FYI…Danny Boy has made “zero” PR gains since the hiring of Shanahan. The fact that he is on a PR blitz is evidence that he is well hated and should sell the team, pack up his things, and move to the most remote village on earth.

THANK YOU!!!

I felt like I was one of the few who couldn’t figure out how this was an attack on his wife.

Snyder is an embarassing owner to have for our team. This is such a cluster.

And I had to respond to the following comment:

Shame on Skins fans for enabling this monster.

Why? Because we buy tickets? Because we’re hungry at the stadium and are forced to buy an $18 burger? We’re thirsty and have to buy an overpriced drink? Because we CARE ABOUT THE PLAYERS ON THE TEAM!?!?!?

Why don’t we make Snyder the owner of your team, and let him wreak havoc on your beloved team. A group of people might give up on the team, but if you’re a true fan of the team, you may find that kind of hard to do.

Skins fans have done nothing to enable him, because as many people that would/should stop going (in your eyes)…there’s 10-fold of those that will go in their place.

It’s not enabling…if so…then being a fan is being an enabler of any owner. We just have an evil owner.

Get off that tired “point”…it holds zero weight.

Why doesn’t he just buy the paper, shut it down, and fire everybody?

Buhuhu.. Is little Danny gonna cry about an article..

Isn’t the hold point of freedom of speech than you can write whatever you want with common sense in mind and get away with it?

I hope the case goes to trial and the judge tears this baby a new one and orders him to pay the cost of this ridiculous case..

Why doesn’t he just keep his mind on ruining the deadskins so they can get another 4th place in the NFC East..

@metallhead65 he can feel whatever he wants, and so can the media, in this case he (snyder) is making remarks that are in no way backed up by any facts. To try to say that his wife was targeted by an article that anyone can click over and read and see that there was no such attack is just silly. It’s going to make him look childish and this article in particular didn’t say anything negative about him. It merely stated (correctly) that by making a big deal out of an article that a handful of people had read, and going forward with a lawsuit that has no basis, Mr. Snyder has guaranteed that 100X the people who read the article before will read it, and kept the article in the public eye, and invited even more criticism of himself.

I am not a skins fan so could care less but like to know when it became ok for this site and the media to write and say anything they want about a person yet get all indignant when they dare respond?you not only rip them for what they do on the field but for anything they say or do off the field,yet if they respond back or try and defend themselves you attack that and act as if they have no right to defend or answer you back. if the lawsuit is groundless it will be thrown out or he will lose but he has the right to respond to whatever he felt offended by and not just let it go.so what if nobody read to begin with,he felt they said something about his wife and wants to defend her,let him do it.

I believe that the author of that City Paper article did apologize for Dan Snyder being a terrible Owner.

I read the City Paper article when it first came out, and really just forgot about it. Then the lawsuit came and I didn’t re-read it btu I heard Snyder interviewed and thought he sounded rational. However, after reading the article again there is jack squat that mocks his wife, this is the only reference to her

“His wife, Tanya Snyder, is out selling the transformation, too. Last week she went on local TV to tell an interviewer that he is now surrounded by “better people,” and that he’s “grown and he’s evolved.”

Well, maybe his wife can find evidence of Snyder’s growth and evolution. I can’t.”

So that is just reporting what his wife said in local interviews. Absolutely nothing wrong with that in any universe.

Now onto the cancer, the article states the following

“Market Segments: How Snyder viewed cancer patients and diabetics during his marketing days. In a 2000 interview for a PBS show called CEO Exchange, Snyder told host Jeff Greenfield that his business depended on coming up with “$5 million niches” that he could sell goods and services to. Asked for examples of his methodology, Snyder said, “We were looking at trend lines. We saw that the aging baby boomer demographics were coming on strong. That meant there’s going to be a lot more diabetic patients, a lot more cancer patients, etc. How do we capture those market segments?””

That is from a videotaped interview of Snyder taht appeared on PBS, how can you sue for something you said?????

Whats right is right and whats wrong is wrong, and Dan Snyder has catastrophically wrong. City Paper did not mock his wifes cancer nor were they anti-semetic, anyone who thinks otherwise is a moron. I hope City Paper wins and counter sues Snyder.

The Washington City Paper is getting a lot of press for this and they have Danny to thank for it. He’s making himself stupider by the minute.

What’s the difference between his “tumultuous early days of ownership” and now? Is it that he allows Shanny to create the turbulence rather than directly causing it himself?

This article was changed to say “while pointing out Snyder’s history” instead of the original “while pointing out Snyder’s hypocrisy”.

If anything, Snyder’s lawsuit has accomplished one thing: PFT is scared of him.

Snyder is such a bone head, sales reps at the City Paper should send him thank you notes for drawing so much attention to their dying print rag, businesses love to be apart of something that goes against the db NFL owners who rip them off with overpriced everything.

You want to crush something support it’s competition…It’s print and print is going away.

I really think the NFL needs to step in and reprimand Snyder for giving the league a bad name on this one.

If this were a player doing something he would be fined, or his party would be canceled like they did to Mike Vick recently.

I didn’t see anywhere in that article where they mocked Snyder’s wife. (Or in the linked interviews.)

I love this quote:

“I hate to see Dan have to take legal action,” Wyllie said. “But when people cross the line and attack someone, and question their character . . .

I figured there was no question that Dan Snyder is a raging douche.
