As a lifelong Washington fan, I legitimately gave up my fan card the final 2-ish years of his reign. There wasn’t a person in professional sports that I loathed as much as him and I couldn’t bring myself to spend a single fraction of my time or money on that punchable dweeb any longer. He slowly managed to suck all of the fun, value, and success out of such a historically dominant and respected franchise. The day he finally got forced out was the single greatest moment in the franchises history. It’s good to finally be back.
Let me tell you... that crowd at FedEx now is crazy. We have our city back, the culture feels Very different. I had the best fan experience in my entire life so far... insane! The team itself may take time to get back to greatness, but the fans will be here now. No Snyder, no problem 👌
@@The_Crimson_Wolf_ That’s awesome. I moved out of the DMV a while back but I look forward to going to a game now. Also genuinely can’t wait till we get an updated stadium.. I realize DC isn’t a likely location since we lost the old RFK spot and moved to the concrete shitbox in Landover (another genius Snyder move) but man.. what I wouldn’t give to experience a game there.
@@thugger-vandross oh Yeah, I hope we demolish this trashcan FedEx and get a real stadium... but other than that and hopefully improving our offensive line/offensive play, I couldn't ask for more. The crowd was electric when we made big plays, packed stadium. We will be back without this devil.
Remember Russell Wilson was taken in the third round of the same draft as those two, but he was drafted by a better team and Wilson also knew how to avoid the hit unlike the others
I agree, one team improperly managed their qb and the surrounding team which ultimately caused their promising careers to be cut short by injury, while the other team did the….um….well they’re a whole different team you see, different city and so just very different ya know
that's a fantastic comparison..... two little weasels who have massive self esteem issues so as a result they attempt to degrade & demean people in their sphere of influence who are timid or struggling.....
That RG3 injury hurts my soul as a fan to this day. We couldn't even get two seasons. I can only imagine how his career would've been different if he was drafted to the Eagles or any other competent organization. Dan was a menace.
I had a good friend on the Skins medical staff during the RG3 debacle. He said it was RG3s' ego and his relationship with Snyder that ultimately ended his career. RG3 went around Shanahan and the medical staff to play when he should not have been. This is indirectly Snyders' fault too.
Valid point, but RG3 was also a very gifted trainwreck. He just didn't know the meaning of "avoid the hit and live to see another day", although coaching has to take some of the blame there Edit: I didn't see that other comment, he knows better than me, but there you go
@@pretorious700I’m not a ‘skins fan and college football is wayyy better than the NFL but even I can see through that complete and utter bull$hit. Rg3 is one of the most down to earth people that has ever been the face of college football for a season. An extremely friendly, humble, classy, and intelligent human being. Was class president in high school and made the Dean’s list twice in college but would potentially sacrifice his future playing when others didn’t want him out there? Tell your friend to settle down on the gonja.
Sure, but your BOD could still completley screw things up either due to mass shareholder incompetence or their own will that could cause long-term harm no matter how quickly they are replaced. Additionally, if the league ever sees a need or want to move the team or replace certain aspects of the Packers, they will. WIthout a care for the vanity project/shares that are Packers ownership.
I had an old friend whose cousin was a practice squad player for Washington back in 2013 before being waived. I got to meet him once and asked what it was like playing for them. He said the only thing that was worse than being cut was having to play for Dan Snyder.
I agree. He is the worst owner. What would you expect from this Ashkenazi Khazar? They are garbage human beings, evil. Let him bathe in his filthy money. When his life on earth ends, the fires of Hell are waiting for him.
Calm down dylan. I imagine theres plenty of other pro sport franchise owners who have done worse. We just havent found out about it. Just assume they all do something a lil shady
I feel like 20 years of rooting for this team was wasted. I truly am disgusted, depressed when I think back on all those years. The lesson I got was dont feel bad about cutting off toxicity from whatever source it may be. Life is too short. Also new beginnings are possible. I am so glad a new owner has taken over.
No, don't let get any more than what was unnecessarily placed upon you and any lifelong fan, cuz ya'll deserve a better owner than that demented heartless/soulless b**turd. I hope and pray that this team will have a better and grandeur success.
Also not to be snarky but maybe if sports cause you genuine depression and disgust invest less emotional energy into it. There are many things worth a lot more than what at the end of the day is just a corporation whose business is a game. It’s fun to be a fan I’m sure and it’s fun to watch wins and disappointing to see losses but if it’s to the point of being depressed over strangers who are corporate employees it’s likely unhealthy
Of course it pays to be evil look at the rich politicians who don’t care about anybody but themselves plus all the CEO’s who get paid millions for doing a terrible job and being horrible people
He owned 6 flags for years before it was delisted on the stock market, they filed bankruptcy and the debtors took 92% of six flags ownership from Snyder and immediately fired him.
