I am a clever person.! I am creative, clever, thoughtful and at times even border on being erudite. I am accused of being gifted by some. This is an exercise in recognizing my strengths and being able to acknowledge them. I'm also, too often .very think skinned and prone to radical and severe oversensitivity When I am responding to someone or something in an absurdly over sensitive and thin skinned way, My behavior becomes highly self-sabotaging and highly self-negating. I become foolish and act in ways that are, simply and clearly not in my best interest.
A big Washington Sports Story was broken earlier today. Dan Snyder is suing a free Washington DC Weekly Newspaper - The Washington City Paper - over a Front page story on him that appeared in the November 19th Edition of The City Paper.The Title of this article is The Cranky Redskin Fantasy Guide to Dan Snyder. The article is very long and caustically critical, It goes over what the writer sees as the numerous miscues, errors, and lies connected to Dan Snyder both as the owner of The Washington Redskins and as a business owner and executive. The author of the article, Dave McKenna, says that the article is true. The editors of The City Paper as well as The Corporate Management and Owners of The City Paper, Dan Snyder's representatives say have been presented what they contend are factual inaccuracies in the story and have asked the writer and his editors to acknowledge those errors in fact.Dave Mc Kenna has steadfastly stood by his story and his editors have stood by him and the story, A Washington Post Reporter,Paul Farhi, has written that Dan Snyder has asked the City Paper to fire Dave McKenna
Dan Snyder DOES have a reputation for thinskinnedness and hyper sensitivity. He seems to get rather shrill when the fans of the Redskins state that they are highly displeased with his ownership of the team. He banned signs from FedEX Stadium that were uncomplimentary towards him. At one point , He cited, as a defense, An NFL Rule against derogatory signs, no such rule exists. Years ago, The Redskins played the Steelers in Pittsburgh. He had a member of his staff listen to the Steeler's radio broadcast of the game. When Dan was told that negative comments were being made about him. Mr, Snyder sent the subordinate to ask the commentators to discontinue the :"offensive comments". After being listed to politely, The staffer was told to leave the booth and that the announcers would continue to say whatever they chose to say.
Mr. Snyder own multiple Sports Radio Stations in The DC Area, These stations are known as being slavishly pro Redskins and EVEN MORE!!! slavishly pro Dan Snyder. A Former Top FM Talk Station - WJFK- 106.7 FM became 106.7 The Fan in late July of 2009, The station says that they are a truly independent sports station. The Most Rapid Redskin Fans claim them to be Anti -Redskin and Anti-Snyder.
In the interest of fairness, There is a picture of Dan Snyder with devils horns drawn on the side of his head. Mr. Snyder's representatives claim that Mr. Snyder , who is Jewish, saw those horns as an Anti-Semitic slur. Commentators on WFAN say that those horns having nothing to do with what Mc Kenna wrote and are, at best, a tangent.
As Someone who can be hypersensitive and very thin skinned, You do have to ask yourself if you respect the person/people who deride you.I f you do not, Consider the source and move on. If you do, Do you want to take on whate4ver might come to pass as result of challenging that person. If it is, Tread carefully as you act. If not, Know that you can't control people and that anything smacking of clear censuring is not going to be well-received..
Some times, Taking a deep breathe, knowing that your discomfort is purely your issue to deal with and moving on is the wisest and best course to pursue!
