NEW YORK (AP) — Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder has sued Washington City Paper over a column he says defamed him and had anti-Semitic references.
Snyder filed the lawsuit in New York State Supreme Court on Wednesday.
The story entitled “The Crazy Redskins Fan’s Guide to Dan Snyder,” has an altered photo of the owner with horns and a beard. The suit claims the weekly newspaper used “lies, half-truths, innuendo and anti-Semitic imagery to smear, malign, defame and slander” Snyder.
The suit also says the newspaper reported Snyder engaged in criminal conduct by “forging names.”
Snyder will contribute any monetary damages received to groups that assist the homeless, the lawsuit said.
