The Redskins currently being in a slump, and with outrage toward the owner never being higher, I thought back to the days of the Cooke family. Then<span style=”font-style: italic;”><span style=”font-style: italic;”> </span></span>I thought “What ever happened to them?”<br/><br/>Admittedly, I was not a huge fan of the team growing up. It was an Eagles household, and I was just a kid… I didn’t really have the means to nurture a love for them team; no car or money to go to games, no friends who cared, no TV to watch them… So sadly, I’ve only really known the Snyder era.<br/><br/>So what did happen with the Cooke family? <a href=”http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/10/20/AR2009102003616.html?sid=ST2009102003818″ target=”_blank”>Read</a>. Yep, Snyder has always been an ass.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, what can be done? The team is a business, and Snyder, a good businessman, is making a metric ton of money each year he owns them. Not even factoring profits, the franchise has increase in value by $80 million a year since he became owner. That’s good beans.<br/><br/>We’ve all heard the reports of people getting escorted out of the stadium for wearing their feelings on their shirts… It’s absolutely ridiculous. <a href=”http://fire-snyder-sign.blogspot.com/” target=”_blank”>This is what they’re trying next</a>. No way it’ll work, but I applaud them for their efforts.<br/><br/>Snyder, please go away. I was looking for rankings of all owners across professional sports, but had no luck. <a href=”http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/teamrankings” target=”_blank”>I stumbled upon this</a>, which I don’t think is all that accurate, but still interesting.
