WUSA had this report on how Commanders Players feel about working conditions.
Rick Snider, veteran Redskin/Commander reporter, had this in response.
This seems like the Dan Snyder effect. Everybody is piling on Snyder. Knowing there is new money coming in as a result of Snyder's implosion, the NFLPA probably thinks they can use Snyder's misfortune and bad reputation to leverage the new owner into making improvements.
Which may be not altogether a bad thing but . . . it is a little like buzzard behavior.
Most people agree the field at Fed-Ex is abominable. It seems the League in general has a problem with field maintenance. Even the Super Bowl was not spared that indignity. Poor fields lead to injuries. Yet I didn't see the field listed. Maybe it was in the actual report.
To give dietary a D- is a bit much. Especially considering the DMV, which includes Baltimore and Washington, has a disgraceful amount of homelessness and hunger. If the food be not to the team's liking, perhaps the homeless can be invited in. To avoid waste. Or are we saying let them eat cake?
Not to mention every player should consider hiring a personal nutritionist on their own dime. Personal trainers and football tutors as well. As part of fine tuning their craft. What you do on your own says a lot about how serious you are about football.
Let's face it. The food is not hardtack.
Remember that scene in Lord of the Rings? One of the Orcs complains about the food. How they haven't had any meat in a long time? Like Snyder and his money. He hadn't had a lot of cash in a long time so he thinks he needs 55 million? So he demands indemnification.
Look's like Snyder's back on the menu, boys!
Let's keep billionaire Snyder in the Snyder box and lay off the working folk. It ill-becomes a union to cold cock them.
Wonder what they do with the food they don't eat?
