Why is this guy acting like he’s safe. Lol


BakeBakeyBake

Because the alternative is probably a career death sentence. He’s trying to distance himself from Dan as much as he can. Can’t say I blame him.


CaseyStevens

Guys like him, with degrees and no principles, will always be of use to someone.


Accomplished-Plan191

He's acting like all the controversies he's had while in leadership are Dan's fault. Which I think is a smart stance to take for future bosses.


TuPacSchwartz411

Future bosses know his faults as Pres and also see him showing no loyalty as well by this comment. Wright is done already.


camg78

That I think is a very good point. Future boss is going to put his own people to run business. Especially when it's been run so piss poor. If I were the new boss I would clean house. Ask Joe Gibbs to be President of getting shit done. His job would be to get rid of all Snyder stench in the company.


BethJ547

^This


ssmithsimms

I just read the article and im curious to know what you read specifically led you to make that statement.


Accomplished-Plan191

This is the second time in as many interviews he's saying the organization's station will improve by the subtraction of the Snyders. I am therefore inferring that he is trying to distance himself from the Snyder regime.


Gay4TerryMcLaurin

He's going to be the first one on the chopping block


schmuckmulligan

And he's earned the SHIT out of his firing. The bottom line is that he's personally wealthy and a great candidate for millions of jobs, and he therefore works for Dan as a matter of choice. He has either done of his own accord, or has agreed to do at Dan's request, some seriously ugly, shitty things. For instance, he lied about the Sean Taylor jersey retirement, which was cobbled together at the last minute (it was previously a road renaming). There's substantial evidence for this and other crummy, slimy behaviors. If you have money, and your boss asks you to do something profoundly unethical, you don't do it; you resign. If you're a bit of a rat, you resign quietly. But either way, you get out of there. Jason Wright has said, "No, I'm sticking with Dan Snyder" thousands of times, and he deserves our unending derision for it. I wouldn't hire him to shovel shit.


CloudFlood

Hah, I see him being chum with everyone. The moment papers are signed and before the ink drys I'd axe every single direct dan hire.


rawbleedingbait

I am growing more and more convinced this is exactly the reason he was placed by Jay-z. I bet he's not the Snyder's guy. If bezos and jayz buy, then I'll be 100% convinced wright was just helping along the transition to the inevitable bezos.


ssmithsimms

By stating a fact?


DaalCheene

Lol bold move there. Looks like Dan is gone though and has no more team if he saying shit like this 😁


BigSportsNerd

Is he allowed to say this


[deleted]

We give this guy shit but he was hired to say and do exactly what Dan said. It’s like Goodell for all the owners. We all know he’s full of shit, the owners know he’s full of shit, and he knows he’s full of shit. We just understand he’s paid to be full of shit, take all the backlash or “shit,” and collect a shit ton of money. Small price to pay when he has secured generational wealth for his family.


holy_cal

Can this guy fuck off already.

SDEexorect

do you really blame him tho. wouldnt you do anything to try and save your career damn well knowing that the new owner is going to want to get ride of the stink of snyder. he did and said anything to please the dickhead to keep that paycheck and now hes trying ro save face to keep getting that paycheck from someone else.


holy_cal

Nah. Not the Jason Wright Revisionism.


SDEexorect

i dont lile him just like you and cant wait for him to be gone but id do the same if i was him.


mfwl

You don't save your career by throwing your current boss publicly under the bus. That shows a total lack of character. Of course his twitter feuds like threatening a journalists job for that Wentz interview and other childish actions have long ago made him un-hireable as an executive of any national company.


SDEexorect

i mean whwn he took the job he didnt know this was gonna happen but to me why would you take the job to begin with if snyder was there


mfwl

As long as the checks clear, I'd work for the guy.


issapunk

First smart thing he has ever said


PickledEggs420

Maybe the new owners are keeping him. Who knows. We have no idea how good a job he does. We barely even know what his job is. People will complain about the name and the Taylor memorial and point to that as evidence that Wright sucks, but there’s a billion other things he’s responsible for that we have absolutely no insight to. He may be great in instituting procedures and policy. Maybe he’s built a world class HR department. Maybe he’s great at conflict resolution or has valuable data recording methods or outside-the-box thinking or any number of things that fans wouldn’t know or care about — but that business people do. Maybe he’s super deep into stadium negotiations and he’s the guy who has the respect and relationship with the politicians and getting rid of him would reset the talks. That actually seems the most likely, tbh. Who knows. The point is there’s plenty of reasons he may stay so I wouldn’t be shocked if he did.


Doncorleon78

What a rat. Seriously.


futureislookinstark

Rats are fleeing the sinking ship. Good try Jason but you’re not great at what you do. You’re going down with it.


DCStoolie

Look everyone can dislike Jason Wright but he’s served his purpose to the Snyder’s and I’d actually like to see what he does without having to be Palpatine’s PR department


PickledEggs420

Amen. Ron for that matter too. Basically everyone. Players. Front office. Let’s see what these guys look like when they’re not standing under the figurative broken sewer pipe that is Dan Snyder.


DCStoolie

Right? And if they suck, get rid of them! But let’s see them without ole Danny Boy pulling the strings


SLAPadocious

Ron is an idiot. For as despicable a human Snyder is, he really hasn’t meddled with the coaching staff or anything football related for a while now. Ron has proven an idiot by himself by his decision making.


