Snyders SIx Flags "sinking fast"

[Rajmahal33]

I've read that Washingtonian article too. Don't make the mistake of thinking Dan Snyder is a fool, b/c he is a VERY savvy businessman. If you have any doubts compare the Redskin's net worth when he bought the franchise to what it is today. We may not have won a lot of games since then but he is definitely getting wealthier in the meantime. Also, arguably, if we even had the success of say a tampa bay or seattle (usually playoff contenders but not exactly elite) over the same time period, Snyder could be a billionaire many times over by now. Even his meddlesome tactics (bringing in high priced/big name FA's and coaches, opening up practices while smoking his cigar, etc) stand to make him more money than the direct impact of these moves on the team b/c he keeps the redskins name in the media's mind throughout. As long as fans/media are talking about the redskins, whether it is singing our praises or tearing into us, he has kept us relevant unlike some other once golden franchises (SF, Miami, and Oakland come to mind). He is a genius for this b/c he puts out a sub-standard product (i.e. the skins record) but has increased his profit 2 or 3 times over by marketing and branding the hell out of the Redskins. Reminds me a little of Microsoft's business model, haha, and i'd say it's gone pretty well for them.
