We previously commented at some length about D.C. Redskins' owner Dan Snyder's libel suit against the Washington City Paper. He's now dropped the suit. Perhaps he dropped the suit because he didn't want to test the District's new anti-SLAPP statute. Perhaps he gave up because he recognized that his case was weak. It sure couldn't have helped his case when he admitted in a recent N.Y. Times interview that he had never read the supposedly libelous City Paper article.
