It’s Actually Happening
I spent the last few months purposefully resisting making any comics about the potential sale of the Washington football team. I was just as hopeful as everyone else that the rumors and reports were true, and that the bastard was actually going to fuck off. Still, after 2 decades of getting away with whatever he wanted, you just kinda get beaten down and expect the worst. Even now, with the sale reportedly over 6 billion dollars that this absolute scum of the earth gets to pocket, it’s hard to feel like a win. But it is. Dan Snyder is selling the team. One of the worst owners in the history of sports is going the fuck back to whatever goblin pit he crawled out of.
I wasn’t even going to make a comic about it as I have much draft work to do (again, expect maybe one comic per week this month), but Snyder has been such a villain here for so long I’ll almost miss him. The sale will not be official for some time, as the owners have to approve the sale, yadda yadda yadda semantics. This feels real though, and the buyer (Josh Harris, owner of the 76ers and NJ Devils) feels like a legit candidate that won’t get denied. By this point it’s clear the other owners want Snyder out. You can fuck with everyone but other billionaires.
When Snyder is officially no longer on the deed, I think I’ll do one final full week of comics to celebrate his demise, and then I’ll never have to make another comic about him again. We may not be able to hurt Dan Snyder’s wallet but don’t let that stop the celebration. If Elon Musk has proved anything with his pathetic attempts to be cool on Twitter, it’s that Billionaires have a hole in their soul that money cannot fill, and they still crave validation. We can send a spike of pain through Snyder’s ego. We can parade and cause him true bitterness as he watches people celebrate his absence. It is the only way we can truly hurt him, until society finally brings back the guillotine.

DING DONG, DAN SNYDER’S GONE! Let the celebrations begin!
Are you going to give one last “Snyder’s Web of QB’s” comic?
I Don’t get the Joke shouldn’t they be happy?
The business sold “Sell the team” merchandise, which is no longer needed.
Since my miserable team might actually be sold now, that means there’s no need for the signs so that store goes out of business. Unless against all fucking odds this changes nothing and the team needs to be sold yet again.
Truly happy to see a miserable owner and person out of the league. Side benefit: the Giants can go back to being the most hateable team in the division! 🙂
Nah that’s still the cowboys by a lot. The giants didn’t do anything wrong.
There are still people who lost money betting in SB 42.
It’s been 15 years. Also I was ecstatic the Giants won because even by that point I found the Patriots absolutely insufferable.
Man I cannot imagine anyone other than Patriots fans being upset about 18-1. That’s one of the greatest things to ever happen to the NFL.
Big time.
Plus Strahan gets to ride into the sunset.
Why was a perfect season being derailed a great thing? Was it because it happened to the Patriots specifically, or would you feel that was for any team? For Pats, I get it. In general though I wouldn’t.
Maybe it varies by who your team is and/or where you live, but to my mind the Eagles are the obvious as the most hateable NFC East team.
The Cowboys can be counted on to blow it in the playoffs, have a couple of games each season they should win that get brainfarted away by McCarthy (and before him Garrett), and you feel a bit bad for some of their players having to be under Jerrah and deal with the inflated hype of being under the Cowboys microscope. But their consistently being picked as a likely SB team most years by a lot of people does get grating.
I think that’s what I’m referring to. For anywhere in the Midwest, New York City teams are by default the most hated in the league as a starting point. Other teams have EARN their way to being more hated than New York teams. Though Philly is usually a pretty close second.
PARTY TIME BOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
I like how you said football team instead of the stupid new name like I’ve been doing since the name thing happened. I’m still a pessimistic fan, so I doubt this will actually go through at the 11th hour, or even believe it’s gonna change anything at all but at least for once there might be a actual chance for a better tomorrow.
side note, if you really wanted to cause us pain you’d be pissed off this might actually happened.
Why a full week? This is the validation you’re giving them
1: lets be honest he wont see them
2: A full week of very mean comics are exactly the kind of thing that clearly makes him mad judging from his response to angry fans over the years
3: It will be very cathartic for those of us who have waited years for the moment
These better be middle school cyber bullying level of mean comics
“If Elon Musk has proved anything with his pathetic attempts to be cool on Twitter, it’s that Billionaires have a hole in their soul that money cannot fill, and they still crave validation”
I thought we sorted that out in 2016
go watch Citizen Kane
They became the Deadskins the moment Snyder bought them. How else would they somehow blew much of their draft shots they got from the Saints? That was probably one of the early signs that things would go wrong under the guy at the time.
To think there were some sports pundits who thinks the Giants screwed up by not trading Strahan for Brad Johnson when the Redskins got him.
That would have been one of the all time robberies by Minnesota.
I know right? This could have given the Vikings a chance to recreate the Purple People Eater.
thats quite the repurposing of an otherwise fucking brutal comic
You said it. It’s hard to feel like a win because he gets richer rather than suffering for his time of incompetence. He can basically go live his life mostly stress free being a scumbag all he wants spending his money and laughing at the NFL because from his perspective he still wins.
If the owner doesn’t change the name (preferably back to football team, but anything is better than commies), they aren’t going to get the fans back.
I wish they’d got back to football team
I don’t think they’ll go back to Redskins, but I think Football Team (or FC just to get soccer fans) would be possible. I still want them to be the Hogs (Joe Gibbs era O-line, great jab at politicians, football is the “pigskin” , etc.)
Yeah I don’t want them to go back to Redskins either, it made it really hard to wear merch in public. But football team was great.
