I'm not emotionally invested in my bank, actors, or the history of the local store I shop at. Certainly not Amazon Wal Mart and Target. I am emotionally invested in my sports teams, and therefore to me the character of the people who run them matters to me.

YMMV.

Literally no one cares about your emotions. How you feel about it makes zero difference.

Your money on the other hand…

Well it’s not that he’s wrong, it’s just well like you said….it’s applicable to literally everything.

Switch it to WTF... 

Nobody could accuse them of false advertising for that one.

I was in the DC area for work two weeks out of the six that ended last week.  Nary a word was spoken about the Foreskins.  It's like the area doesn't identify with them anymore.  Considering how the team was embraced as recently as about ten years ago (maybe less), it is quite a fall from grace.

I'm sure a new owner would stop that bleeding, at least for a while. 

But, the slide probably started when they left RFK for the what is now FedEx Field.  Lousy stadium, no character, in an inconvenient location, and recently for a team with no apparent connection to its glory days.  They bollixed the renaming, probably in large part because it was not very cleanly executed.  From Redskins -> Football Team -> Commanders.  It gives rise to a "who are they this season" type feel.  The general attitude of the fans has been that the team would not recapture any success as long as Snyder owned the team.

And for most of Snyder's reign of terror, whatever their name was, they weren't very good.

I've been wondering how long it would take for the IRS to start asking questions, too.  He hid money from the NFL.  Seems like they will be interested in where that money went, specifically their cut of it.

My heart bleeds for the little p*#@k. 

 

Ironic to say the least. 90% of our politicians are crooked as $hit yet they  send in their minions to investigate others.

No joke. 

I always get a chuckle when they charge somebody or threaten to with "lying to Congress."  Really?  If they charged everybody that lied in the chambers with that, the only person in the capitol would be the janitor.

I've always been an advocate of the line about limiting politicians to two terms: one in office and one in prison.  And that rings true no matter which party holds the gavels.

In that respect, Dan Snyder is the perfect owner of the area football team.

Commanders is a shitty name. Sorry. Redskins was so much better. But okay you can’t have Redskins for your name anymore so pick anything you want. Commanders. Really?
 

You want to be cool? This took literally 30 seconds of thinking about Washington DC: The Secret Agents. The Agents. The Bugs. Okay maybe not the bugs. I like the Secret Agents. 
But there must be a lot of better possibilities.

You compared my sports team to my attitude about my bank, Amazon etc. It's not that I expect you to care about my emotions, but rather I was pointing out why your lumping them in together isn't valid. There is a qualitative difference. 

I expected you to get that. Apparently I was wrong and you just decided to go on an irrelevant jag about how little anyone cares about my emotions, missing the entire point.

      Xavier Legette is the face of the NFL at the Kentucky Derby

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.
