Classic crisis pr in play now on behalf of Team Snyder.

First throw up as much junk into the air as possible to distract from the core issue. So, harp about “anti-semiitism. It is BS and they know it.

Second, call in favors. Find the friendlies and use them as voices to get your message out. Listen to Chad and Lavar

Third, play the victim. “We are only defending ourselves from this vicious attack.”

Tried and true PR.

The point here is that Snyder is trying to intimidate, threaten and strong arm an journalist because he wrote he hard truth.

Fans need to see Snyder for what he is and vote with their pocket books. Stop subsidizing this pint-sized thug. We deserve better.
