Daniel Snyder-“We just feel terrible. We’re disappointed. We’re embarrassed, and we hope to get it going soon.”

By Ben Linton

Washington Redskins Owner Daniel Snyder has finally spoken out on what is going on in Washington with the Redskins. Snyder was speaking at an event to celebrate the franchises’ charitable program to renovate football fields at Maryland High Schools and had some rare comments. Usually Snyder ducks his head into his shell like a turtle and is nowhere to be found when the Redskins aren’t doing well, so this is very surprising.

Snyder stated,“We feel frustration and are disappointed for our fans, Obviously our performance to date is not what we expected, and we hope to turn that around.”

When asked about two controversies that are surrounding the Redskins- Snyder’s suing of fans who couldn’t pay premium tickets and a ban on fans carrying signs into games- he declined to comment. Once again this shows that he is just a coward that is trying to make money. Why would you sue your own fans? Doing this only makes you lose fans and lose support. Redskins fans are some of the most die hard fans in the NFL, and if you can’t drive them to the point where they no longer root for your team, then you’ve done something wrong.

And what’s so bad about signs? That is part of the experience of attending a football game, and now you strip that away from fans? Is this really about the game, or just yourself?

No more signs?

There’s a song by One Republic and Timbaland that has the lyrics “It’s too late to apologize.” I think Snyder needs to listen to this song. I don’t think any Redskin fan can forgive him after all the stress and turmoil he has put them through. What he should do is fire himself, if that’s possible, or get a new general manager, not your golf buddy, someone that knows football to run your franchise will you sit back and try not to get in the way. Then, and only then, your apology will be accepted.
