Both wildly successful people. Angelos a tremendous philanthropist. As owner, last few years have shown it can work with right people underneath.

 

Primary issues imo are that he wants to win, but wants to win his way. He's also often so focused on the law practice that it's hard to get immediate answers back to his O's staff... and no matter what, he's always so deliberate. (Which has some positives, but also many negatives.)

 

It's Pete for me.

I loathe Dan Snyder. Angelos isn't a good owner, but he's a good man. Give me Pete any day.

Luckily, I'm a Skins and O's fan so I get them both. I don't have to choose.

The Redskins are far worse in fan experience than the O's are. Snyder charged to attend training camp. Want to say Ive heard you have to pay to use the in stadium WiFi. And recently they started a $50 fee to leave a ticket at will call.

Probably a dozen other things I cant even think of.

Im not a fan of Angelos sticking it to the walk up crowd and charging $3 extra the day of. But $50 to leave a ticket for buddy. That is certifiably insane.

PA has redeeming qualities.  

 

Does Snyder?  (I don't know the answer...)

Angelos. Even if Snyder would spend more money (which is what I Believe Rob must think,) he would spend it badly and we'd just be an expensive bad team.

The countless stories I've heard working in the DC area of the way Snyder treats low and mid level employees is just crazy. He seems like a truly horrible person.

The walk-up fees are annoying but I see the point -- to encourage you to buy your tickets ahead of time.

 

I could be wrong here but I think lots of teams do this and you also got market pricing as well.

Angelos rubs salt in your wounds while thinking he's doing you a favor. Snyder rubs shit in your wounds and clearly doesn't give a fuck.

 

Pass the salt, please.
