I don't blame them one bit. After all the stuff Snyder has pulled, I don't know if I could be a fan anymore if I were in their shoes either.
Copying this from another board, don't know the original source:
The Snyder/Cerrato Specific Embarrassments
1. Firing Norv Turner…at the Stadium…while the team was over .500 and in playoff contention
2. Firing 30 Commanders employees in his first month on the job
3. Charging Fans to Attend Training Camp
4. Obstructed View Seats!
5. Bingo!
6. “The Maroon and Black”
7. Snyder didn’t like what was being said on the Commanders Fan Message board, so he bought it
8. Snyder didn’t like what was being said on the local sportstalk radio station, so he bought it
9. Snyder heard Commanders fans occasionally had fun at Six Flags Parks, so he bought (and bankrupted) it
10. “Inside the Red Zone with Vinny Cerrato”
11. The Club Seats at FedEx – Its very inspiring to see a large section in the middle of the stands sparsely populated for every single game
12. The most expensive parking, concessions and tickets in the league
13. Al Saunders 700 page playbook
14. Snyder Suing Season Ticket Holders
15. Treating draft picks like most people treat pennies
16. The Commanders Trade Coles for Moss and take a $5 million dead money cap hit in the process
17. The Skins give up 3 draft picks (a first, third and fifth) to draft Jason Campbell
18. Hiring Jim Zorn as offensive coordinator…”Oh did we say coordinator, because we meant head coach.”
The Really Embarrassing Losses
1. 2009: Lost to Lions, who were 0-19 in the previous 19.
2. 2009: Lost (at home) to the Chiefs, who were 1-16 in their last 17 games
3. 2007: Lost a squeaker to the Patriots 52-7.
4. 2005: Loss to the Giants 36-0
5. Mercifully, we’ll group the really bad Spurrier losses by year: 2003: Lost to the Eagles 31-7 on national television, lost to the Cowboys 27-0 in a “must win” game, lost to the juggernaut that was the Buffalo Bills 24-7 at home.
6. 2002 Spurrier: Lost 37-7 to the Eagles on Monday Night Football, Spurrier does gum flapping thing in slow motion. Lost to the Packers 30-9, and lost at home to the New Orleans Saints 43-27 (Who was the Saints QB, you ask? Oh no, it was not Drew Brees, or Archie Manning or Jesus Christ…it was Aaron Brooks. Aaron Brooks lit the Skins up for 43.).
7. The First Four Games of the Schottenheimer Era: L to San Diego 30-3, Lose to Green Bay 37-0, Lose to Kansas City 45-13, Lose to the Giants 23-7. Those were fun.
8. 2001: Week 15 and week 16 losses to the Cowboys and Steelers by scores of 32-13 and 24-3 respectively, also known as “The Robiskie Era.” Yes, after a 9-7 loss to the Giants that put the Skins to 7-6, this is when Snyder fired Norv Turner and insisted that Jeff George replace Brad Johnson for the rest of the season. That went well.
File These Under Other Various Embarrassments
1. The Champ Bailey for Clinton Portis Trade
2. The Gus Ferrotte Head Butt Game**
3. The Joe Gibbs Double Time Out Loss
4. Schottenheimer clears cap space, finishes the season 8-3….and is fired.
5. Zorn and Hip Hip Hooray
6. Snyder making a profit off of 9-11 themed Commanders merchandise
7. The Tailgating Fiasco of 2009
8. Trading two draft picks for T.J. fuging Duckett
9. Osaka!
10. The 67 times Steve Spurrier didn’t know the name of one of his players during a public appearance…”Yes, well, uh, Darternian Mccotton headed ninny muggins made a nice catch on that one there…”
11. Hey! It’s Pepper Rodgers!
**This actually happened in 1997, when Snyder had nothing to do with the Commanders, but oddly enough this is still somehow his fault.
