The owner, Daniel Snyder, is widely reviled in Washington, and for good reason. He meddles, bullies, and trusts his own football judgment too much. John Kent Cooke, who ran the team before Snyder purchased it about a decade ago, remarked recently that Snyder had “destroyed the franchise.” Fans did not generally receive this comment as hyperbole. The issue is not the team’s performance on the field, dismal as that is. It is the culture created by the owner—one of greed, expediency, and mean-spiritedness. The general atmosphere around the team suggests Zimbabwe—a failed state, an intractable dictator, and an impotent and suffering populace.
Snyder hearts the skins playing like an expansion team. He’d rather lose with yes men than win with a GM and head coach who won’t kiss his ass
“a failed state, an intractable dictator, and an impotent and suffering populace”
Republican paradise.

Either that or Raider Nation.
Oh come now. You beat the Rams. Imagine our pain.
