    To borrow from the Junks and Sonner, this guy is a massive donk, but we already knew that.

    I asked this on the thread with the original story, but could Snyder be a Scientologist? The Tom Cruise thing and the media paranoia were my initial reasons. But this thing, threatening legal action just because you know you could outspend your opponent, that's exactly how the Scientologists got themselves declared an official church.

    And the Os are in a pretty good place, baseball-wise. If they were in any other division, they would be a sexy wild card pick.

    Snyder is pulling the anti-Semitic card because of the accompanying picture with the beard and horns.

    Did his radio station address this today or are Czabe, Pollin, Thompson etc just puppets of the midget?

    How do you defame someone's character when he doesn't have any to begin with?

    It's tough sledding being a Redskins fan.

    So much ridiculous drama.

    And he's suing over these specific items.....the same guy who owns a team called the REDSKINS.

    Way to pick your battles, Danny boy.

    I'm in.
    McKenna's editor seems to be behind him. Writers at these "City Papers" have pretty much called every politician every name in the book. I hope they don't back down off calling out Snyder for what he is: a chiseling, greedy, idiotic, moronic pathetic excuse for a sports franchise owner, and that's saying a lot.

    Peter Angelos gets a pass from me because of his stance toward replacement players in MLB during the 94-95 strike. Peter absolutely refused to field a team during that period and he had my respect. Yes, I have heard some bad stuff about him, but Dan Snyder is far and away the worst owner in sports.

    Outstanding. My favorite passage:
    "I understand why you were upset by this article. By unkindly focusing only on the negative aspect of your ownership, the author, Dave McKenna, is suggesting that you are an avaricious, imperious, conscienceless plutocrat with callous contempt for the fans; a man whose Napoleonic, pouter-pigeon swagger conceals a doofus-like understanding of the game and whose pernicious, autocratic meddling has consigned the team to perpetual mediocrity and its players and coaches to a perennial state of harrowing anxiety, all of this starting virtually from the moment you arrived and continuing to this very minute."
