Skinsinparadise Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 (edited) An era of humiliation is over. Text your buddy who is a Commanders fan and congratulate him or her. Find one on social media and share in the good vibes. It's finally safe for them to come back, because Snyder has agreed in principle to sell the team. NFL football in Washington was reborn on Thursday. That's worth celebrating. Daniel Snyder drove fans away There have been bad owners in all sports through the years, but the Snyder experience was unique. The endless PR fiascos would have been at least somewhat bearable if the Commanders were winning. But under Snyder's watch they lost and lost and lost again. Snyder bought the team in 1999. From the end of that season through last season, Washington won one playoff game. The Commanders didn't win any playoff games in Snyder's final 17 seasons. Then the bloopers became more sinister, whether it was sexual misconduct allegations or not returning season ticket deposits. The long fight over the team's old nickname didn't help either. Fans who rooted for the team through the glory years of Joe Theismann, Doug Williams and Mark Rypien just gave up. Decades of history and memories of attending games with friends or family were not enough to keep them around. If you know a Commanders fan, it's likely you listened to them renounce their fandom. If you don't know a Commanders fan, you could have looked at their many empty seats for home games and gotten that message. Nobody blamed them. It became a chore to root for Snyder's franchise. Fans who would happily tell the stories about how old RFK Stadium shook for Cowboys games had to walk away until an ownership change was made. Given how important football is to the fabric of many of our lives, it was a tough step. It just had to be done. On Thursday, Commanders fans could finally feel it was OK to root for their favorite team again. That sentence alone tells you how bad Snyder was as an owner. Washington starts a long road back NFL team owners couldn't have been happy that one of their cornerstone franchises fell into such decay. Even if you take the cynical view that their main focus was on all those empty seats at FedEx Field costing them money — the money that Snyder was declaring, anyway — it was startling. Some teams have season ticket waiting lists, and Washington used to be one of those teams. They reached a point a few years ago in which that list had no names left on it. If you wanted season tickets all you had to do was call. Washington's NFL franchise had a ton of history, a prime piece of real estate and one of the best fanbases in the league. And it became an absolute embarrassment under Snyder. Fans don't just quit rooting for their teams. But it happened for many Commanders fans. In 2022, Washington's attendance was 85.9% of capacity. No other team was lower than 92.7%. You might think that you have it bad because your favorite baseball team's owner won't spend money or you hate rooting for an NBA team whose owner can't do anything right, but it's nothing like what Commanders fans endured the past couple decades. Fans started boycotting the team, and rightfully so. Getting all those Commanders fans back won't be as easy as the NFL approving the sale to Josh Harris' group. There's work to be done after years of horrendous play on the field and even worse behavior off it. A new stadium is an absolute must, and maybe a more personable owner can help get that done. But Commanders fans can finally be proud to represent their team again. They might even buy some of the new merchandise, because they probably gave up on the team before the rebrand in 2022. Thursday is a milestone for many Commanders fans of all ages. Welcome back to rooting for your favorite team.

88Comrade2000 Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 I expect the sale won’t be approved until the owners meetings on May 22. Probably, the first item on the agenda. Jason better freshen up his resume, he’s first one gone. Then Ron will be told he’s stripped of Gm duties and he will be evaluated during the season to see if he remains as coach. Those gms are probably let go in the summer. The permanent new Gm, likely not hired until January. This draft will be the last Snyder draft. If the new owners are smart, they get rid of Dan’s hires as feasibly possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably gonna be tuff to go right in with a chainsaw and start chopping the management team up. All of the work for the draft and FA is already done though so who knows? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