Damn.. I almost wiped that RG3 era out of my mind. I'm not even a WSH fan and that shit hurt me.. can't imagine how they felt hearing that he was done for that season
It is going to be a long time to see how the fans will eventually return to consistent sellouts. But Dan Snyder not only dug a large hole, it was so deep that there was so much more to publish several volumes--let alone just a single documentary. This series of clips covered it well, especially since the 2020 allegations first came to light.
Even as a die hard Eagles fan it’s disgusting how Snyder ruined this once proud franchise! I’m not really a fan of the new nickname but I’m glad they got new ownership!
Appreciate that bro. It feels like Eagles have been a model of consistency the last 20 years. And you’re right the new name is fvckin trash, hopefully we change it
@@Todogames-sm5hm and I’d like people not to think they have the right to approve racial slurs directed at groups they’re not a part of. Can’t always get what you want.
@@MrRyan-wu4jxhey genius, only white boys like you actually give AF about the name. Native Americans don't care. I live 20 miles from a reservation in Wyoming and I have had native friends and family my whole life and most of them were redskins fans *Because* of the name. They liked they had representation in the NFL and were mad when it got changed to some white boy ish like the "commanders" . Also You're telling people not to speak for natives while you do it yourself, hypocrite.
Thank you for making this documentary. Gives some good insight into what was happening, a real shame. It’s definitely a Painful life as a Washington fan
@Gas_Station_Tampons just meant new management and as of recently, firing Ron Rivera. Personally never was a fan of the rebrand or what they even decided on. I thought they should have let the fans vote
@@Gas_Station_Tampons Am I wrong or was there never much resistance by the natives on this issue? Maybe I'm wrong here and there were a lot of outspoken natives that resisted against the re-brand, but I really recall only silence. I find it ironic that the majority of natives wanted the name to stay due to representation but white outrage was more important.
I'm a native Pittsburgher and Steelers fan. It was always fascinating watching as an outsider Danny Boy's fall. There was so much optimism in 1999, utterly shattered, burnt, and salted in a decade. Then, toss on ANOTHER 14 years. Oof. At least the Evil One is gone, Washington fans.
Didn’t Myron Cope label Daniel Snyder “boy billionaire” when the Steelers beat the Redskins in the last game ever played at Three Rivers Stadium in December 2000?
The one thing I gathered from this is that Roger Goodell will literally let anything slide and not fire anyone if they’re tenured long enough . The fact that Snyder was able to sell the team for 6 BILLION dollars are being investigated by Congress of all things where he essentially evaded questioning is insane to me … an NFL member whether it be player , coach or owner is the ideal profession bc where are the consequences ?? Whew …
I always found it funny that the Nationals got so much flack for resting Stephen Strasburg a year after his Tommy John surgery. Meanwhile the Redskins threw RG3 out there without fully recovering from an injury. Both of these franchises had generational talents. One of them got shit for protecting their talent. The other got shit for putting their talent at risk of sever injury. One of them one a championship and one of them is still a joke.
As a lifelong fan of over 40 years, it was a painful time with Snyder at the helm. I could never bring myself to stop being a fan so I suffered through for a couple decades, but I have to say the day that little Danny boy was officially out was a great day for us. Now we have hope again, and hope is a wonderful thing indeed.
I grew up in the DMV and was a lifelong fan and supporter of the Redskins. Went to many games at RFK stadium too. Only ever went to one game at Fedex Field and it was so bad that I swore I'd never go back again. Once Snyder took the team over, things went south and stayed that way, with only a few occasional moments of hope, like Joe Gibbs returning. Sadly, by the time Joe returned, the league had changed, especially with free agency. We used to call Snyder "Danny from Bethesda". I even called him that when I called in to the Harden & Weaver radio show once time. All early indications are that the new Harris ownership group is different in bhow they're handling the team and treating the fans. I no longer live in the DMV but have to say that I like the direction the team is heading in and certainly the fact that they're winning helps their cause. Jayden is a rare talent and their team and locker room building is showing serious growth. HTTR!
Great video, thank you. The only recommendation I have is to increase the volume of your commentary voice. There were points in time where my volume was all the way up and I could barely understand what you were saying. Other than that, it was great!
Wow what a comprehensive look at Snyder. My wife is a die hard Commanders fan and watching the pain and suffering inflicted on that fan base is painful to watch. Clearly people in the organization especially the women had the worst nightmare of all. Great video. I've been sending it to a bunch of my friends that are fans of the team.
