TOUCAN Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Honest question, what does it take for him to say "You know what, I'm moving on." I understand that Danny was a fan before an owner, and as a fan he MUST see what's going on here, right? He has to hear the chants and see the stadium constantly empty unless its a marquis team that visits. Everyone has a breaking point, what do you think his is?

Slateman Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Death or the other owners forcing him out. That's it. That's literally it. There is nothing we, as fans, can do to affect Snyder's money. He isn't going to lose money on this team. If literally no one showed up to a game all season, he'd still make money via television rights and NFL revenue sharing. No boycott is going to bother Snyder. Likewise, diminished attendance won't do much. Particularly in an area with so many fans from across the country. The Skins will always have about 30-40K fans in the stadium for most home games. Snyder also doesn't care what other people think. I mean, the dude has sued too many people for that. I honestly get the feeling he's socially awkward and doesn't have a lot of friends in his life. So he doesn't care anymore, and that has likely made it so that he's more resolute in keeping the people he views as friends. So, honestly, the only way to get Snyder to sell the team would be for him to die, or for him to do something that would cause the other owners to basically force him to sell.

TOUCAN Posted November 21, 2019 Author Share Posted November 21, 2019 I'm a black man, and its weird for me to say that I wake up every day hoping theres some type of audio of Snyder dropping the N word repeatedly 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavar703 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 I doubt he’d ever sell. The Redskins are his ATM machine. No matter how bad they suck he’ll always make money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offbyone Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Snyder might be the epitome of a fan owner, but I still think he is a business man at heart. As a business man I can't imagine him selling right now because he would be selling low. Maybe if the stadium deal goes through he will consider it because despite sucking, that would be a huge plus for a new owner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won't change the name so he won't get a stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Draper Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 How do we know he’s a fan? Is it possible he’s the football version of the Manchurian Candidate? He idolizes Jerrah, sits next to him at every owners meeting, instructs his staff to shine Jerrahs shoes. Jerrah viewed the Redskins as his biggest challenge to winning Super Bowls when he bought the team. What better way to advance the Cowboys than to put in a Cowboys shill as owner of your greatest adversary. He was also the leading advocate for selecting Danny’s bid to buy the team. Without Jerrah, Danny doesn’t own the Redskins. CBS sports and the Washington Post have written extensively about their “special” relationship. So the answer to your question is: When Jerrah tells him to sell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been disproved over and over to be anything but another PC crusade. If they change the name, I might move on to another team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtle28 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 (edited) Nothing, the league would have to force him to sell it and I don't see that happening bc despite the poor product on the field the team is still worth $3.4 billion - the 7th highest in the league - and that will increase when Snyder builds his new stadium in a few years. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbsnews.com/amp/pictures/nfl-teams-list-most-valuable-ranked/ Quote 7. Washington Redskins, $3.4 billion The Redskins' franchise value jumped 10% since 2018. That value could increase even more if the Redskins get a new stadium in the near future. Quote Despite poor results on the field, Washington is still one of the biggest-earning franchises, with $493 million in projected revenue this year.

Agreed (especially bolded). Think of it this way. The guy wants to be liked by cool people. And I'm guessing that he was an annoying little runt in school and that social awkwardness stuck with him. If he sells the team now, he becomes just another billionaire who may (or may not) have friends that come visit him. BUT... Being the OWNER of an NFL team means that you are one of only 32 people in the whole world. That has a cachet that will get the cool kids to hang out with you vs. you just being another billionaire. This team is literally going to have to be pried from him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won't change the name so he won't get a stadium. He can literally get a new stadium right where Fed Ex field is now. He won't be turned down for permits and IMHO, it makes the most sense for him to stay right there. Additionally, neither MD or VA have been on record as that as a precondition for him getting a stadium. DC on the other hand has said he needs to change the name first, so... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
