Arena Football: The Lamest Made-for-TV Pastime Ever?
An early sign of Dan Snyder's Acquisition Deficit Disorder came shortly after he took over the Redskins, when he purchased the DC franchise rights to the Arena Football League.
He never followed through on his pledge/threat to put an arena team in this market.
And for this failure, if for no other reason, the Nation's Capital owes Snyder a huge thanks.
I mean, does anybody "get" this game?

Jeeze what a moron. Guess arena footballs too complicated for you. Too bad danny boy won't put a team here then we'd have a REAL football team to cheer.

It's not actually that bad live. It's football, lots of contact, and lots of loud music. It's not the opera. But live, it isn't that bad. I've never watched a second of it on TV, though.
I attended a few AFL games in Columbus and there are far worse ways to spend a few hours in Columbus than at a Destroyers game. Though, that might be more indicative of Columbus than of the AFL.

Snyder may own the local arena football league rights but another lower-tier indoor league has franchised a team called the Chesapeake Tide in Upper Marlboro for two years now.
