Daniel Snyder is easily one of if not the most hated owner in the entire NFL, with a laundry list of blunders and shady decisions that stretches two decades long since he first purchased the Washington Redskins in 1999. While detailing every flaw in Snyder's tenure as owner could probably reach hours in length, this video aims to understand the key reasons as to why he is so maligned and has so little respect amongst NFL fans and executives alike.

Do not speak to him and do not make eye contact with him. Thats not just a suggestion that employees shared with eachother. That's an actual rule that one of his assistants gave directly to my boss.

People might not believe this comment, but I believe it to actually be true. A friend of mine, the company he worked for, got a contract to do a job at the former R*&^%ins Park.... So they pulled up in their trucks, and immediately a couple suits and some security people came out. It was normal on these deals for everyone to go into a conference room at the start of one of these jobs, and do the whole "this is where you park, these are the entrances you use, these are the ID badges you will wear, during these times we need these areas clear..." the usual stuff. So they kind of thought, okay, we're gonna do this in the parking lot?? Okay, whatever.... No. This parking lot meeting was, these are THE RULES for anyone who enters this building. You do not speak to Mr Snyder. You do not look at Mr Snyder. You do not make eye contact with Mr Snyder. Ever. If Mr Snyder is walking down a hallway, you get out of that hallway.... they all had to agree to this, before they were allowed in the building....

Pretty much nailed it. When I think of winning programs and franchises I think of The Steelers, Packers, Ravens, Patriots what do they have for the most part long term coaches stability and staff respect for their fans. When I think of the worst run franchises I think of The Lions, Browns, Jets, Browns, WFT and before recently The Bungles, Bucs, Cardinals and Saints minus the last 10 years. Very easy to root for The Ravens even in their down years, not so for the WFT aka the Commanders. Don't know why they couldn't just call them The Washington Indians and redo the helmet logo move on.

Great video and extremely well done but the part I disagree with is that Snyder is not the root of all of the problems with this franchise - he most certainly is. He's the owner, everything is on him because he has all of the power. He let Cerrato run the front office for a decade, then let Bruce Allen run the front office for a decade without any regard for their level of competence in making front office decisions. It's a trickle down effect and all starts at his feet.

Nah, Jerry is right there with the worst. The man desperately wants to be respected as a football genius, but he just isn't. The man doesn't break down tape. He doesn't know talent. He desperately wants to win a superbowl his way (because let's face it... he gets no respect for the '95 superbowl because everyone knows Jimmy built that team) but he never will. The most successful franchises in history most often give control of personnel decisions to the coach or in many cases, coach and general manager.... in none of them are the owners meddling and involved in selecting and evaluating talent. Jerry needs to sit his ass down, stay in the background and just sign the checks for the people who know what the hell they're doing.

[@UnclePhil1112]

Honk Honkler prime example: the patriots. Robert Kraft has been completely hands off and has entrusted that franchise to Belichick and look and where that’s gotten them. Jerry boy should take a few pointers

[@sickofguysnamedtodd2293]

Jerry Jones is literally the only owner who fired a head coach that just won him TWO Super Bowls. Most head coaches get contract extensions and fitted for a ball of fame blazer for that. Not in Jerry’s world...you get a pink slip and a two million dollar buyout of your contract. Jimmy Johnson built that team from a complete joke into a powerhouse and Jones fired him because he had too much ego and thought he should get the most credit for the Cowboys early 90’s dominance. Save for a super bowl win two years after Jimmy left (which deserves an asterisk because it came from a team mostly built by Jimmy) what has jones done since??

