Brian LaFemina Out Less Than 1 Year In

The majority of redskins fans don’t go to games with any regularity - they don’t even live close enough to do so. Like every other team, the redskins have fans all over the country.

For those who do go to games, did you notice a marked improvement this year? It sure didn’t look like it to me watching the games on tv. Fans weren’t showing up!

The football side of things needs to improve and that will bring the fans back. And i would bet that #1 on the wish list of local fans is getting a new stadium in DC. Bruce Allen is evidently doing a good job at that.

I’m not defending the firing of Lafemina. I’m just saying it’s completely irrelevant to the product on the field. Winning fixes everything and Lafemina wasn’t going to help or hurt us in that department.

I agree but ol' Danny boy might not be aware of this. He seems to be concerned that the stadium is pretty empty on game day. We all know the marketing side of the op would have a much easier time if the football side took care of business. One thing's for sure, we're a long ways removed from the days where the stadium would sell out even with a shit team playing. That's a good thing for us, and even Danny can't ignore it.

In the end the business side ties into the football side. For the causal fan the Lafemina stuff is barely a blip on the radar. But it's a very significant thing big picture. It proves that Snyder is not willing to change and on the football side of things we'll continue to see the same old shit show.

This.


Now you see why he's a Trump supporter. He's a direct clone of him. Horrible business man who's unethical and cons people. His ego will not allow him to admit mistake and change. Also hates the press because they expose his flaws and ineptness.

Tweets constantly, always in front of the camera saying crazy stuff. Promotes his line of trucker caps and gives everyone nicknames.

Snyder was actually a good business man. He is pretty much self-made.

Doesn't mean anything when it comes to running an NFL team but no revisionist history here please.

He is the exact opposite of a Trump clone.

There is a political forum!

You really don't know shit about Snyder based off this comment. First off, he made his bank from a telecom (robo-call) business that was slammed for illegally changing people's long distance service without their knowledge or approval. Right about the time he was being handed a 3.1 million fine for his activities in the scheme. He soon sold the company at the peak only to see legislation against robo-calling and watched the company plummet in value. Had he sold it about 6 months later, he wouldn't be owning the Skins right about now.

Also another fun fact. He owed his business partners in GTE 3 milllion from a previously failed business venture.

Snyder isn't some business man that is self made. He got lucky and did unethical and illegal things to get there, with good timing. Has any of his other businesses ever panned out? Not hardly. So yeah, he is in a way like Trump. He's conned people into thinking he's a good businessman, much like you. His ego is too fucking huge to admit he's wrong, and he's not ever going to change until he dies.

Not sure how it's defined in NC.

Listening to the Kevin Sheehan show with Thom Loverro and Thom has added some insights:

- Thoms sources said that Allen and Jay are both very worried about their jobs. They don’t know if they’re getting fired or not
- The Swearinger release was described by a source as a “Hail Mary” attempt to keep their jobs.

To me, this is good news. Hoping to see them both gone after the season.

Please please have Allen's fears be true! Fire that Rudy poo candy ass.

This has nothing to do with Lafemina’s termination. Lafemina reported to Snyder. Snyder fired him. And while, as fans, we lump everything together as it all represents dysfunction of Snyder’s ownership, lafemina was on the operations side. His firing has nothing to do with what Snyder does on the football side.

Lafemina was fired because he and his guys were getting ready to clean house and get rid of a bunch of long time lower level redskins employees who were “Snyder guys.” Snyder was not pleased with a lot of what Lafemina was doing, and he probably would not have lasted much longer here, but his firing yesterday was a “preemptive strike” from Snyder to keep
Lafemina from firing those guys.

While this reeks of dysfunction, it was on the operations side of things. It may impact the stadium plan, ticketing, concessions, etc, but it has nothing to do with the football side. It is completely independent of Bruce and jays job

It reeks of Snyder being a person that cares only about himself and having smoke blown up his ass. Nothing new there. This team is ran by shitheads.

The dysfunction of this organization is well documented, but you’re getting upset about Lafemina as if he was some kind of messiah.

He was a head of non-football operations. His job is one that fans of any other team in sports wouldn’t even care about. 99 percent of Other teams fans don’t even know the name of the individual in the organization who has an equivalent job as Lafemina. No matter how good or bad at his job he was or would have been, it would never have had ANY influence on the football teams staff, personnel, or game results.

Had he been let go a week from now when Allen is no longer in his role, you probably wouldn’t have even notice. But his firing has somehow become a lightning rod for frustrated fans who just want an outlet for their frustration.

Your frustration with the organization is completely justified, but this is a completely irrelevant move from a football perspective.

If it was a one off thing I'd agree, but this is just typical Snyder shit. These guys have been here less than a year and already getting fired/resigning. As far as I've read, these were respectful guys and already gone. It just comes off again that if you don't tell Dan and Bruce that their shit smells like roses you get fired.

But this type of thing is true in many jobs. Every boss / manager / director / owner- to some degree, wants "yes people" around them in some capacity.

I just think Dan is who takes it to extremes.
