Re: House Cleaning put on hold....

I'll never switch teams, its Redskins or bust in the NFL, but it also seems to be beyond incompetence, its like he genuinely hates all of our fans. It's fucking weird.

And he's a little weasel about it too, never hear a word from him, no interviews answering any questions.

Looks like we have some competition in the "tank for top 10 draft pick" next year:

Snyder and Allen aren't even competent enough to tank successfully.

Exactly. Even if they have the first pick of next year's draft, they'll pick the wrong guy...or even if they pick a solid QB, he won't succeed in their environment. Do we really think we could get the next coach and QB combination that would win in spite of horrible ownership and management? At best it would be like when Luck arrived with the Colts and he was really good but had no help and got beat to a pulp.

Re: House Cleaning put on hold....

So, here is my idea for how to create change with the Redskins:

Someone needs to put together a social media campaign to BOYCOTT!

But not boycott the Redskins (or more precisely, not just the Redskins). Boycott their sponsors. Publicly refuse to buy products/services from those companies that empower Dan Snyder with their money. Maybe he doesn't know or care about an empty stadium. I bet he would care if his sponsors started complaining.

Re: House Cleaning put on hold....

as someone else posted, first, and foremost, snyder is a businessman. attendance has gradually decreased over the last some odd years. but , the value of the redskins has increased every year that snyder has owned the team. so in realty, he really doesnt care if fans show up. thats not what butters his bread. and he knows it. he rally doesnt care at all what the fans think. that doesnt make his money. ive been a skins fan since 1970, and i always will be. there are enough of us around to keep the skins profitable. that, and the big fat TV contract they all share

he cares more about the new stadium deal than anything else in his life. He knows how the value of the franchise depends on that facility. He wouldn't think about selling until that thing is done.

Re: House Cleaning put on hold....

The lease for FedEx is up in 2027. Gov. Of Maryland is trying to doa land swap with dept of interior to get land for a stadium near national harbor. There are workings to try to approve federal land in the district as well as city land but one of the council members supporting Dan has just gotten busted on some unethical shit.

Oh and Dan wants a moat around the stadium too (some what sarcastic here but the architect Dan hired had drawings of a stadium with a moat he shared on 60 minutes)

Re: House Cleaning put on hold....

Yep however it will take around 2-3 years for construction alone but they will need to do an eIS plus other preconstruction requirements. We should know in a few years where it will be. I also do not know the specifics of the FedEx lease if there is a financial penalty for leaving early I could see Dan paying the penalty to do so if he feels the gains made by moving early are there. If not we have basically one more decade if FedEx field

Per JP Finlay.

Redskins are hoping to meet with Gregg Williams Tuesday

Side note : Why is Manusky still employed? This is a bush league thing to do to him IMO.
