Dan Snyder speaks, simply fails to get IT | DC Pro Sports Report

Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder spoke today. He addressed the media, briefly, at a Redskins Charitable Foundation event.

???I think, number one, I feel bad for the fans,??? Snyder said. ???I feel sorry for the fans. We???re very, very appreciative of our great fan base. And I just feel terrible. We???re disappointed and we???re embarrassed. And we hope to get it going soon.???
Asked how the team???s struggles has impacted him personally, Snyder replied: ???It hurts. I mean, it really hurts. We are really trying very, very hard. Everyone at Redskins Park--the coaches, the players, the organization--quite frankly has held up well. I think we have an opportunity the rest of the season to hopefully get it going.
???But to date we have let everyone down, including ourselves. We know that. We???re just apologetic.??? ???I see disappointment. It???s the same way I feel and I share their frustration. It???s hard. We???re going to try to put it together and get it going.???
The Redskins return from their bye and begin preparations for this Sunday???s game against the Atlanta Falcons at the Georgia Dome. Kickoff is 1 p.m. ET.
???The next step is Sunday,??? Snyder said. ???It???s that simple. We hope we can put together a good performance down in Atlanta and start a winning streak.???

That's all well and good. In reality, it is what it is. Snyder is simply saying the truth, it is a disappointment.

However, Dan Snyder fails to understand that most of the disappointment and embarrassment is directed at him and his management style. Let's not get confused about the current state of anger in Washington, DC. It goes to more than the Washington Redskins 2009 season. It goes to more than a 2-5 record.
