Snyder selling the Commanders

[Sgt Schultz]

They weren't going to be able to keep Washington Football Team.  A group of their fans were ready to file a lawsuit over false advertisement.

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.

So the NFL will just have a new scumbag owner instead of Snyder.

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.

Sell it and rename it again.

Seriously.  Usually the bad names even start sounding fine but it's just awkward.

Any chance Jerry can afford them? Complete the 2nd chance Panthers. 

[mc52beast]

Tell Tepper to buy the Commandos so we can get a real owner

[stratocatter]

Lame jokes. The effort is appreciated though. 
 

If not Bezos, who?

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.
