Haber received widespread attention in 2011 year for his on-air commentaries in connection with the libel lawsuit filed by Washington Redskins' owner Daniel Snyder against the Washington City Paper. Haber, with the full support of WUSA-TV and parent company Gannett, made an impassioned stand in support of the newspaper's First Amendment rights and against what he called, "Snyder's financial bullying, reckless claims of anti-Semitism and wanton misrepresentation of the truth." Haber's campaign helped launch a widespread outcry against Snyder's attempts to manipulate both the legal system and the media—one that several months later saw the ACLU and numerous other organizations file an amicus curiae brief in federal court seeking the dismissal of the suit. Haber's commentaries were widely viewed as among the leading catalysts for the filing. In November 2011, Snyder dropped the lawsuit. In July 2011, Haber announced his resignation as sports director of WUSA-TV, the CBS affiliate in Washington, D.C., where he had served since 2004. The sports director position at that station was filled by Darren M. Haynes (also an ESPN alum) in August 2017. Education Haber is a graduate of Hunter College High School and Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire, where he was a member of Sigma Nu fraternity.