This is like the history of my sports fan life…. Snyder bought the team right around when I was just old enough to remember. It’s been a tough 30 years
Just remember, Steven Segal put out an album of Jamaican dance hall music that had a song on it called "me want the punani". There really are just horrible things all over this world
Khan of the Jaguars is also a terrible owner. Things finally turned around in 2022. 2 winning season since 2012. Top 5 picks in 8 of 12 drafts as owner with little to show for it. Khan has made terrible decisions regarding GMs and coaches. The current success of the team is in spite of Khan's incompetence.
I have no idea if he was the worst but in my case, I was so frustrated with how the team under Snyder performed that I just gave up on the NFL entirely. No fantasy football, no nothing. I just don't care at all anymore. If anyone would have told the early teenage me that I would never bother to watch NFL games anymore, I would have said they were crazy. I wish the team well but I'm not coming back to watch this team, or any team, ever.
If people are saying Dan Snyder is worse than George Preston Marshall (former Redskins owner who never wanted black players to play for him), then that says a hell of a lot about Dan Snyder.
Actually getting rid of the name Redskins was an insult to Natives. Most of us loved the name, and didnt see a problem with it. It was a tribute to the Natives
Can confirm. The helmet decal was changed from from the letter "R" to the Indian profile in honor of indigenous people. Source: youtube vid of the history of helmets/logo's.
I was doing a job at the National Congress of the American Indian on P st.NW, DC in the mid 2000s. I asked the Native American point of contact what he thought about changing the name of the Redskins.. he said” I think we have more important problems than that.”
Deion Sanders retired after 1 year of 7 year deal and left the NFL for 3 years before coming Baltimore Ravens it’s a miracle Dan Synder let him out of his contract right. But Dion must have knew it wasn’t worth the agony.
Think the same thing could be said about Donald Sterling and his ownership of the LA Clippers ( San Diego, before that) and his behaviors ( racist) and penny pinching, not drafting enough quality players, etc
One thing about all of this, i think it shows just how good of job Ron Rivera has done coaching the team. With all that noise going on with the ownership, the disgusting harassment to the cheerleaders and female employees, the team name and how it was handled, he at least made them respectable. It easily could be a dumpster fire by that time but he didn't let it happen.
I miss my beloved Redskins. All those wonderful times at RFK. The awesome Jack Kent Cook interviews after great wins. I stopped watching NFL 5 years ago. Sundays for me was 9am to midnight NFL. It’s heartbreaking what Snyder did. The NFL is just as bad.
Agreed. And I'm a Giants fan! The ONE good thing Snyder did (at first) was resisting the political correctness and standing fast against the name change. But eventually he cowardly bent the knee to the social justice mob. One black man gets killed while resisting arrest, and all of the sudden we're supposed to change team names, treat "Redskins" like it's a curse word, and put virtue-signaling political messages in end zones? And don't get me started on Jon Gruden. For God's sake there isn't a person posting in this comment section that doesn't have anything he/she has ever said that was insulting or offensive.
@@marcusmonroe7084 If you are offended, sir, that's your choice. Let's put everything you've ever written on a billboard and see if that still holds up.
As much as I hate Washington, this is a great piece. Never imagined I’d spend an hour engrossed in watching anything about this dumpster fire but this is top notch production. Bravo, good sir!
A great accomplishment in the history of RUclips Documentaries. I can only imagine the amount of work that went in to a project of this size. But I do need to give full disclosure and explain that I only knew around 35% of the info. So it will be up to others, to analyze the info and make sure of it's accuracy. I did want to offer some constructive criticism. I watch a lot of true crime shows ans historical documentaries. Many of those deal with rape and murder. I found that your use of certain music and sound effects, mave the program feel a bit over the top. I understand this is a very dire subject but what happens when your next project is about murder or rpe? When you turn the dial to 11, too early. You can only reel things in and now your tone will have a hard time meeting the subject matter. Like I said, nothing personal. I just though I'd throw you an applicable Tip. Cheers from Canada
You did an excellent job with these videos my man. Thank you for all the CORRECT INFORMATION and showing us the Dark Side of the game we all love. Keep up the great work brother.
This is a great video I'm a broncos fan so I really don't give a shit about the nfc east but it does sound like this dan Snyder guy should be put in jail for sexual harassment and it does sound like there's some embezzlement going on to or something similar to it but great video man keep up the good work.
I am a Native American tribal member and my father is an elder. I could have cared less about Washington's old name. In fact I thought the logo was awesome. But I guess it was too much for some people. I think Commanders sounds stupid and the new logo is lame. They could have kept the logo and called them the Warriors. But all this other garbage. The sexual harassment of the cheerleaders and female employees. That is fucking gross. Those women weren't hired to be sex workers. Snider deserved to lose the team. His mismanagement has buried one of the best organizations in the NFL.
