Now DC can sell it to Commanders. They won’t sell it to them. Probably lease with taxpayer funded money for a new stadium. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Funny how as soon as Snyder kicks rocks, D.C. starts welcoming us back in. Get it done Harris. Bring the team back where it belongs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayouBrave86 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 They really had no choice after Ted made them look like clowns and called their bluff. And Ted sucks too, but DC politicians played with fire and got burned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snyder was literally robbing him and getting funny with the books. Also, the debt Snyder took on to purchase all the minority shares was the poison pill that ultimately doomed him and made him cash poor on a larger scale. The team making less money hurt him a lot more after he took on all that debt, and interest rates were only going up so new future debt wasn’t his friend anymore. Nothing ever forced him to sell, not congress and not the other owners—his finances were a problem. The owners let him sign his own death warrant with all that extra debt, they gave him a waiver to buy all those minority shares. In the end it choked him, and the money was no longer worth he and his wife not being able to step foot in their own stadium without hearing how horrible they were. Sounds more like COVID ultimately lead to Snyder selling, instead of changing the team name... Of course it's actually just chalked up to Snyder's vileness--both personal and professional--finally devouring him.

He didn’t have to go after the team name though. We have courts to settle such disputes. And it didn’t work anyway, he ended up having to sell his shares for way under value. Sure it’s great that Snyder taking on the debt was one of the dominoes that eventually led to his demise, but Fred Smith was looking out for Fred Smith and the rest of us suffered for it. I don’t give him or FedEx any credit for Snyder being gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, because getting rid of Snyder and getting where we are today was such a miracle, by the rules of the Butterfly Effect I wouldn’t change a single thing about how things went down with Fred Smith and the name change. The old name can suck it, Smith getting screwed on the worth of his shares, he can suck it too…all in the context of getting rid of Snyder, it’s a price I would gladly pay even if it was 1% of the reason (and I think it was a lot more). I’d rather be without Snyder than with the old name, period. And seeing how it all turned out, I wouldn’t risk it happening any other way.

We just differ on our feelings about the old name. For me the new name can suck it, because it was handpicked by Snyder. The old name was going away anyway, but I wish that would’ve happened after Snyder was gone so we could’ve had a legitimate renaming process. Could not agree more with your last two sentences. Snyder being gone is the most important thing, so no regrets. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
