure we all have in life, be it of my own or their doing but it’s pretty easy to be a respectable and decent human being in life. How these guys who have it all are so far removed from that standard or capability is wild.

You know the sport… the one where you hit the stick to put the weird shaped ball into the EZ.  

 

Not to be confused with the one where the Buffalo Bill QB dribbles the basketball to steal a base.

Danny had his own skirt hiked up and assaulted. Love to see him suffer. Dude is a POS and was a POS owner. 

Our son was a huge McCutcheon fan growing up before he switched focus to football so we took him to PNC Park (awesome place btw) to see him play. 
 

Attended a family day where they had everything cheap. Was $1 dogs and $2 drinks. Then we started eating and realized it was cheap sugardale wieners. Seems like the $1 was a lowball too lol

 

EVERYONE says that, and they are right that PNC Park is an awesome place for a game... but the product is so intentionally bad that even if nobody showed up to the games Nutting would still make tens of millions in profit. It is by far the worst "great stadium/terrible owner" ratio in all of sports.

 

Now you see why I am beyond embarrassed at this point... even Bing Crosby was a better owner.

The Pirates are the only team I have ever abandoned. I was a passionate fan as a kid, but I gave up in the early-mid 2000s when it was abundantly clear what their wretched owner was up to (including the lying about losing money).

 

Same exact way... I was too young in 1979 to understand they were World Series champions. My grandparents lived minutes from McKechnie Field in Bradenton so my childhood memories of baseball are simple and vague. The 1992 NLCS loss is just as painful as any of the playoff losses the Bills have had.

John Fischer of the A's says, Hold my beer. At least the Pirates will be in Pittsburg. Fischer only had to spend $500 Million to get the funding needed for a new stadium in Oakland. He claimed Oakland wasn't helping enough. Meanwhile he's spending $1.5 Billion to get the stadium in Vegas built. 

 

SEE, WE DIFFER on this... I would rather have the Pirates move than subject our fan base to any more of this nonsense. The government there should nail his pelt to the wall and play hardball on any and all incentives when the old deal expires. Let the Pirates legacy stand alone instead of tarnishing it further...

When your favorite teams leave your city, you'll feel differently. I don't live in Oakland, but some of the best sports memories of my life happened in Oakland. The move hurts.

I guess what makes it different is that Oakland has no more sports teams... now that is something on a whole other level of bad

The Bay Area isn't large enough for 2 sets of pro teams.  It's the same market.   Oakland's teams are San Fran's teams.

well...the city lost the Dodgers and the Giants (and NJ isn't Shea Stadium). 

 

always hard on the memories of those who followed the teams.

Brooklyn isn't the same as Manhattan, and that's what makes it even more difficult because it is about neighborhoods and not just an amalgamation of areas called "NYC" or "The Bay Area". I can't imagine how tough those losses are being closely tied like that. I feared that for the Bills for many years.

Truer words were never spoken!  lol

 

But whereas Manhattan and Brooklyn lost their baseball teams, there are still 2 others, plus Meadowlands isn't that far to travel to see the Giants/Jets (farther than Oakland to SF). 

 

Neighborhoods long ago lost their pro sports teams.  It's all regional now.