A lot of people may agree with you about the name, but you don’t speak for all Native Americans. I don’t have any Native American heritage, but I have had people tell me that were indigenous, that it bothered them.
@@crosstatt7441 Where did I say I speak for all Native Americans? Don't put words in my mouth. I even said it was too much for some people. Now Washington has no Native American representation whatsoever. They didn't even keep the logo a Native American designed. I guess since some easily offended people were enough to throw out the baby with the bathwater. It's really too bad. Like I said in the post you apparently misread or didn't read at all they could have called them the Washington Warriors and kept the logo. But I guess the face of a Native American warrior was just as offensive as the name for some people. Go ask your "native friends" why that is.
@@crosstatt7441 I get that. But after they forced Washington to change their name they tried to make the Chiefs and Braves change their names too. They succeeded in making Cleveland change their baseball team's name. These people didn't ask a single one of the nations how they felt about about any of it. Not one. I belong to the Sault Tribe of Chippewa Indians. They belong to the Iroquois Nation. No one came and asked "How do we improve this?" They just said fuck it. If the Native Americans want to complain I guess we just won't have any Native representation at all.
@@crosstatt7441 the name was chosen in 1933 to honor Native Americans in general and the coach and four players at that time who were Native American; and that in 1971 coach George Allen consulted with the Red Cloud Indian Fund on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation when designing the logo.
Anyone saying Dan Snyder was a worse owner than Hugh Culverhouse or George Preston Marshall is completely ignorant of the history of the sport. One was so cheap that he wasted away his team (plus he had an affair with David Brinkley's wife) and the other was someone who was ADAMANT (caps for effect) that the NFL should never integrate.
Reminded me by way of framing and editing the "Third Reich: The Rise and Fall" documentary. Just incredible stuff nobody is doing this at this caliber.

To be fair, I think Snyder is still in the running, but the guy who decided to call the team the Redskins had to be sued by the league before he decided to desegregate the team. Oops, I meant the Government sued him.
I was a Skins fan all the way back to Mike Nixon(!). After Snyder acquired the team I lasted about 5 years until I had had enough. When he folded on the Redskins name, it was f**k off Danny Boy.
1974! I received a REDSKINS helmet for Christmas. It stayed on my dresser as I got older. I started keeping up with the team,players and a die hard fan. Nobody realized when Snyder bought the team he would tear it apart. Season after season no fan base in sports has dealt with the constant BS Redskin fans have. The Redskin logo was iconic. I never dreamed the name would be changed. NFL owners and Redskin fans wanted Snyder gone. I guess 6 billion is a reward for being so successful. Successful failure.
I am a diehard Cowboys fan and I live in Virginia, which is Redskins territory...I have heard about these stories and it broke my heart for the women who were exploited...as a woman, I am so disgusted...I was happy for my Redskins friends that Snyder was gone...the Cowboys/Redskins rivalry is meh right now...and while I know Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is no saint, he is way better than Snyder but that's all I know...thank you for this documentary....I feel for all of my Redskins friends who have suffered through this
Jerry Jones is secretly Emperor Palpatine. He got to sit back and keep his nose clean until he executes Order 66 and takes over the NFL. Lol In all seriousness as a Washington fan, Dan Snyder was a horrible NFL owner. His actions on the field and off of it has put a black mark on the franchise that won't go away until this team turns around. Glad the POS is gone. Hopefully the new owners treat this franchise better.
I feel sad for RG3. Like 2012 was such a great year for the NFL as a whole and RG3 was one of the most entertaining parts of it (he was pretty much an earlier version of Lamar Jackson) Im not a redskins fan but it sucks to see him given the andrew luck treatment (im not a colts fan either but still)
Epic video. It really highlights just how much Wash fans owe the Wapo. They truly did the Lords work. Btw I noticed at 37:48 you call Bruce Allen “Mitch Gurshman”
@@silverback7675 Look bro, we all watched the same video: No WaPo. No Dan Snyder being forced out. It’s that simple. And lol at someone being more trash than Dan Snyder.
RG3 had the talent to be a star but owner & coach put a QB out on the field when he shouldve been in a hospital and getting the knee better so they have him for next 5 + yrs , but no he was treated like a part if it breaks a new one goes on . Not thinking he had a very special player , so the coach thinking about his wallet put a 1 legged man in a ass kicking match and robbed the NFL & fans of a QB that would have thrilled fans for yrs now all we have is the play where his career really ended. It was over that day not yrs later.
Truth is RG3 was never going to make a good NFL QB once he couldn't run. He was inaccurate from the pocket and couldn't read defenses. That's why Jay didn't want him.
She very easily could've left him & Divorced him for things he's done. Especially the Sexual Harrassment of all of those Cheerleaders....But she must really enjoy that lifestyle and what all his money buys for her.

