There are times In every journalist’s life when cynicism may set in. Many of us were taught that journalism was not only a right but a necessity.

For a very long time, we imagined that Washington NFL franchise owner Daniel Snyder would be the quintessential Legion of Doom villain for the entirety of his ownership of the Washington NFL team.
He seemed dead set on allowing his bottom line to dictate his conscience, even going to so far as a funding bogus poll of Native Americans who believed the Redskins moniker was NOT disrespectful.
