A nice gesture by the owner of one of our rivals.

Nice gesture indeed, all about the image of course

Dan Snyder and of course my beloved Jerry Jones are my two favorite owners because as long as they are in charge we have a chance to win the division.

But Snyder's move, regardless of motive, is truly a nice gesture and worthy of praise.
I thought it was funny that...

an "anonymous" donor paid for the funeral, and within an hour the "anonymous" donor was revealed/confirmed to be Dan Snyder, leaked to the press.
No one knows

Dan Snyder and Ted Danson, two peas in a pod

A terrible human being...

who has run roughshod over little people undertakes an act of magnanimity "anonymously" and we're supposed to forget that he's otherwise a terrible human being?
he's still a little dooshbag

Madden and Summerall doing the game.

Camera picks up "Chief Zee" (a black man dressed as a Redskin) in the stands doing his performance.

Good times!

RIP Chief Zee (even though your team sucks!)

To be even more brutally honest he probably had zero to do with it if he even knew about it at all.
It wouldn't surprise me if it was his idea...

narcissists often dabble in this sort of personalized philanthropy. Run roughshod over many with the wider import of your decisions, steamroll a few more with petty acts of cruelty, but convince yourself you're magnanimous because you did something like this.

To be even more brutally honest,mhe couldn't give two shitz about that family. It made the press. Mission accomplished..

The good news, is that the family gets their loved one a very proper burial..
Regardless of the motive it was a nice gesture

And more importantly it is one less thing the family needs to worry about in their time of grief.

RIP Chief
I can’t for the life of me understand why people dress like that as a fan. But I can appreciate being a diehard fan so each his own.

^This. Nice gesture by Snyder. I can understand given his past why people assume his willingness to do this was entirely self serving, but it was a nice thing to do.

Something good happened. End of story.
Good for that

family.
I am actually going to give Snyder the benefit of the doubt ...  
Boy Cord : 7/28/2016 10:32 am : link
... and believe that his 'people' did not leak this information. The information very well could have come from the family and friends. This takes a lot of pressure off of the family and I'm sure they are very grateful.