Even as a die hard Eagles fan it’s disgusting how Snyder ruined this once proud franchise! I’m not really a fan of the new nickname but I’m glad they got new ownership!
Appreciate that bro. It feels like Eagles have been a model of consistency the last 20 years.
And you’re right the new name is fvckin trash, hopefully we change it
I would like to see Commanders go back to Redskins & their Redskin football uniform no matter how many People and Karens complain about it
@@Todogames-sm5hm and I’d like people not to think they have the right to approve racial slurs directed at groups they’re not a part of. Can’t always get what you want.
@@MrRyan-wu4jxyou Native dawg? I wanna see a pic of that card that shows your iota. as a Cherokee and Choctaw, i want that name back.
@@MrRyan-wu4jxhey genius, only white boys like you actually give AF about the name. Native Americans don't care. I live 20 miles from a reservation in Wyoming and I have had native friends and family my whole life and most of them were redskins fans *Because* of the name. They liked they had representation in the NFL and were mad when it got changed to some white boy ish like the "commanders" . Also You're telling people not to speak for natives while you do it yourself, hypocrite.
Thank you for making this documentary. Gives some good insight into what was happening, a real shame. It’s definitely a Painful life as a Washington fan
As a lifelong washington fan I absolutely loved this, Feels good to see our franchise take a step in the right direction
Theres still time 😂. #FLY🦅
@Gas_Station_Tampons just meant new management and as of recently, firing Ron Rivera. Personally never was a fan of the rebrand or what they even decided on. I thought they should have let the fans vote
@@Gas_Station_Tampons Am I wrong or was there never much resistance by the natives on this issue? Maybe I'm wrong here and there were a lot of outspoken natives that resisted against the re-brand, but I really recall only silence. I find it ironic that the majority of natives wanted the name to stay due to representation but white outrage was more important.
I'm a native Pittsburgher and Steelers fan. It was always fascinating watching as an outsider Danny Boy's fall. There was so much optimism in 1999, utterly shattered, burnt, and salted in a decade. Then, toss on ANOTHER 14 years. Oof.
At least the Evil One is gone, Washington fans.
Didn’t Myron Cope label Daniel Snyder “boy billionaire” when the Steelers beat the Redskins in the last game ever played at Three Rivers Stadium in December 2000?
The one thing I gathered from this is that Roger Goodell will literally let anything slide and not fire anyone if they’re tenured long enough . The fact that Snyder was able to sell the team for 6 BILLION dollars are being investigated by Congress of all things where he essentially evaded questioning is insane to me … an NFL member whether it be player , coach or owner is the ideal profession bc where are the consequences ?? Whew …
I always found it funny that the Nationals got so much flack for resting Stephen Strasburg a year after his Tommy John surgery. Meanwhile the Redskins threw RG3 out there without fully recovering from an injury. Both of these franchises had generational talents. One of them got shit for protecting their talent. The other got shit for putting their talent at risk of sever injury. One of them one a championship and one of them is still a joke.
RG3 was no GENERATIONAL TALENT lmao. He could not pass the damn ball healthy or not.
If the dude’s name is Dan and his last name begins with an “S” and rhymes with “Diner,” just avoid him.
Pretty ballsy of Jim “there’s dead hookers in my house” Irsay to be the first one to call for Snyder’s head
As a lifelong fan of over 40 years, it was a painful time with Snyder at the helm. I could never bring myself to stop being a fan so I suffered through for a couple decades, but I have to say the day that little Danny boy was officially out was a great day for us. Now we have hope again, and hope is a wonderful thing indeed.
I bet if Dan Snyder’s teams had won he’d still be the owner. It’s funny how losing can magnify negativity.
Indeed and the margins between failure and success often are very thin🤣🤣
@@angusdog22 That’s how I see it, too.
Santana Moss - The Cowboy Killah
Daniel Snyder - The Redskins Killah
You just keep knocking these videos out of the park!
Thanks for your support!
Dude is an absolute beast with these documentaries 😊
I grew up in the DMV and was a lifelong fan and supporter of the Redskins. Went to many games at RFK stadium too. Only ever went to one game at Fedex Field and it was so bad that I swore I'd never go back again. Once Snyder took the team over, things went south and stayed that way, with only a few occasional moments of hope, like Joe Gibbs returning. Sadly, by the time Joe returned, the league had changed, especially with free agency. We used to call Snyder "Danny from Bethesda". I even called him that when I called in to the Harden & Weaver radio show once time. All early indications are that the new Harris ownership group is different in bhow they're handling the team and treating the fans. I no longer live in the DMV but have to say that I like the direction the team is heading in and certainly the fact that they're winning helps their cause. Jayden is a rare talent and their team and locker room building is showing serious growth. HTTR!
