Lol. I do get wordy. Funny because my first book was much more concise. (CRISIS IN BAGHDAD - available on Amazon).
Snyder has been a disaster for this franchise from day 1:
1. Micromanage the football operations and intrusion into the selection of team players using his GM/VP proxies, first Vinnie Cerrato and then Bruce Allen. These two guys did Snyder’s bidding and were the shield for Snyder of an increasingly frustrated fan base and local sports writers - who blamed Cerrato and Allen!!cIt is impossible to know how much Cerrato or Allen actually knew about football or whether 100% of their decisions were self-generated or if it was all Snyder weaving his web. Bruce Allen was hated by players reps and placed LAST in a USA Today poll a couple years ago. I think Allen realized what a disaster Snyder was with his secret decision-making for the team. He was just trying to make his job last as long as possible. That’s why he adopted the mantra that, “All is well”, “Team is about to turn the corner”, “next year we’ll be in the playoffs”.
Of course his favorite saying was that the team needed to win - ON AND OFF THE FIELD. Like anyone gives a shitte about the non-football stuff. You are what your record says you are!
Ever wonder why football geniuses like Gibbs and Shanahan had crappy records with their turn with Snyder’s Redskins - and roughly the same record as HC disasters like Jim Zorn? Because Snyder through his GM shield was making many of the personnel decisions. Just like Snyder’s hero: Jerry Jones. But Snyder knows NOTHING about NFL football . Which is why the team has mostly sucked for 20 years.
In the administrative and non-football side of the operations, again Snyder was like a tin-plated, narcissistic despot. All employees had a non-disclosure form they had to sign to become an employee. This kept the secrets on many of the unsavory things happening in Asburn. “Employee’s has certain bizarre rules: “Don’t look Snyder in the eyes (i.e., look at the ground)”. “If you see Snyder in the hallway, turn around and go the other way”. “Boss doesn’t want to see you eating”. Snyder owns a big yacht and I guess he wanted all his employees to be like those on his yacht: subservient, lowly workers. Women were reportedly hired for their looks and then googled at by all the men, especially the higher ups. In one alleged incident, Snyder saw an average looking woman (an unpaid intern) in the hallway and immediately ordered her fired. In fact, many of allegations are for the misuse and abuse of UNPAID cheerleaders. Young and beautiful women who are not getting paid and trying to get ahead in this world were reportedly targeted for sex while on junkets. Any who reported the team activities to HR were simply told to shut up or quit. They all quit and kept quiet because Snyder sues people at the drop of a hat - which is the true purpose of the non-disclosure form. To keep everything secret! While filming a “Making of a Redskin’s Bikini calendar (2008)”, there was a SECOND film being made on the sidelines with the cheerleaders in various states of undress. They were not paid, nor did they know about the second sleazy film.
I know this is long, but Snyder, the ultimate petty dictator, always has people out front in football operations (Cerrato/Allen) and on the non-football side to take any heat from the media or fans. As usual, he denies any knowledge of the illegal and sleazy activities through the years. Yet, he ran the team and his staff like a micro-managing Godfather.
He’s fired all the front men from Bruce Allen, to Larry Micheal’s (voice of the Redskins) who were all well-paid. If just ONE of those front men talks to the NFL investigation, Snyder is done. I personally think that Snyder will be told to quietly sell the team after the season is over. He is now a pariah in Washington, Maryland it Virginia. No politician will lift a finger to help him for a new stadium- even if he pays for it himself!!. His co-owners, the fans and certainly the media dislike or even hate him. Only the previously grossly overpaid FA, like Dion Sanders, or owners who regularly beat Snyder’s perpetually crummy teams (like Jerry Jones) are behind Snyder now. But with more and more verified allegations from this teams “ off the field”
activities coming out, it is hard to imagine Snyder surviving this. Because Snyder has burned his bridges for any future stadium, he becomes an albatross to the NFL. They’ll fire the butt boy of the NFL and the team will be run by a new billionaire. A new owner COULD NOT be a BIGGER DISASTER, on and off the field, than Danny Snyder has been for this misused team and it’s employee’s.
