Dan Snyder: A Legacy of Failure 

Remember that Gibbs helped run a nascar team at the same time of getting Washington into the playoffs while working for Dan Snyder. Man had handled it well.

I met Joe Gibbs when he came to Dover to see his race team perform. I told him I was thrilled to meet him but that I am an Eagles fan. He just shook my hand, smiled, and said “No one is perfect!” Lol. Then we talked for a minute before he left. Great guy.

This recount of my childhood (suprinsingly including 6 Flags) is much appreciated. As a personal note, my sister played a season of rec basketball with Dan Snyder's daughter and in case you were wondering how much of piece of shit he is no he did not show up to a single game.

When the world needed it the most, the Legacy of Failure series makes its triumphant return.

Years ago I worked for a northern Virginia construction company that helped build FedEx Field. After years of the company having a season ticket account, the years of failure kept piling up, and the company decided to cancel their season tickets because no one with an IQ above room temperature wanted to see the on-field clown show. Even for free. This man was so petty about it that he demanded the construction company take the picture of FedEx Field off their website. Sweet cleansing hellfire, what a man-child.

Washington used to be one the absolute best franchises in the NFL before Snyder. Their SB winning teams are considered some of the best in history and he singlehandedly tanked the franchise into being a punchline. You know it's bad when fans actually just stop caring about the team rather than be upset or frustrated that the team is bad.

He will be missed -NFC East fans

Unlike Washington’s culture under Snyder, this video is actually damn good.

Never forget the most infamous quote of the Dan Snyder era… The culture is actually damn good.

As a Washington fan, there is something therapeutic about seeing all of my abuse laid out before me.

“Removed the native and kept the land” was an absolutely killer line goddamn 😂

One of the worst things about modern sports is that people like Snyder, Sterling, and Sarver can be complete scumbags and wreck the reputations of themselves, their teams, and their sports; yet they then get rewarded with billions of dollars once they finally do get forced to sell while making back what they originally invested in their teams several times over.

Fun fact, this is the first true Legacy of Failure (not counting half century) since his Mariners vid, we need to cherish this moment. Couldn’t have happened to a better person.

It really says something that since 2004 the nfc East has been the most competitive division in football not having a repeat winner in almost 20 years yet Dan Snyder has managed not only to fail he has turned one of the most passionate fan bases in the nfl (and I’m an eagles fan) into pure apathy

Dan Synder did the impossible: he made me feel bad for Washington fans. As a Cowboys fan, I never want to feel that way about one of our most hated rivals ever again.

It's been quite a hot minute since we last had a "Legacy of Failure" video. This is gonna be good!

Alex Smiths story is eerily relatable. While working part-time as an acrobat to fund my Olympic training for Tokyo, I rode a collapsing 90ft. tall tower to the asphalt in 2018. There were 40+ broken bones and Ive had 23 major surgeries and many more minor procedures. Watching Alex's recovery while I was going through something very similar helped me grasp the possibility that I might walk properly again one day.

Marty Schottenheimer, you deserved so much better! RIP you legend.

The Six Flags thing was only briefly touched on in the video, but never forget that Snyder himself ended the Mr. Six campaign, one of THE most memorable ad campaigns of the 2000s, because he thought it was pointless.

You also forget, being the first win the Lions got after going 0-16. That should not go unmentioned.

You know it’s bad when even the rivals and every team would celebrate when he left Washington

Dan Snyder took a franchise that was one bad snap away from the NFC Championship game with a future Super Bowl winning QB and immediately blew it up. Cuz he's Dan Snyder.

I miss Sean Taylor so bad. Always had him on my teams in Madden, he was so ludicrously talented.

As a Capitals fan, it was absolutely hilarious seeing Snyder get upset about the Caps success. Yes, it was rumored but still. During his tenure, the Caps, Nats, and Wizards endeared themselves to the DMV, all while Snyder was making the entire area hate him with each passing moment.

I’m shocked that Tree didn’t take the chance to call this Legacy Of Failure the Snyder Cut.

As a Ravens fan and someone who's worked at FedEx Field since the beginning, this video compilation of the Redskins/WFT/Commanders is absolutely perfect. Nailed it!

While the Toronto Maple Leafs video or the Days of our Steelers video may be tree’s magnum opus, this is his most passionate, withering commentary ever. Wonderful storytelling with outstanding sarcasm and irony. He is at his peak here . Great job tree. This video is one of your finest ever. Outstanding work! I have been a fan of yours since 2019 and you have endlessly entertained and regaled me with these great stories for years. Thank you for all that you do.

