Can the 9:30 Club get sued if we have an anti-Snyder thread on this board?
-
his lawyer's media blitz is even more bizarre than the insane lawsuit
-
he is a nfl owner. he is a powerful, rich man. he's not going anywhere. you can't do anything about him except be jealous and bitch. he will never leave. that's what you get for supporting a sport where people are paid billions to play will balls while the world falls apart. you are to blame. you made him and every other owner of a huge sports team, what they are. live with it . . . because he sure is.
-
Don't blame me. I haven't watched an NFL game in its entirety since the 80's. I don't think i've even seen more than a minute or two of a REdskins game during Danny's entire tenure.
But I guess by "you" you were referring to blockhead nation in general.
-
i dont like the redskins either

...a minute or two.....That's at least a couple of hours in real time right?
-
Good point. What I meant was that it might have been on at a friends house or at a bar and I may have glanced at the tv for a couple of plays.

Not that anyone needs another reason to take issue with the lawsuit, but...
In Mr. Snyder's piece in yesterday's WP explaining his view of the refiling, he claims the refiling is pretty much only for legal technical reasons -- proper venue. A pretty big omission is the fact (as reported in today's WP) the suit now adds McKenna as a defendant. Going after the little guy... (admittedly the big guy and instigator in the case, sure). That's a pretty big difference. Even if it is standard legal practice to add that sort of entity to this sort of suit, the fact that Snyder not only doesn't mention that in his writing but strongly asserts the suit is the same, is troubling. (Yes, the suit may be the same; however the vibe is certainly different now that the author is facing this shit now) Ugh.

and if you say fuck, which is still cliche after fook being neato . . . kosmo will delete it. because kosmo is the forum's dan snyder.

Those are some fighting words, right there.
P.S. I would so buy some "Fuck Dan Snyder" club merch.

So who is the poisoned dwarf suing and for what?
-
some guy in my neighborhood has a bmw with H8DAN redskins license plates. pretty funny

Isn't it time for redskin nation to organize like they did in cairo?

I think Snyder is a puke owner as much as the next guy, but I kind of wonder about this. The WCP said he was "caught" forging names, which as Snyder said, does go to the heart of his business integrity. If this is a lie, then the WCP should state that for the record (and not in a singsongy "dude get over it lol!") kind of way. The fact is, Snyder gets roasted in the media ALL THE TIME and hasn't sued.
Maybe I'm taking him on his word a bit too much (I read his WP op-ed) but it seems like he has reason to want this corrected. If in fact he was caught forging names and he's lying or skewing the truth, then sure, fuck him. But if the WCP just made shit up because he's unpopular, then that's bullshit.
-
Its semantics. Florida concluded that Snyder Communications was involved with forging names to switch customers long distance companies without their permission. Business integrity speaks for itself.

The forgery thing isn't "a lie" per se, more a technicality. The CP said "Snyder was caught forging names" when it should have said "Snyder's firm" was forging names when switching their long distance carriers. They were fined for it, so it's not like the forgeries didn't happen. It is just a matter of attributing it to the firm rather than the douchebag himself.

For those who haven't read it, the article that has Snyder's panties in a twist (http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/articles/40063/the-cranky-redskins-fans-guide-to-dan-snyder/)

I guarantee you that if the Skins win two games in a row the stadium will be full again and people will be out en masse in their maroon SUVs with the flags out...It has always been thus
-
my favorite is he wants the cp to retract the "going all Agent Orange on federally protected lands" part because he didnt actually use agent orange

hmmmmmmm....the redskins always had a full stadium even when they turned shit. What happened there?

Yep, Snyder is a small-penised, yellow bellied, chicken shit coward. Not that we needed any more proof of this.

Nor has he ever replanted the trees, as he was compelled to do as part of the legal settlement.

Suing everytime you feel slighted doesn't send out the same chilling message to the entire industry in DC as suing some alt-weekly writer and lying and hamhawing about it the entire way. Snyder and his lawyer cronies haven't keep their stories straight from the start.
I'm almost about to cancel my Post subscription over running that piece of shit's lie ERRR op-ed in the paper.

Breaking news:
The City Paper is now also reporting that Snyder helped Barry Soroto forge his long form birht certificate.

