Again, in my opinion, this is just a mudraker story.

Maybe the Post has an agenda against the team (I don't think this is a secret) but either way, the bottom line is that Snyder has consistently made a decision to punish the fans of the team when they cannot or do not fufill the ticket contracts.

I don't care that it averages out to 20 - 30 a year over 5 years, in fact that seems to provide even more evidence that they are extremely comfortable with this course of action.

Their attorney also said that for every suit, there are half a dozen or so (I would think more than that) people that accept an alternative arrangement. So there are hundreds if not thousands of fans that have come to some agreement on how to make the team whole.

On top of that, the team resells seats that people are being forced to pay off, to ticket brokers. So in essense, tickets are sold to fans, if they can't pay they are sued, same tickets are re-sold to brokers instead of people on the waiting list and many times these end up in the hands of opposing fans.

Win, win for Snyder no matter what happens. If a few grandmas go bankrupt in the process, who cares, the other team's fan is there to buy his $8.50 beers and sit in the "deadbeat's" seat.

Gotcha, I agree, no grandmother should go bankrupt due to the Redskins legal policies. I agree 100%.
