Fans need to stay home!!!

As much as I love the Redskins and have stayed with them through all of the horrible coaching and decisions. This is just nothing more than an OWNER problem!. Nobody including the players want to deal with this owner, and there isn't enough money to get anybody to coach that will put up with this owner. He does NOT care!! So, maybe if he starts to feel it in his WALLET he will either GET out of ownership or let someone really COACH this team. And this means stepping up recruiting and making players PRACTICE!!!

How sick are we of hearing it all getting blamed on Portis, Zorn, and Campbell?? I am ready to hurl! They NEED an OWNER who CARES and a COACH they will allow to coach. Then they can work on the team. A disgusted

STAY HOME FANS!!!

I'm saying this for about the fifth time

You have already bought your tickets, staying home does not hurt him as much as it hurts you not having a day at the game

The answer is to go to the game, but DO NOT pay for parking, catch Public Transport instead
DO NOT buy any merchandise, do you really need crappy made in China T-Shirts or hats anyway….and thats another thing, any Redskins merchandise not made in DC or Virginia should be boycotted
DO NOT buy and food or drinks instead take your own

That is the secret, enjoy what you have paid for but do not give him a penny more

Snyder's a genius...

He makes more money selling tickets to opponent’s fans than he does off our season tickets. So he offers up a marshmallow team for a punching bag-guaranteed win, sells tickets to opponent’s fans at a higher price per game, and sell more beer and food to people who are outnumbering the home team fans, cheering lustily all the way.

bus ride?

I parked at that ginormous church and walked in. It did cost $35 but worth not taking the shuttle. Exit traffic was great. But holy wow… that must be the worst stadium to get into. I’m assuming it was a lot worse due to rush hour but there just has to be a fast way to get people in. That bottle neck where the parking lots split off shouldnt have to move that slow.

I was in section 404 8 rows up. I thought they were great seats.

Other than the moron who yelled that “I hope he dies… and his mother too” while Westbrook was laying motionless it was great.

But i did meet a lot of cool skins fans. Just goes to show you that you should never judge a fanbase by one or two drunk-outta-there-mind idiots.

Thanks...

for being a level-headed, mature sportsfan. Don’t see that too often. No excuse for the taunts about an injured player under any circumstances.

There is no excuse for traffic being as bad as it is getting in and out. Snyder just wanted a few hundred more parking spaces to sell rather than putting in the correct number of lanes. Plus, he manages the parking lot like he manages the team.

IN Australia

All the major sporting teams except a couple are owned by the supporters.

When you buy a season ticket, you dont buy a Season Ticket, its called a Membership, yeah it gets you a seat to all the games but more importantly it lets you vote for a President and a Board to run the club and pick a CEO.

DOes this not sound like a much better way to run a league than having an Owner who can just basically screw the fans…… Thomas Boswell wrote something a while back about Snyder not understanding that even though he thinks he owns the Redskins, he really doesnt, they are a Public Trust… the problem is in the Franchise/Ownership model there is nothing the public can do to protect their Public Trust

Gotta say I prefer our way of doing things……MY AUssie Rules team Hawthorn is run quite well at the moment, but if I become unhappy in a couple of years time there will be an election and I can vote the ppl who are running the club out…..as I say we won it all last year and injuries were the thing that killed us this season so I will support the current leadership, but the important thing is I have a choice,,,,,, in America,,,, the land of democracy, when it ocmes to Sport its all a dictatorship,,,,,,,, JUst seems wrong

What a cool way to do it...

We have commissioners who oversee our sports leagues. But they are essentially powerless to at least a majority of owners, and it would be inconceivable for the Commish to revoke Snyder’s “franchise” for mismanagement, or even conduct detrimental to the game.

Actually

there is one NFL team that’s owned by the fans. The Green Bay Packers are a public company, with stock owned by the fans. Don’t know how their structured as a corporation, but gotta think the stockholders vote for the BOD who then hire the staff.

Would love to see that in DC.

Good God

I pity you poor fans. I sincerely pity every single skins fan who allows that single strand of hope pick up their remote and turn on a game to watch their offense get embarrassed. If there’s anything Steeler Nation can do to help. Just let us know. I think James Harrison might be up for the job of taking out Snyder. Long as he doesn’t have to fly there.

Bring a towel to the game. Black or gold or yellow. If you don't have one buy one, If you can't buy one, dye one!!!