I thought I knew most of the story about Snyder but holy god a $4 security charge for the rest of the 2001 season after 9/11 is breaking my brain

As a fan of both the NFL and Nickelodeon, I just fucking love how two of the worst things that have ever happened to these respective subjects have similar names. *Dan Snyder* needs no further explanation; his story is told in hilarious detail in this video. *Dan Schneider,* whose Nickelodeon sitcoms such as Drake & Josh, Zoey 101, Victorious and iCarly (my personal favorite) are regarded highly by those who watched Nick back then. But later on, there was a LOT of foot shit (you know what I mean) especially on Dan's later shows. Several abuse allegations and a horrific but great Jennette McCurdy autobio later, he's long been ousted from Nickelodeon. Their names are so similar, and they've done so much heinous shit, that I don't even think it's a coincidence.

I loved " The Football Team" as a name. To me it had such a beautiful amount of spite in it that I think actually worked.

I’m glad that you mentioned Scott McCloughan in this, I feel like he doesn’t get talked about and the way he treated the best GM he had had in decades was downright cruel.

I missed the Legacy of Failure series. I hope that we get a few more episodes of it during the NFL/NHL offseason.

He did something once thought of as impossible 25 years ago. Turn Washington fans apathetic.

I grew up a Skins fan in Tennessee because my grandparents lived in Landover, MD and sent me Skins merch all the time. And they were good (1982-1996). But the combination of the Titans coming to the state (been a PSL holder the whole time), Dan Synder buying the team, and the complete failure of UT QB Heath Shuler made it really easy to focus completely on the Titans. I do wish the new owner well.

hey tree, just wanna say ive been going through a lot of hard times lately and thank you for uploading. Your videos help a ton and i appreciate you. that is all for now.

Possibly the greatest iteration of "Legacy of Failure" yet. Hats off to you, Tree

Famous last words that should be remembered: “You know the culture, is actually Damn good”

I watched this Legacy of Failure on my big screen TV and it was absolutely worthy of it. As a Dolphins fan I'm thankful that the Redskins didn't ruin Jason Taylor before he came back to Miami..

8:29 You can legit make an half hour video on Dan Snyder’s disastrous time at Six Flags. Keeping in mind that Six Flags wasn’t exactly financially healthy around that time; having to close and/or sell many of their parks (most notably Astroworld and Geauga Lake/Worlds of Adventure) to pay off debt.

this man was the owner of my favorite football team as long as I have been alive (I was born on February First, 1999) and it feels that weird he's not going to be the owner and even more fans are super exciteded over the new ownership. Hoping for a good future to my favorite sports team.

As a fan of all D.C. sports teams, I'm surprised this isn't longer lol

The Legacy of Failure hath returned! And unlike team wide Legacies of Failure which can be undone by winning a championship, this one is PERMANENT!

Even as ownership changes, "The culture is actually damn good" will continue to embody this team until they win some damn games.

Mr. Tree, as a lifelong redskins fan. I appreciate this video. Well done as always

Tree, this is one of your most important videos for chronicling the on field & off field abuses this guy did to the DMV Skins fan since '89, but by 2008 I realized it was never going to change under Snyder and I had to switch over to AFC/Ravens bc they were at least fielding a real football team

I recently moved to DC, and I’m so glad people around here can finally root for their team again. There’s hope again.

Hey Tree, appreciate the crash bandicoot and Diddy Kong racing music. It made watching this video on a failure much easier.

The only sad part about him going quietly was there was no word war that spurned between him and the other owners. That would’ve been hilarious

As an Washington fan. The bad man is gone. He can’t hurt us anymore hopefully. Last time we won an playoff game I was like 5

33:15 DON'T ever stop using that soundbyte. You sir, are a true NFL Historian & it would be a dishonor to not used one of the most well placed quotes in NFL history as a re-occuring soundbyte in your intros. Thank you & I bid you farewell, sir tree. 💯

In the category of "Washington Fans Can't Have Nice Things," Mike Shanahan was the modern Jim Lee Howell. (Giants coach whose OC was Vince Lombardi and DC was Tom Landry) On his staff: Kyle Shanahan, Sean McVay, Mike McDaniel, Matt LaFleur

Skins, Football Team, Commanders, whatever the hell our next name will be fans, we have dreamed of this day/video. Our time has come, let us rejoice.

27:57 In reference to the Sean Taylor jersey retirement, don’t forget that was also the situation where Jackson Mahomes danced on the number 21 that was painted on the sideline & roped off.

A reminder when we needed it most that the Legacy of Failure series was actually damn good.

As a Washington Fan, I’m genuinely dead inside with this team. I have called 7-9 a good year we have been so consistently awful

My theory is that the ghost of Sean Taylor kept Dan Snyder from sleeping, making his decisions more and more erratic. Dan tried to appeal to his spirit but lack of sleep made him fail in these attempts.

As a Washington Football fan, this was a well-done retrospective of how shitty the team has been over the last 20 years..

