| NFL owner Dan Snyder made some rare in-season remarks about the Redskins Tuesday at a charity event. |
Dan Snyder says his Washington Redskins have "let everyone down." according to an report this afternoon from the AP.
In a rare in-season talk with reporters, who caught up to Snyder in the parking lot following his remarks at a charity event about the Redskins, the owner said the organization is embarrassed by its 2-5 start and hopes to turn things around soon.
Snyder has been the subject of much ire from some fans. Signs critical of the owner have been confiscated at recent home games as part of the team's new crackdown on all signs and banners at FedEx Field.
Regarding the fans, he said: "We've let everyone down, including ourselves, and we know that and we're just apologetic."
When asked a question about the two other issues surrounding the fans — the suing of some fans who couldn't pay for season tickets and about the recently enforced stadium sign ban — Snyder deflected the question then left.
The story has made its way around the Web and it no doubt it will be a headline graber... more to come on CSN, ESPN 980AM, 106.7FM THE FAN DC , WTOP, WUSA, WRC, WJLA, WTTG and of course right here in The Examiner.