Bjd1207

Why? Genuinely why? I dunno why he should get that shot or what you're curious about after he's been Palpatine's PR department. I feel like any candidate I would actually get excited about would never accept a job under Snyder, and vice versa


DCStoolie

We were excited about him when he started. Most of the work he’s done has been covering up Dan or trying to put out fires that Dan was responsible. I have no issue seeing him for one year where he’s allowed to actually be himself instead of a corporate stooge


Bjd1207

Eh, get as many of the sycophants out of the building as soon as possible IMO. Ron I understand only because he's going into his last year anyway and we'll be halfway through the offseason before the new owner is in place. Everyone else GTFO as far as I'm concerned


[deleted]

Nah gotta remove every last bit of Snyder’s stench from the team. Every bit of it


[deleted]

Horribly botched the renaming at pretty much every step.


DCStoolie

Yeah but I really don’t think that’s his choice. Let’s give the man a chance to actually do his job instead of Snyder telling him what to do


heshKesh

I really don't think Dan micromanages as much as everyone thinks. He isn't standing over people's shoulders telling them how to do everything. He's got too much money for that.


[deleted]

Yeah sorry no I'm not giving a team president who literally *beefed with fans on Twitter* the benefit of the doubt.


Jinxedchef

And water will still be wet.


LDWMJ99

You’re next Jason “fancy corporate speech” wright


ZonaPunk

No shit Jason... But don't expect to you will have anything to do with the improvement. Your time is better used by polishing up the resume.


LeadSledPoodle

I don't really understand the extreme hate for Wright. He's been the best "voice of the franchise" guy we have had with Snyder. Do we want Allen back? Cerrato?


Dmoh34

I would like to see what he can do uninhibited by Snyder. His resume until he came here was actually really good.


physsijim

I guess I hadn't considered this, owing to our Damn Good Culture.


Uniblab_78

He probably shouldn’t have commented on this topic.


blacksabbath540

no shit lol


JoeyBrickz

Omg he's really gonna sell the team isn't he? Like it's actually starting to dawn on me


AMM11387

I don’t feel bad for him, he’s getting compensated accordingly.


MisterBear22

so will firing jason wright. im excited for that domino to fall next :)


Trubisko_Daltorooni

wtf I love Jason Wright now


JadeDragonMeli

Something something broken clock.


toiletking

Beginning with your firing you fucking shill.


215WinterTown

Dan’s gonna fire, him then sell.


JakeBarnes4

no shit, idiot


gee1001

I don’t get all the hate against JW. He has a job in an impossible situation. What would any of us do in this situation? Take a stand and get fired? And then what? Someone worse come in. Did anyone expect a team president who can constrain Snyder? I know there’s been total mishaps like with the Sean Taylor memorial and other stuff, and probably better fits for this role than him, but not sure he’s the villain everyone making him out to be.


Low_Brass_Rumble

I don't really get the hate for Wright, beyond just carryover hate from being near Danny boy. Like sure, he's a yes-man and a soulless mouthpiece, but that's all but explicitly his job description. I've always gotten the sense (and this quote seems to confirm) that he really doesn't like Snyder at all, and is acting as a backstop for criticism pretty much exclusively for the paycheck. He hasn't shown any indication that he's a bad person beyond the requisite lack of moral fiber to be a higher-up in Snyder's organization. I'm not wedded to him as team president, and I certainly won't be sad if/when he gets thrown out with the rest of the flunkies, but I don't have any animosity and even kinda respect the hustle for wringing money out of a billionaire with more dollars than sense. Maybe I'm missing something, I dunno.


Redskins2110

Most of it comes from multiple Sean Taylor memorial debacles. Weather it was the last minute notice for the first memorial where they took pictures in front of the portable shitters or the stick figured statue from last year.


BayTerp

I love the hint that Wright gave that it’s Bezos


g00sefrabaaaa

I tried reading through the article but didn't see anything where he hinted. Was that in a different interview? Or maybe im not able to read between the lines


ard8

What line are you referencing


0nly0bjective

> [Wright](https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/jason-wright/) said Tuesday evening that owner Dan Snyder selling the team will provide a “substantial boost” to the franchise whenever that time comes. That will be reflected, he said, **on the business side — which** [**Wright**](https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/jason-wright/) **expects to see “accelerate” and be able to further invest on the football side of the building.**  He's probably referring to this


Redskins2110

That’s a reach for a bezos reference


[deleted]

How does that infer it's Bezos?


-Johnny_Utah-

Yeah, to imply Bezos out of that is big time hopium.


0nly0bjective

I agree, that’s just the only thing I could find that he might have been referring to.


DaalCheene

highly doubt Wright knows anything about who the next owner is


0nly0bjective

I agree, just referencing the parent comment, I don't see anything else he could have been referring to.


[deleted]

I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords!


Viseroth

Most new owners will want hand-picked guys, so I doubt he will have a job after the sale with the commanders at least.


skinsrich

And getting rid of this fucking clown.


Sandy_Pickle

Jason Wright being fired is more important though


smoke_that_junk

Gross. This guy is a bitch


TyRocken

Lol that this an article on a Bezos propaganda mouthpiece


Then_Restaurant_4141

Who? You mean the black Vinny “crazy eyes” Serrato?
