pez Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I picked Larry Page, because even if we don't win, the stadium will be a nice environment to come to... ...for those not in the now, Google is known as one of the top (if not the top) places to work for in the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATW22 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Funny story, I actually asked Larry Ellison to buy the Redskins - and he laughed at me. He would turn this franchise around in 2 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskin_fan Posted February 9, 2008 Author Share Posted February 9, 2008 I already live here it's not that great, trust me you want the team to stay where its at, by the way Bill Gates wasn't on the list and he's a smart guy, maybe he should buy the team! What about MARK CUBAN? I intentionally left off Mark Cuban, Warren Buffet (I believe all of his money is going to charity when he dies), Bill Gates, Donald Trump, or Oprah Winfrey. There are other Billionaires I would rather have own the team, but because this team needs a change at ownership....any of the billionaires listed above at this point would be a better choice than our current ownership. The definition of insanity is continuing to do the same thing over and over again that doesn't work. I don't think Snyder is an evil man but I think he's capable of being arrogant and reckless. The product he has put on the field has been sub-par for many years and it's evident that he has created a poor working environment within the Redskins organization. Based on the things I have read about him from multiple sources, I do believe that he treats people with little regard. But regardless of my personal feelings of the man, I just think it's time for a change at ownership. If Dan Snyder truly loved the Redskins, he would sell the team to an owner with great leadership that has the wisdom to allow football professionals run a professional football team.

quettefan Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 How about Paris Hilton as our owner? she'd give most of the players some kind of communicable disease Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD Riggo Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 True story, I met a Wall Street billionaire at a wedding a couple of years ago and I found out he's big into fantasy football. We start talking about the draft for his league and he tells me that it's done by conference call. During the call one of his fellow hedge fund hot shots has a hired a special consultant for the draft and he wants to bring him on the call for the pick. Bill Parcells jumps on the call and gives his pick. Bill freak'n Parcells!!! .. and how did he do that year? 'Lost to the Skins, no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD Riggo Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I would want Richard Branson. He owns Virgin and is worth 7.8 Billion. The guy has charisma and would be a great Owner. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Branson He also happens to be a Brit, so say hello to the London Redskins. Besides, he's the type that would change the name of the team. Probably, the "London Skins-of-no-determinent-color" 's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I voted for the Carnival Cruise guy. Maybe he'd give us fans cruise discounts so we could either go on a Redskins cruise or just get away from it all after a crappy season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsfan12 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Not sure if this was mentioned previously, but there's precedent for the FANS to actually TAKEOVER the ownership of the team. see what liverpool is trying to do Now, the Redskin franchise is worth a truck load, so it's very doubtful that this could ever take root. Forbes lists the Redskin franchise as worth $1.1B (source ), tops in the NFL. To generate that type of revenue, the fanbase would need to arrange for 100,000 fans to contribute $11,000 each (someone check my math). DS would be under no obligation to sell. Not that I endorse this idea :halo: . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskins59 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I would go with Warren Buffett . A good value investor ALWAYS thinks long term. I wouldn't mind Carl Icahn either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revallenjr Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Jim Walton. He definately would not overpay the players, and Redskins Jersey's would be made available all over the Country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinthemboys Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I'll stay with dan. He pisses me off sometimes but thats impossible to avoid. You cant question his love for the skins and I believe that counts for something. The other "fantasy owners" on that list wouldnt give a rats ass about the washington redskins. I like the fact that our owner truly is a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBnotBlades Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Um...I thought Paul Allen already owned the Seattle Seahawks. I'm pretty sure you aren't allowed to own two franchises. I voted for Phil Knight, I can only imagine the freebies you'd get at games. I'm pretty sure that's not true, you just can't own two teams in the same leauge. Abe Pollen used to own the Wizards, Mystics and Caps at the same time before selling off the Caps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redskin_fan Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 I like the Zorn hire but I still want a new owner. Nothing personal or nasty towards Dan. S....I just think it's time for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