I never had so much disdain for someone I never met
Seriously? As bad as this guy is, it gets MUCH worse than him. Get your head out of the sand.
@@ikigai47do you have any good recs on new people to hate?
@@haveagreatday6952 Hmm, excellent question, excellent indeed. I would start with George Soros then work your way to Fauci.
I like this investigative in depth documentary style nfl videos. Fire fire
Thanks so much!
Y’all are tripping. Snyder got the last laugh. How would you spend $6 BILLION?!?! There is way too much injustice in this world.
Bought it for 800 m left with 6 bill
Great video, thank you. The only recommendation I have is to increase the volume of your commentary voice. There were points in time where my volume was all the way up and I could barely understand what you were saying. Other than that, it was great!
Wow what a comprehensive look at Snyder. My wife is a die hard Commanders fan and watching the pain and suffering inflicted on that fan base is painful to watch. Clearly people in the organization especially the women had the worst nightmare of all. Great video. I've been sending it to a bunch of my friends that are fans of the team.
No, the players had the worst nightmare of all. Followed closely by the fans
@@jasongibbs3713well..... unless its a fan that got sh*t on (literally) by the stadium 😂.
mudslinging at its very best
This is like the history of my sports fan life…. Snyder bought the team right around when I was just old enough to remember. It’s been a tough 30 years
How does this only have 708 likes?! Fantastic work buddy.
I lived in Dc my whole life. I been saying Snyder was nightmare since day 1. I FEEL VINDICATED. thank you for this. Sinister Snyder
Just remember, Steven Segal put out an album of Jamaican dance hall music that had a song on it called "me want the punani". There really are just horrible things all over this world
Call him what you'd like, but at least the man is honest about his desires.
Just wait until the Dallas Cowboys documentary come out one day😩
😂
You need much more attention ! This is a great documentary
Thanks so Much!
Not bad for a one sided story
Never realized just how much it’s been the bucs and Seahawks for most my life
Khan of the Jaguars is also a terrible owner. Things finally turned around in 2022. 2 winning season since 2012. Top 5 picks in 8 of 12 drafts as owner with little to show for it. Khan has made terrible decisions regarding GMs and coaches.
The current success of the team is in spite of Khan's incompetence.
Biggest difference? Trevor Lawrence a franchise qb
Fire video, Im a Diehard skins fan and i cried when he finally sold the team, I hate him with everything in me
Don't you mean diehard Commie fan😏
I’m not a Washington Football Team fan, but I despise Dan Snyder.
Thank you for going after the Devil of my football life, Thank You 🙏
this was a great documentary bro
Appreciate it!
I have no idea if he was the worst but in my case, I was so frustrated with how the team under Snyder performed that I just gave up on the NFL entirely. No fantasy football, no nothing. I just don't care at all anymore. If anyone would have told the early teenage me that I would never bother to watch NFL games anymore, I would have said they were crazy. I wish the team well but I'm not coming back to watch this team, or any team, ever.
RG3 looking like Lil
Nas X back in the day
this makes me appreciate the boring and conservative owners of the new york giants and makes me glad we dont have any cheerleaders
And we still have more rings than them 💪🏾
Excellent work my good man
If people are saying Dan Snyder is worse than George Preston Marshall (former Redskins owner who never wanted black players to play for him), then that says a hell of a lot about Dan Snyder.
I think it says more about people being so incredibly ignorant of history
@@gatienlaurol5793 To me, it’s two different generations.
Amazing doc dude
I don’t hate the wft but now I hate Dan Snyder
I feel like more people need to see this Doc
Actually getting rid of the name Redskins was an insult to Natives. Most of us loved the name, and didnt see a problem with it. It was a tribute to the Natives
Can confirm. The helmet decal was changed from from the letter "R" to the Indian profile in honor of indigenous people.
Source: youtube vid of the history of helmets/logo's.
I was doing a job at the National Congress of the American Indian on P st.NW, DC in the mid 2000s. I asked the Native American point of contact what he thought about changing the name of the Redskins.. he said” I think we have more important problems than that.”
I prefer blackskins myself
A literal slur is a tribute? Man y’all have some mental gymnastics
@@jakevader93 hate is our heritage
Deion Sanders retired after 1 year of 7 year deal and left the NFL for 3 years before coming Baltimore Ravens it’s a miracle Dan Synder let him out of his contract right. But Dion must have knew it wasn’t worth the agony.
