Seriously... tightwad????? Snyder can be accused of being many things... but, I'm pretty sure that "tightwad" isn't one of them...
well let's start with: lowering ticket costs, drinks, hot dogs, parking... etc...
Yup, tightwad is the same as screwing people for their money...IMO
Thats a fair argument.
Then, let's finish with this, from Webster...
Tightwad:
tight·wad
Pronunciation: \ˈtīt-ˌwäd\
Function: noun
Date: 1906
: a close or miserly person
Snyder is not a tightwad. This would suggest that he does not SPEND money. We clearly know that Snyder does not object to spending.
YOU refer to Greed... If you suggest that Snyder is Greedy... that he over charges, that he does not provide value for dollar spent on services and goods that he provides in exchange, you would not get an argument (though, from what I can see, most of his charges are about on par with the league for relative market size and strength) from me.
However... Snyder IS perfectly willing to spend money... often foolishly... and, therefore, NOT a tightwad.
Yeah... no matter how much you'd like... you can't just make up the meaning of a word... unless you are a politician...
