Contra is My Most Vivid Childhood Memory
When it comes to memories of my life that predate my getting hair down there, there’s precious little I recall. I owned a red bike with weird plastic plates over […]
Back in November 2010, in the wake of the Redskins humiliating 28-59 loss to the Eagles in front of a national audience (to go the analogy route, normal football loss : Redskins loss to the Eagles :: Desert Storm : World War II), Dave McKenna of the Washington City Paper published this extremely well-written and thorough list of several of Dan Snyder’s more unscrupulous dealings. Because newspapers are as archaic as penning your words on woolly mammoth hides in triceratops blood, the article went largely unnoticed and that was the end of things. That is, until Dan Snyder decided to file a defamation lawsuit against McKenna’s employers and call for McKenna’s firing. Now the article has more hits than Chocolate Rain and Dan Snyder couldn’t look like a bigger piece of scum if he had designs on making a coat out of 101 dalmatian puppies.
Dan, let me preface my comments by getting this out of the way: I hate you. I feel you’re snakebitten and the Redskins won’t win again until you’re as distant a memory as those maps that depict sea serpents living in the ocean. With that said, let me give you some advice: Drop the lawsuit. Now. No one had read this stupid article until you made a huge deal about it. It’s like the prom queen hearing there are rumors circulating about the school that she sucked off the captain of the chess team, so she bursts into the office, commandeers the PA system and loudly proclaims to the entire student body that she did no such thing. That doesn’t solve anything. Instead, it only serves to alert a far greater audience and lend credence to the accusations. (How do I know this? Because I was that prom queen. But that’s another story for another day.)
As for the drawing, there’s nothing anti-semitic about it it. It’s the same doodle I made of countless teachers as I sat through their classes, though I tended to add titanic genitals and/or lactating nipples, so you got off pretty easy. No one cares that you’re Jewish. Hell, I pride myself as quite the eagle eye on picking out peoples’ ethnicity based upon their last name, and even I thought you were just a dumpy little Kraut. So relax, Dan. We hate you because you’re a greedy prick, not because you’re a greedy Jewish prick. If anything, you fail to live up to the stereotypes. Aren’t Jews supposed to run the world? You can’t even run a football team.

Actually, the article made the rounds pretty heavily in my Facebook circle, and we aren’t exactly lightweights. (One of us is poised for Jr. management at a Midas location to be named at a later date.)
I hope he goes through with the lawsuit just to blow all those legal fees and have to sell the team. He should also hire Alfred Haynesworth as his legal team.