Yep rg3 was truly great they ruined him. I followed him through baylor years he was rare really rare
This is phenomenal! Thank you
Think the same thing could be said about Donald Sterling and his ownership of the LA Clippers ( San Diego, before that) and his behaviors ( racist) and penny pinching, not drafting enough quality players, etc
GATT DAMN BEASTMODE POSTED ANOTHA ONE 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯
The worst owner ever and look at them now, don't even seem like Washington has a team anymore and lost their name and everything
One thing about all of this, i think it shows just how good of job Ron Rivera has done coaching the team. With all that noise going on with the ownership, the disgusting harassment to the cheerleaders and female employees, the team name and how it was handled, he at least made them respectable. It easily could be a dumpster fire by that time but he didn't let it happen.
It's funny that he claimed antisemitism when it had nothing to do with his race, and everything to do with him being a terrible person.
Great documentarys my man keep it up
I soured on the NFL years ago but once the team name changed from the Redskins, I was officially done. My favorite team no longer exists
Yeah sealed it for me. Along with the horrible changes to the rules where defensive players can’t even tap a QB
Very well done!
I miss my beloved Redskins. All those wonderful times at RFK. The awesome Jack Kent Cook interviews after great wins. I stopped watching NFL 5 years ago. Sundays for me was 9am to midnight NFL. It’s heartbreaking what Snyder did. The NFL is just as bad.
Agreed. And I'm a Giants fan! The ONE good thing Snyder did (at first) was resisting the political correctness and standing fast against the name change. But eventually he cowardly bent the knee to the social justice mob. One black man gets killed while resisting arrest, and all of the sudden we're supposed to change team names, treat "Redskins" like it's a curse word, and put virtue-signaling political messages in end zones? And don't get me started on Jon Gruden. For God's sake there isn't a person posting in this comment section that doesn't have anything he/she has ever said that was insulting or offensive.

Tiny correction, at 21:51 the “Monday night massacre” was at fedex field. My only NFL game I’ve seen in person. It still hurts a little
As much as I hate Washington, this is a great piece. Never imagined I’d spend an hour engrossed in watching anything about this dumpster fire but this is top notch production. Bravo, good sir!
FC? This ain't soccer nor MMA lol
A great accomplishment in the history of RUclips Documentaries.
I can only imagine the amount of work that went in to a project of this size.
But I do need to give full disclosure and explain that I only knew around 35% of the info. So it will be up to others, to analyze the info and make sure of it's accuracy.
I did want to offer some constructive criticism.
I watch a lot of true crime shows ans historical documentaries. Many of those deal with rape and murder. I found that your use of certain music and sound effects, mave the program feel a bit over the top.
I understand this is a very dire subject but what happens when your next project is about murder or rpe?
When you turn the dial to 11, too early. You can only reel things in and now your tone will have a hard time meeting the subject matter.
Like I said, nothing personal. I just though I'd throw you an applicable

Great doco dude!
This is a great video I'm a broncos fan so I really don't give a shit about the nfc east but it does sound like this dan Snyder guy should be put in jail for sexual harassment and it does sound like there's some embezzlement going on to or something similar to it but great video man keep up the good work.
Thank you.
I am a Native American tribal member and my father is an elder. I could have cared less about Washington's old name. In fact I thought the logo was awesome. But I guess it was too much for some people. I think Commanders sounds stupid and the new logo is lame. They could have kept the logo and called them the Warriors.
But all this other garbage. The sexual harassment of the cheerleaders and female employees. That is fucking gross. Those women weren't hired to be sex workers. Snider deserved to lose the team. His mismanagement has buried one of the best organizations in the NFL.
A lot of people may agree with you about the name, but you don’t speak for all Native Americans. I don’t have any Native American heritage, but I have had people tell me that were indigenous, that it bothered them.
@@crosstatt7441 Where did I say I speak for all Native Americans? Don't put words in my mouth. I even said it was too much for some people. Now Washington has no Native American representation whatsoever. They didn't even keep the logo a Native American designed. I guess since some easily offended people were enough to throw out the baby with the bathwater. It's really too bad. Like I said in the post you apparently misread or didn't read at all they could have called them the Washington Warriors and kept the logo. But I guess the face of a Native American warrior was just as offensive as the name for some people. Go ask your "native friends" why that is.
@@the_sixxness I meant that they were offended by the name, not the logo.
@@crosstatt7441 I get that. But after they forced Washington to change their name they tried to make the Chiefs and Braves change their names too. They succeeded in making Cleveland change their baseball team's name. These people didn't ask a single one of the nations how they felt about about any of it. Not one. I belong to the Sault Tribe of Chippewa Indians. They belong to the Iroquois Nation. No one came and asked "How do we improve this?" They just said fuck it. If the Native Americans want to complain I guess we just won't have any Native representation at all.
@@crosstatt7441 the name was chosen in 1933 to honor Native Americans in general and the coach and four players at that time who were Native American; and that in 1971 coach George Allen consulted with the Red Cloud Indian Fund on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation when designing the logo.
