The Washington National Football League franchise is perhaps the only organization in America that could make Donald Trump\u2019s White House seem like a smoothly running model of efficiency.\u00a0 The club\u2019s savage firing of its General Manager, the subsequent exodus of red chip starters like Pierre Garcon, DeSean Jackson and Chris Baker and the failure to sign star quarterback Kirk Cousins to a long-term contract have brought the franchise to its worst point in decades.\u00a0 But here\u2019s the kicker, folks.<\/p>\n

One of these days, whether you want to or not, you could be paying for all this.<\/p>\n

Daniel M. Snyder, the current majority owner of the Washington franchise, has often been described as the worst<\/a> owner<\/a> in pro<\/a> sports<\/a>.\u00a0 Part of this is because of the team\u2019s woeful performance on the field.\u00a0 Snyder has owned the franchise for 18 years, over which it has compiled a 125-162-1 record, six winning seasons and only two playoff wins after winning three Super Bowls under the prior ownership.\u00a0 The club just posted its first two consecutive winning seasons since 1991-1992 and the owner reacted by annihilating the team\u2019s architect<\/a>.\u00a0 But it\u2019s the franchise\u2019s activities outside of the stadium, characterized by team President Bruce Allen as \u201cwinning off the field<\/a>,\u201d that are truly eye opening.\u00a0 Consider this.<\/p>\n