Did you think they wouldn't be?
As much as fans are up in arms about Dan and the overall shittacular decade of football, there are thousands and thousands, if not millions, of fans willing to buy up those tickets that people are now starting to sell for cheap. Fortunately or unfortunately, the Skins have a die hard fan base. While they may fluctuate for the Wizards and the Capitals, they just never will for the Redskins. 75+ years of tradition just trumps any sort of anger over an owner's 11 year tenure? Turn on any sports talk radio station in the area, they talk about the Skins 80 to 85% of the time. DC is a football town. If the Caps won 3 Cups in 5 years, it wouldn't be better than the Skins winning 1 Lombardi trophy. At least, that's my opinion and how I see it.
Long story short, people will always go to the games.

No, they won't. They'll watch them on TV, they'll drive the needle on sports talk radio, hell they might even buy a hat or t-shirt every one in a while. But people will not always go to the games like lemmings. It's just too god damn expensive and the in-stadium product is just not worth it. Unless you love getting blackout drunk and acting like an asshole.

As much as I love going to Nats game, the main draw for me is exactly that. Drinking a shit load, yelling at New York/Philadelphia teams, and eating awful food.
You're not going to have a 90,000+ stadium not be 80% full because the team is awful. Redskins fans are faithful, if not the most faithful. I watched games on TV last year, i watched them all. I went to see them get their stupid assholes handed to them by the Steelers on MNF while a good half of the stadium were Shittsburgh fans. It's about pride. DC refuses to admit it's wrong hahahaha Now, 20 years? Then we might see the Skins fall off. So, what, 9 more years to go? Ovi's still here for another 9 or 10 right? Bryce Harper will only be 27 right? John Wall will be a crafty veteran? We'll see!

I don't think you can ever "act" like a drunk asshole. It's like.... eating because you're "acting" hungry.
If you're doing it right, it always leads down that road.
-
all i know is that there are assholes . . . and then there are people who get very drunk to become assholes. at sporting events, they are just assholes.
-
Ah! I agree with that. I like the loud, drunken, comradery. I have been the asshole though [throwing fries at Steelers fans; Throwing a 'terrible towel' in the trash can after ashing my cigarette on it and putting my cigarette out on it] but on the other hand, that same shit would happen in other cities. Especially if MY team was stomping their teams ass in their house and our fans were being obnoxious as hell.
I hate PA.

Not quite. Add fuel to those assholes and they become drunken assholes2.

My favorite part of the story is that his credit card was declined.
that is indeed a good part, but i'm loving his statement:
"I didn't touch her," Haynesworth responded, according to the document, adding that he doesn't "even like black girls."
excellent PR move there, sir.

Haynesworth is also currently facing charges in Virginia for allegedly punching a man during a road-rage assault. That trial is scheduled for May. At one point last summer, he was also involved in lawsuits from a bank, an exotic dancer, a man injured in an automobile accident and complaints from his ex-wife that he wasn't paying for her health insurance or their children's bills.
WINNING!!!

This is too much. Casting themselves as David to the City Paper's Goliath. I love it.
In other Redskins news, I thought they made sound decisions in the first round yesterday.

There is no other reason to explain the non-football decisions coming out of Ashburn than sheer insanity. Also gotta love this nugget from Wyillie on Wednesday:
Wyllie: Ladies in this audience, some day your husband will stand up for your honor.
Go fuck yourself, cunt.
-
I'd enjoy seeing what Wylie could come up with if he did some freelance work for Gadhaffi
'no one loves freedom more than muhammar but i bet some people here have teenage children and sometimes they rebel against you but you know you're right and you have their best interests in mind and they're going through a phase and its all part of growing up and i think that's what muhammar is going through right now with his 'children' . . .and when other countries interfere, well that's like your mother in law telling you how to raise your children and i think we all want our mothers in law to shut the f*ck up'

Very happy to see Orakpo getting some help on the Dline! Very excited to see how him and Kerrigan work out. That guy is a fucking MONSTER! He's a good 5 inches taller than Chris Cooley and maybe twice as wide hahaha

Not to nit-pick, but Orakpo play OLB, and so will this guy.
-
From what I've heard and read it looks like they'll both be on the field, possibly Kerrigan more because he's a 3 down guy. No reason they can't switch out on plays or both be on the field at the same time
-

Of course they will both be on the field at the same time. OLB as in outside linebacker...as in one on the right and one on the left.
-
Depending on the call, I wasn't a huge fan of moving Rak to OLB from the DE. All season he was burned when he had to drop back in coverage, but I guess it's all part of the transition. Heard an awful nickname for the 2 already 'Kerracko"
Argh.
-
de's in a 3-4 dont really rush the passer though. he's a 3-4 olb all the way
-
This is the most thought I've given to the on-field product in a long time.
I'm so over the skins.
