.500 over the last two years doesn't even come close to a "winning culture". Competitive doesn't cut it. The Washington Generals were competitive with the Harlem Globe Trotters every night but we knew what the out come was going to be. Two .500 seasons doe not come close to bring up the win percentage in the Bob Young era. The record is somewhere in the vicinity of 45-83 -1 . That sucks. Two playoff games with two losses in the last two years doesn't cut it either. Think Edmonton Eskimos, Montreal Alouettes, San Fran 49ers, NE Pats, Pittsburgh Steelers. Those are the kinds of teams who currently or in the recent past have put the kind of product on the field where there fans have a reasonable expectation that their team is going WIN and challenge for a championship. Consistently winning and contending is what builds fan bases, and leads to greater attendance, not two .500 seasons after a decade of embarrassment.

I am well aware the BY wants "all the revenue all the time". The question is why would the city toss him the keys when he has no experience in facility management, and has not shown an ability to build the brand of his team and make money where he is? Might as well let HECFI lose our money. This was a powerplay and scam from the get go and continues to be one.

We are just not going to agree on your "rookie mistake" issue. When one party is putting up the lion's share of the money and the other just about nada. Just say thank you.
