Even as his organization has become the butt of all sorts of jokes, Redskins owner Dan Snyder has followed his self-imposed policy of not speaking to reporters during football season. But during a charity appearance Tuesday, Snyder expressed embarrassment over what has taken place this season. Snyder was asked by a reporter how this situation has affected him personally.
"It hurts," he said. "It really hurts. We are really trying very, very hard, everyone at Redskins Park, the coaches, the players. The organization's quite frankly held together well, and I think we've got an opportunity the rest of the season to hopefully get it going. But to date we've let everyone down, including ourselves, and we know that and we're just apologetic. We've blown some games that obviously we think we should have won."
Snyder was asked about some recent controversies, including the organization's ban of signs and banners inside FedEx. The owner chose not to answer those questions.
