His idea of the perfect Redskins fan is the one that drives to the stadium listening to one of the several radio stations he owns(which have about 25 minutes of actual Redskins talk per hour), pays $40 for parking, pays $90 for a seat in the nosebleeds, buys a few $9 beers and a $20 program, and watches the half assed performance on the field, all while wearing a $120 authentic Portis jersey and a $20 replica of Coach Gibbs' hat. Then they drive home, listening to the Super Official Postgame Show that is sponsored by 19 local area companies, and make a stop at Popeye's to get a bucket of the official chicken of the Washington Redskins. And the next day they go to KFC for the official chicken sandwich of the Washington Redskins.
So I agree that Snyder would like the Redskins to win for marketing purposes, but he couldn't give a shit from a football standpoint. His first love is your money, not your love for the Redskins.

But the funny thing is he's managed to make the Redskins the most profitable franchise in all of sports despite the fact the team has made the playoffs only twice since he's owned the team.
Now that's a salesman!