[@rars0n]

Vinny Cerrato is on the 10-2 radio show on 105.7 The Fan in Baltimore. He also coaches high school football at Fallston High School in Harford County, the same high school I graduated from in 2000. For what it's worth, from what he's spoken about his time working for Snyder, it sounds like most of what he did was done to please Snyder. It seems like he understood the problems that were being created but knew that Snyder wouldn't have anything less than his way, and so he complied. If we're to believe his side of the story, I kind of feel bad for him as I think his football IQ is probably better than what the results in DC showed. And honestly, history seems to jibe with his version of events, as Snyder continuously hires and fires talented people who don't agree with his idiotic vision of running a football team. I think Vinny knew he had a "good" job, at least status-wise, and wanted to keep it. GM of the Redskins was a huge step beyond his short role in 1994's "Kindergarten Ninja" (I'm not even joking, look it up). At the same time, Dan Snyder is the same guy who once chaired Six Flags and brokered a deal to sell mattresses at the park as "the official mattress of Six Flags." Yeah, no kidding, look that up, too. It's worth the read. Snyder is pretty much a cancer to everything he touches. He's an accidental millionaire, and a prime example of being in the right place at the right time. The Washington Football Team will always face an uphill battle towards success as long as he owns the team.

[@logicaldude3611]

If Snyder would simply sit back and let football people run his football team the way they want to, he could turn a corner. But he's a lifelong fan and wants to meddle too much. Imagine playing Madden franchise mode but it's real life and you're the real owner, that's Dan Snyder. I'll give him a little credit though, he canned Bruce which none of us thought would ever happen. He's stepped back and let Rivera come in and pretty much do whatever he wanted. Rivera even cut Dwayne Haskins, a pick Dan Snyder had unilaterally made the season before. There is still hope for the guy, I have to believe that as a fan.

It was a love affair that bridged otherwise irreconcilable socio-economic divides. And this includes the team's leanest and most alienating years prior to 1999 (remember, this was the last NFL team to integrate and represents a majority-minority city). D.C. was an NFL town while the NFL was barely a blip on the national sports radar. Only someone like Dan Snyder could end that love affair.

I'm not in any way excusing the allegations, but do we really need cheerleaders for an NFL team? Let's be honest, their whole purpose is to be ogled by drunks or sent out on publicity stunts. And I'm not necessarily saying that's wrong, just that with all the 'outrage' (which, admittedly, there hasn't been as much as probably warranted...) I thought there'd be more directed at the institution in general. I certainly think what happened in Washington was an outlier, but I doubt it's by that much. The entire thing is completely built upon sexist hiring practices and absurd body image rules. And I'm specifically talking about 'professional' cheerleaders, I understand giving younger girls something to do at a football game, but these are full grown women I think they'll be okay.

You could tell almost immediately that he was going to be a disaster. Fantasy Football FA signings, bringing in incompetent friends and boobs to eff up the front office, to firing Marty (his biggest mistake), as well as going to war with his own fan base, over every jot and tittle, he was an immediate, malignant cancer to this team. One that never goes away. It is sad that the Skins went from having best owner in pro sports (Cooke) and a great front office, to maybe the worst owner in all of pro sports history. C'set la vie.

I've been a Washington fan since 2010, I didn't watch the team during snyder's first decade of ownership, but I'm well aware of his history running the team. Given all that has happened this past off-season as well as the past two years, I would hope that Snyder realizes that he needs to have competent football people run the team and that he would step back from those decisions. The team did alot this off-season to hopefully change the narrative about them going forward, of course, it Remains to be seen, but im encouraged by what has been done. As for the sexual harassment allegations, im going to wait and see what comes of it, its unfortunate that it happened. At this point, i just want to worry about the actual football on the field, I do believe that if Dan doesn't interfere, Rivera can turn this team around, snyder has no choice now that people are losing interest and with the recent successes of the other DC sports teams.

They felt honored to have the team be named that.

The Redskins aren't the first, the Indians and the Braves both did it first, and if you didnt meaning that way then how can you believe that they were the FIRST professional SPORTS team? Of course I hope you meant it the first way, even though you still have to be pretty dense to believe either. The were not THE FIRST professional SPORTS team, nor were they the first to use the Native theme, and the Indians actually chose that name because they were honoring the first Native to play in the MLB, while the Redskins were the Boston Braves at first to copy the Baseball team, not to honor Natives. They changed it to Redskins to get their own identity. So really, none of their name is truly original nor does it honor them.