This was one of the longest Legacy of Failure vids I remember seeing and deservedly so. For me the Scott McCloughan episode was one of the most telling about Snyder's mismanagement of the team. While many of Snyder's mistakes involved hiring the wrong front office guy, throwing money at the wrong player or coach, or not paying a good player enough, the firing of Scott McCloughan was a RARE example of Snyder actually hiring the right guy for the job, then absolutely humiliating/brutalizing him because his toxic partner-in-crime Bruce Allen aka: "Mr. Nepotism" was jealous of his success. That episode showed to many that success was never Snyder's main goal, CONTROL was.

I lost it at "Dan Snyder tried to drive a cop car into the Pay and Spray". Seriously though, after all of this, I basically started using Washington as my "Hmm, lemme move this team anywhere up and down the East Coast in Madden" team. The only concession the purple monsters known as the Brooklyn Beats have to history? No one EVER wears number 21.

No fan should ever have to endure ineptitude like this. I'm glad Washington is free from this man. Maybe now the franchise can revive itself and be great again.

As a Washington fan, this is a video I have been waiting for years to see it be made. It was worth the wait

While some of us feel sympathy on fans who’ve been scorned by Tree’s ‘Legacy of Failure’ series, here’s one of those legacies we’re ALL glad is a failure and is over with.

Considering the amount of shit Washington fans have been put through for years I gotta give ‘em props for still being fans

As a lifelong Redskins fan I want to say thank you for making this,

Oh MAN, this is EXACTLY what I needed to see today! I haven't been this excited for a Tree video in FOREVER

As someone who worked for Danny and the team for 3 seasons, 1999-2001, I can honestly say this video is SPOT ON!!

God, THAT Alex Smith saga, he's not an elite QB, but he might be one of the nicest guys in the league in recent memory, he never deserved all of the shit that happened to him

As a reskins fan, seeing a 30 minute Snyder video pop up in my feed is pure ecstasy. Thank you tree

As a lifelong Washington fan... been waiting for this for DECADES

RIP Dwayne Haskins. I know it didn’t have to do with Commanders/Redskins but still RIP.

Dan Snyder and Zack Snyder: Ruining a once proud franchise by arrogance and incompetence

Over half an hour worth of this masterpiece is honestly less than I thought 😂😂😂

"Say the line, Bruce!" "The culture... is actually damn good." "YAY!!!!!"

As a Washington Fan RN, this Video has been my Coping Mechanism.

This is THE Legacy of Failure. We might never see such pure incompetence ever again. The Snyder era of Washington Football shall forever be remembered.

I hope we remember Dan Snyder for all the things of what you shouldn't do when your a owner of a sports team

As someone who has had many successful amusement parks in rollercoaster tycoon 1&2, I feel knowledgeable enough to judge snider on his six flags endeavor.

This is a damn good documentary. As an Eagles fan, I send congratulations for kicking Dan Snyder out and good vibes for my peers as fans elsewhere. Your team deserved so so so much better than him. Hoping the team gets more competitive and we can rebuild the team rivalry with my Eagles.

The Fall of Dan Snyder and the Rise and utter Joy of the Washington Football and its fans! Such a beautiful site!

This timeline & edits are the best breakdown of the travesty that was “The Snyder Era” I’ve seen. This is really, really good. Man, there’s some serious talent on ClickBait.

Washington can do no wrong this season. They could no show, go 0-17 or try to to make the playoffs but fail and no one won't be mad. This is a exciting time for them and can't wait to see what they do next year.

London Fletcher was one of the most underrated players in recent memory. He seriously deserves at least Hall of Fame consideration

I'm glad Tree was able to sum up so succinctly the misery of being a fan of this team that I've been a fan of all throughout my conscious life.

_We need a Mount Rushmore of Bad Sports Owners_ Dan Snyder Donald Sterling Harold Ballard Marge Schott

These dives into sports history are my favorite vids. Always interesting to learn the cause of a team's futility that started decades prior.

A 30 minute video on Dan Snyder? This is gonna be good.

"I'm so proud of him." - Harold Ballard

11:48 AKA making damn sure his grandson is a better driver than his sons. (Note, it is shocking how both Gibbs sons died at the same age, 49, but even more shocking was Coy dying just hours after Ty won the Xfinity championship.)

As a Redskins fan, this was amazing. I especially loved the Sonic and Mario music in there. Thank you!

24:11 A milestone moment in Redskins history.

I'm a DC sports fan. This video was perfect. Kills me on this being my whole life basically. But extremely well done. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Every time you listed off players in succession you evoked the spirit of Gilbert Gottfried and his “Land of the Three Name People” bit. Well played.

Congratulations Redskins/Football Team/Commanders fans. You can finally breathe a sigh of relief; the nightmare is over. I wish you fast healing going forward.

A 30+ minute video by UTree about Dan Snyder.... THIS IS GOING TO BE GREAT!!!!

0:39 TREE(15)? Now that’s a REALLY big number!

24:11 Oh! Oh! He said the thing!

Washington's last Super Bowl was 1991. That's the longest drought in the division.

I have greatly missed Legacies of Failure...hope to see more again soon!