Anyone saying Dan Snyder was a worse owner than Hugh Culverhouse or George Preston Marshall is completely ignorant of the history of the sport. One was so cheap that he wasted away his team (plus he had an affair with David Brinkley's wife) and the other was someone who was ADAMANT (caps for effect) that the NFL should never integrate.
Watching this makes me appreciate being a patriots fan and having an awesome owner in robert kraft who actually takes care of his fans
I'm a Pats fan too, it just sucks seeing them latch on to Mac Jones when he's very clearly not up to snuff in the league 😭😭😭
And happy endings
You might want to take a second look at the Patriots. They seem to have some dirty fingernails as well
Reminded me by way of framing and editing the "Third Reich: The Rise and Fall" documentary. Just incredible stuff nobody is doing this at this caliber.

@@brownie7858The only ppl crying, are the ones who’re complaining about the name.
Well put together
To be fair, I think Snyder is still in the running, but the guy who decided to call the team the Redskins had to be sued by the league before he decided to desegregate the team. Oops, I meant the Government sued him.
I swear you winey little people will never end about the name Redskins. Go cry about something important.
I was a Skins fan all the way back to Mike Nixon(!). After Snyder acquired the team I lasted about 5 years until I had had enough. When he folded on the Redskins name, it was f**k off Danny Boy.
In all fairness, he held onto the name until he basically had no choice.
@@JonRaybon He had a choice, what he didn't have was a pair of balls.
That Sean Taylor "statue" was nothing but an empty uniform & helmet put on a rack!....It wasn't even a mannequin!!
1974! I received a REDSKINS helmet for Christmas. It stayed on my dresser as I got older. I started keeping up with the team,players and a die hard fan. Nobody realized when Snyder bought the team he would tear it apart. Season after season no fan base in sports has dealt with the constant BS Redskin fans have. The Redskin logo was iconic. I never dreamed the name would be changed. NFL owners and Redskin fans wanted Snyder gone. I guess 6 billion is a reward for being so successful. Successful failure.
Goddamn he was a pos. I never knew all of this. Hopefully Arthur Blank is a decent human
Lol can confirm Arthur Blank is NOT a good person 🫠as an ATLien the falcons won’t win anything until he’s gone imo
Do we need a documentary on him too?😂😂
So glad he’s finally gone. The Redskins can finally be a team again.
I am a diehard Cowboys fan and I live in Virginia, which is Redskins territory...I have heard about these stories and it broke my heart for the women who were exploited...as a woman, I am so disgusted...I was happy for my Redskins friends that Snyder was gone...the Cowboys/Redskins rivalry is meh right now...and while I know Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is no saint, he is way better than Snyder but that's all I know...thank you for this documentary....I feel for all of my Redskins friends who have suffered through this
Jerry Jones is secretly Emperor Palpatine. He got to sit back and keep his nose clean until he executes Order 66 and takes over the NFL. Lol
In all seriousness as a Washington fan, Dan Snyder was a horrible NFL owner. His actions on the field and off of it has put a black mark on the franchise that won't go away until this team turns around.
Glad the POS is gone. Hopefully the new owners treat this franchise better.
😂 41:53 the funniest part of this whole documentary. Good one
Man I thought us raider fans had it bad! Wow! I will admit I agree with Snyder, changing the name is ridiculous!
We do have it bad 😐
I feel sad for RG3. Like 2012 was such a great year for the NFL as a whole and RG3 was one of the most entertaining parts of it (he was pretty much an earlier version of Lamar Jackson)
Im not a redskins fan but it sucks to see him given the andrew luck treatment (im not a colts fan either but still)
Epic video. It really highlights just how much Wash fans owe the Wapo. They truly did the Lords work.
Btw I noticed at 37:48 you call Bruce Allen “Mitch Gurshman”

20:50 she said she was down for the inappropriate touch. Glad to see nobody went to jail.
Yeah. The tone of the text didn't seem upsetting to the female. WTF...?!!
RG3 had the talent to be a star but owner & coach put a QB out on the field when he shouldve been in a hospital and getting the knee better so they have him for next 5 + yrs , but no he was treated like a part if it breaks a new one goes on . Not thinking he had a very special player , so the coach thinking about his wallet put a 1 legged man in a ass kicking match and robbed the NFL & fans of a QB that would have thrilled fans for yrs now all we have is the play where his career really ended. It was over that day not yrs later.
Truth is RG3 was never going to make a good NFL QB once he couldn't run. He was inaccurate from the pocket and couldn't read defenses. That's why Jay didn't want him.
Great doc
I want the Redskins name and logo rightfully changed back to its original form. The woke cancel culture BS needs to be fought back against.
Why?
