Fook Dan Snyder

Not that anyone needs another reason to take issue with the lawsuit, but…
In Mr. Snyder's piece in yesterday's WP explaining his view of the refiling, he claims the refiling is pretty much only for legal technical reasons – proper venue.  A pretty big omission is the fact (as reported in today's WP) the suit now adds McKenna as a defendant.    Going after the little guy… (admittedly the big guy and instigator in the case, sure).     That's a pretty big difference.   Even if it is standard legal practice to add that sort of entity to this sort of suit, the fact that Snyder not only doesn't mention that in his writing but strongly asserts the suit is the same, is troubling.   (Yes, the suit may be the same; however the vibe is certainly different now that the author is facing this shit now)   Ugh.

Yep, Snyder is a small-penised, yellow bellied, chicken shit coward. Not that we needed any more proof of this.

my favorite is he wants the cp to retract the "going all Agent Orange on federally protected lands" part because he didnt actually use agent orange

Nor has he ever replanted the trees, as he was compelled to do as part of the legal settlement.

If this is a lie, then the WCP should state that for the record (and not in a singsongy "dude get over it lol!") kind of way. The fact is, Snyder gets roasted in the media ALL THE TIME and hasn't sued.

Suing everytime you feel slighted doesn't send out the same chilling message to the entire industry in DC as suing some alt-weekly writer and lying and hamhawing about it the entire way. Snyder and his lawyer cronies haven't keep their stories straight from the start.

I'm almost about to cancel my Post subscription over running that piece of shit's lie ERRR op-ed in the paper.

Breaking news:

The City Paper is now also reporting that Snyder helped Barry Soroto forge his long form birht certificate.

hmmmmmmm….the redskins always had a full stadium even when they turned shit. What happened there?

Speak English my good man.. out with it.

Did you think they wouldn't be?

As much as fans are up in arms about Dan and the overall shittacular decade of football, there are thousands and thousands, if not millions, of fans willing to buy up those tickets that people are now starting to sell for cheap. Fortunately or unfortunately, the Skins have a die hard fan base. While they may fluctuate for the Wizards and the Capitals, they just never will for the Redskins. 75+ years of tradition just trumps any sort of anger over an owner's 11 year tenure? Turn on any sports talk radio station in the area, they talk about the Skins 80 to 85% of the time. DC is a football town. If the Caps won 3 Cups in 5 years, it wouldn't be better than the Skins winning 1 Lombardi trophy. At least, that's my opinion and how I see it.

Long story short, people will always go to the games.

No, they won't. They'll watch them on TV, they'll drive the needle on sports talk radio, hell they might even buy a hat or t-shirt every one in a while. But people will not always go to the games like lemmings. It's just too god damn expensive and the in-stadium product is just not worth it. Unless you love getting blackout drunk and acting like an asshole.

I think you're agreeing with me! :)

More fodder on this sorry excuse for a team…

My favorite part of the story is that his credit card was declined.

As much as I love going to Nats game, the main draw for me is exactly that. Drinking a shit load, yelling at New York/Philadelphia teams, and eating awful food.

You're not going to have a 90,000+ stadium not be 80% full because the team is awful. Redskins fans are faithful, if not the most faithful. I watched games on TV last year, i watched them all. I went to see them get their stupid assholes handed to them by the Steelers on MNF while a good half of the stadium were Shittsburgh fans. It's about pride. DC refuses to admit it's wrong hahahaha Now, 20 years? Then we might see the Skins fall off. So, what, 9 more years to go? Ovi's still here for another 9 or 10 right? Bryce Harper will only be 27 right? John Wall will be a crafty veteran? We'll see!

I don't think you can ever "act" like a drunk asshole. It's like…. eating because you're "acting" hungry.

If you're doing it right, it always leads down that road.

all i know is that there are assholes . . . and then there are people who get very drunk to become assholes.  at sporting events, they are just assholes.

Ah! I agree with that. I like the loud, drunken, comradery. I have been the asshole though [throwing fries at Steelers fans; Throwing a 'terrible towel' in the trash can after ashing my cigarette on it and putting my cigarette out on it] but on the other hand, that same shit would happen in other cities. Especially if MY team was stomping their teams ass in their house and our fans were being obnoxious as hell.

I hate PA.

Not quite. Add fuel to those assholes and they become drunken assholes².

that is indeed a good part, but i'm loving his statement:

"I didn't touch her," Haynesworth responded, according to the document, adding that he doesn't "even like black girls."

excellent PR move there, sir.

Obviously you don't know who the fuck he is.

Haynesworth is also currently facing charges in Virginia for allegedly punching a man during a road-rage assault. That trial is scheduled for May. At one point last summer, he was also involved in lawsuits from a bank, an exotic dancer, a man injured in an automobile accident and complaints from his ex-wife that he wasn't paying for her health insurance or their children's bills.

WINNING!!!

This is too much.  Casting themselves as David to the City Paper's Goliath.  I love it.

In other Redskins news, I thought they made sound decisions in the first round yesterday.
