I don't disagree with Dax though. Snyder is not in a position to be preaching.
hy·poc·ri·sy noun \hi-?pä-kr?-s? also h?-\
: the behavior of people who do things that they tell other people not to do : behavior that does not agree with what someone claims to believe or feel.
Here, we've got a guy who makes millions of dollars and extra benefits, talking about how the system is broken because of dollars and extra benefits. Here, we've got a guy who's presiding over 150mil in new football facilities, littering Vanier with renderings of the new facility for every recruit to ogle over and he's quoted as saying...
"Everybody is building Taj Mahals," Snyder said, "and I think it sends the message -- and young people today I think are more susceptible to the downside of that message, and that it's not about education. We're saying it is, but it's really about the glitz and the glitter, and I think sometimes values get distorted that way. I hate to think a young guy would make a decision about where he's going to get an education based on what a building looks like."
I mean, there's nothing wrong with anything Snyder is doing. But his comments ring a bit hollow to me. Ya know, like pot meet kettle, amiright?
