Dan Snyder wants writer who ripped him fired
Posted by Michael David Smith on February 2, 2011, 2:50 PM EST
In November, a writer named Dave McKenna wrote an article for the Washington City Paper headlined, “The Cranky Redskins Fan’s Guide to Dan Snyder: From A to Z (for Zorn), an encyclopedia of the owner’s many failings.”

Snyder was not amused.

The Washington Post reports that Snyder is now threatening legal action against the City Paper and is seeking McKenna’s dismissal.

So far, Snyder has not filed a lawsuit, but one of his lawyers confirmed that a lawsuit is being prepared. For its part, the City Paper is standing by its decision to publish the piece ripping Snyder, and calling McKenna a “stellar reporter.”

So it sounds like Snyder won’t get his wish, and McKenna won’t be fired. And Snyder will also discover that his decision to ask for McKenna’s termination ensures that many people who hadn’t read “The Cranky Redskins Fan’s Guide to Dan Snyder” will now.

Profits were not directed toward any sort of relief effort aimed at victims of the September 11th attacks."

How stupid can you get?

James Rubin, a Montgomery County attorney who represented the ticket sellers, says that he was shocked to learn during the case that Snyder now requires all employees to sign a document waiving their right to sue him “as a condition of employment.”

I think that guy works for KSDK in St. Louis now.

Edit: Yeah, it's the same guy.

Read it and it sounds like facts, not really opinion based character bashing. Don't think "Andyman" has a leg to stand on.

This is rich.

Quote:

Redskins Extra Points MasterCard: The only credit card Snyder told fans he’d accept for season ticket payments for the 2005 season. He withdrew the demand following a threatened ticketholder revolt and after MasterCard told the Redskins to drop it.

Wow...foot shuffling porter redux!

Quote:

Rodgers, Pepper: FedEx official whom Snyder almost made Redskins head coach. Snyder knew he wanted to fire Norv Turner in the middle of the 2000 season, but he didn’t have anybody to put in charge. So he contemplated Rodgers, 69, who had never coached in the NFL and whose last coaching stint was with the Memphis Mad Dogs of the CFL. Rodgers’ main qualification for the Redskins job was that, after FedEx became a Redskins sponsor, he watched games with Snyder in the owner’s box and told stories about coaching John Riggins at the University of Kansas.

What a ****ing douche. Lol.

This is what happens when a lifelong fan owns the team. Classless and deranged!

Quote:

Vanilla: Flavor of ice cream that Snyder left to thaw in defensive coordinator Mike Nolan’s office TWICE in one season to let the coach know the owner felt his schemes were simplistic, or vanilla. John Feinstein wrote that Snyder’s second delivery, after a loss to Dallas, consisted of “three giant canisters of melting 31 Flavors ice cream” and a note that said “I do not like vanilla.”

Heh, I heard them talking about this on Sirius NFL Network. What a turd.

If you've ever been to a game at Fedex you'd understand. Horrible stadium, horrible fans, and horrible owner.

The Chiefs are somewhat guilty of this type of local media spin control too, by making 101 the Fox and 810 WHB their "official" stations for Chiefs info. It's hard to trust the objectiveness of WHB in their Chiefs coverage, because if they are critical, they would be biting the hand that feeds them. They've really lightened up on the Chiefs over the past year for that reason. And they've bashed the Royals once all the radio rights went over to Entercom and 610 sports.

Always remember to follow the money.

**** the Redskins. They have had a SB in the last 20 years.

This goes for every team that bitches about ANYTHING yet won a Super Bowl since I've been alive.
