Bunch of media drama hawks driving the narrative.

My main problems with the guy would be football related. Like why is this guy the GM? Who is really making roster decisions? Draft decisions?

You don't need to go outside the football aspect of things to call him one of the worst ever.

But if you do, it just adds to the stench.

I'd argue Dan Snyder has done more damage to his franchise's brand than any single person has done to any team in US sports history. He bought a franchise that was maybe a notch down from the Yankees/Canadiens/Celtics tier in terms of prestige. What he leaves behind ...

feel like that might be a bit of an exaggeration given he's not even the most shameful owner in Washington's history.

George Marshall fought vehemently against integration and said a Black player will only be on the Redskins over his dead body. it's the reason so much of the DC/Virginia market are Cowboys fans to this day, as a protest passed down from a generation 50 years ago.

the team has literally erased his name from their records and removed all mention of him from their stadium and offices, i don't think Snyder is going to get that treatment.

My favorite Snyder story was when Jay Gruden talked about their draft process 😄

When it came our time to pick, we’d always talk about the picks, where we’d like to go, what happens if the player is gone, and did all our scenarios. And then Dan Snyder would come in and make the pick.

Snyder was terrible and honestly the NFL should be embarrassed they didn't publicly force him out like they did to JR.

JR just responded to the situation differently.  He could have acted like Snyder but he agreed to sell the team instead.  They can't really force anyone out if that person is willing to be a pariah.

    • It’s simple. Win and everyone in here will say the culture is good. Dear lord the amount of time spent on these posts is hysterical. We’ve seen the end of season swoons where you can tell the team had given up with many of the same leaders that took us to playoff seasons. When your OL is decimated by injuries, it’s amazing how fast culture turns. When you get on a tear like 2015, everyone’s having fun. You need the right people regardless, but they have to win.
    • The difference is about how much player input is allowed and encouraged in the decision making process. Top down teams tend to dictate to players how everything is handled. Disagreements are handled by the coach and players are expected to do what they are told regardless of what they think or feel.  Players are perceived as commodities to be used until we find better. In player led teams player input is encouraged and valued. Players and especially leaders are expected to settle their own disagreements and be accountable to the team but mostly to each other. Players are family to be appreciated and supported in their growth. Is the reality of football the same in both? Yeah there are limited positions, football is a business and winning is the bottom line. Coaches get final say and run the program because that is their job. But in player led teams they feel valued, appreciated, part of a larger whole. Most people who have worked at multiple jobs know exactly what I am talking about. When players try to run the show and don't value  coach input that isn't a player led team, that is a circus which we surely are familiar with in our past.
