Snyder lawsuit against Washington City Paper dropped

Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder dropped his lawsuit against Washington City paper and one of its writers, Dave McKenna. The defamation lawsuit had been in response to a Nov. 19 cover story, “The Cranky Redskins Fan’s Guide to Dan Snyder,” where Snyder claims he was libeled.

Snyder dropped the suit, and both parties released a statement Saturday night announcing the news, though their interpretations of events remained divided. Snyder says he now prefers to focus on the team since the season is underway.
