Dan T. Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Washington Post blogger Dan Steinberg wrote a piece after the Tampa Bay game chronicling fan discontent in the form of T-shirts worn during the game. As part of that column he posted photos he took of some of those t-shirts. Well, in the continuing blood feud between the Skins and the Post, the Washington Redskins made Steinberg take the photos down, saying that he was in violation of his press credentials for taking the photos himself. The City Paper caught wind of it and posted here: http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/citydesk/2009/10/06/cheap-seats-daily-would-dan-snyder-censor-dan-steinbergs-photos-of-censored-bags/ Then confirmed it and posted this (after the stuff about the cheerleaders): http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/citydesk/2009/10/07/cheap-seats-daily-how-bad-is-dan-snyder-pimping-the-redskins-cheerleaders/ Dave McKenna is a one-man pain-in-the-ass to the Redskins, and often to ES. But sometimes the muckraker turns up some juicy details in the ongoing feud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boing Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 easy way around all that would be for Steinberg and the WP to allow fans to upload their own photos to the story. It would be user-generated content and not WP content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan T. Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 It seems to be a very shortsighted move. That blog post would have faded away had they simply left it alone. Instead it becomes yet another PR hit. And why antagonize Steinberg. He's been somewhat fair to the Skins in his columns. Human nature being what it is, why would he give Snyder or the Redskins front office the benefit of the doubt now, after being strong-armed like this? It's clear the Redskins are waaay beyond cultivating any good will with anyone associated with the Post. And the Post is now rivaling the City Paper in digging at the Redskins. And there's no end in sight. New reporters come on, and they quickly become targets of the Redskins wrath. This thing will outlast the Hatfields and McCoys.

bubba9497 Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Don't put much faith in the WCP they have an agenda and even when they have a nugget of the truth, their agenda stretches that nugget so far it doesn't even resemble the true anymore. this is the same media outlet that has posted article about Snyder "pimping" the cheerleaders, and making allusions that Snyder has been up to some hankie pankie with the cheerleaders. Cheap Seats Daily: How Bad Is Dan Snyder Pimping the Redskins Cheerleaders? T&A in His DNA Dan Snyder's obsession with cheerleaders ironically they posted this image for each article also this from another WCP article Cheap Seats Daily: Will Sherm Lewis Fail? Or Will Sherman Lewis Fail? That’s the shot that got The Great Dan Steinberg so lathered up he rudely barged into the comments section to pooh-pooh our Snyder/T&A expose. TGDS basically accused Cheap Seats Daily of hypocrisy and of being as exploitative as Dan Snyder! hmmmmm the same guy that they accused Snyder of bulling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingGibbs Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Why do people give Snyder such a hard time? He is the greatest owner in sports. All the "haters" need to go find another team because Jason Campbell has turned the corner, the team is stacked with talent, the offense is about to go on a tear because Sherman Lewis is the master mind behind the WCO and we are now going to score 30 points a game and this team is about to go on a roll. Sarcasm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 So..... Snyder censors photographs of a Post blogger.... so he can make a thread about it (in the guise of Dan T.) to prove he isn't censoring anyone on Extremeskins!

Destino Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 UnWise Mike said on his radio show that he was asked not to attend a charity event because the Redskins didn't want anyone from the Post at the event that one or more of their players were going to attend. A charity event Dan? REALLY?! It wasn't a Redskins charity either, UnWise Mike was independently invited. Now we get this petty crap from The Dan. Snyder declared war on the Post and now he is censoring the fans and the ability of reporters to cover angry fans. Dan Snyder is class A douchebag. I hope he sells the team soon because it's getting harder and harder to support the Redskins as their performance continues to decline and the owner continues to make headlines. I am not a fan of Dan Snyder and the more this ******* becomes the center of attention for this franchise the more annoying it becomes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
