This guy pretty much sums it up.

Thirty years of Wizards misery has built up years worth of valid criticism, duly earned. Leonsis should spend more time fixing his team than getting into playground shin-kicking contests with sports writers who, unlike Leonsis, are at least doing their jobs. Leonsis, it is now quite obvious, is too concerned with perception, marketing, gloss and sheen, and not concerned enough about putting good management and players in place. I had hoped the change in ownership would be a breath of fresh air for the Wiz: new owner, new management, new outlook. Instead, nothing has changed, except that we have traded Old Man Pollin for Ronald McDonald, relentlessly marketing and stuffing his bunk product down our throats. Honestly Leonsis, turn your team around before playing nanny-nanny-boo-boo with sports beat writers trying to make an honest living.
Um, you sorta did with a word change or two.
He's a nice guy. Have had friends work for him, nothing but good things said with stories to back them up. They also say he is very passionate and cares about the teams and the center.
Maybe he's a fine owner, having the money to support the team, but he just needs to bring in someone better to handle the athletics/team...? Also, (and some of you might relate) when someone is passionate about a team they can lose sight of constructive criticism and go defensive.
I'll agree though it's sort of annoying when folks high up or not, debate through their blog. Perhaps he really thinks he is explaining himself and stands behind what he writes without realizing he is coming across petty or misinformed. (writers & critics can do the same though)
