[quote=JoeRedskin;614454]It's not that I'm sticking up for DS - I (and I think others) believe that, given the limited funds out there to support charitable causes in these tough economic times, perhaps this is not the best way those funds could be spent.[/quote]

Really? ummm...Yeah of course the money could go to better cause, I try give to several charities each year... the way the people of this country spends money on unnecessary things each day is reprehensible in itself (but that another arguement). I would just like a visible statement from the fans of saying enough is enough. We are at bottom fellas, in all my years of being a fan I have never felt more bleak. And we have sat on ours hands for years watching this garbage. Its time and something needs to be done. If you dont have the money or you want it to go to another cause, by all means...

My not start a fund to just buy the team and then we could be like GB and everyone could own a part of the team. We could all come here durn the game and email in the plays that we all agree upon after taking a vote.

Re: Sell OUR Team Danny Boy - DC Metro Bus Ads
 

[quote=mlmpetert;614449]Obviously we dont expect him to sell the team. Honestly he has proven that he wants to win, however; my thought is that his constant meddling with the team, putting VC in charge, and hiring and firing coaches has put the team in the position it is in.

[B]We say sell the team but mean get out of the operations and management of the team. More of an impact to say Sell The Team.[/B][/quote]

I must disagree. If your message is "get out of the operations," then saying that has the most "impact." Saying "sell the team" just makes the issue muddy and unclear. It also enables Danny to more easily ignore your message.

[quote=Chico23231;614435]WOW surprised by people sticking up for Danny Boy. Guess people are happy with his football decisions. Unbelievable.[/quote]

I don't like all of his decisions either, but I'm also not going to stoop to the level of what many people have. Editing wikipedia pages, cheap shots at his wife and kids, about his appearance, etc etc. It is ridiculous what people are saying about him. Jackassery at its finest. He deserves some kind of respect, no matter how much you disapprove of his leadership decisions.

This whole deal is classic mob mentality. Who needs rational and logical thought when we can act emotionally? Get him!!!

Agreed.

It's gotten out of hand.

I think he's well aware nobody is happy right now. He doesn't need a billboard to tell him that.

glad you have 300 to donate to your cause (I assume the 300 is like putting bills in the tip jar).


You aren't from Nigeria are you?

PS yes I think it's a stupid campaign, and yes I am a DS supporter.

Re: Sell OUR Team Danny Boy - DC Metro Bus Ads
 

A bunch of haters. The guy spent time to collect money for a cause, and its working.

Stop hating; if you dont think its a worthy cause donate for something else. I am not paying for it, but I am not gonna rag on him/

Re: Sell OUR Team Danny Boy - DC Metro Bus Ads
 

I've only been around the site for 2 1/2 years, but this has to be the most ridiculous things I've seen here. What will be even more mind-numbing to me, than the last few weeks of Skins offense, will be if the $$$ goal is reached and these signs actually get on buses.

If you're successful, post pictures. I think this is a royal waste of time/money, but some people probably think my game reviews are a waste of time too.

Re: Sell OUR Team Danny Boy - DC Metro Bus Ads
 

Just curious but have you actually asked to see if thats something they would allow to go on the busses.

Re: Sell OUR Team Danny Boy - DC Metro Bus Ads
 

I've only been a fan for 25 years, but this team has to be the most ridiculous I've ever seen. What will be even more mind-numbing to me, than the last few weeks of the Skins offense, if Dan Snyder keeps making football decisions which he should never be making in the first place.

If he is successful, post pictures. I think his meddling is a royal waste of time/money,
but some people think he can be successful.

All 'hating' aside...if this was so noble wouldn't he collecting more for the charity than for the billboards?

Also isn't he essentially panhandling for money to give to a charity? Is that still considered philantropic?


Anyway...I'm indifferent to the efforts here but I would be interested to see if the goal is reached.

The "Sell OUR team" thing is a bit melodramatic and will have absolutely zero effect on anything that goes on in Redskin Park. But it's a free country. Good luck with the effort.

Re: Sell OUR Team Danny Boy - DC Metro Bus Ads
 

I don't quite get the assumption that selling the team would make things better anyway. I mean I get it he's the "worst owner in sports" but are you telling me that every potential buyer would be better?

Maybe we'd get an owner who doesn't want to invest any money on the team, maybe we'd get one who actually wants to coach the team like Ted Turner tried with the Atlanta Braves (if I remember right), maybe we'd even get one who wants to move the team

[quote=firstdown;614573]Just curious but have you actually asked to see if thats something they would allow to go on the busses.[/quote]

Yes. Please see the cost break down, I show the companies I will be using. I have talked to everyone and made all arangments that need to be done in order to get the ads put up (minus send them the money, as of yet).

If anyone wants to donate a decent amount of money I will be glad to send you all the names and contact info of the people Ive spoken with.

$365, almost 5% there....

Yeah he is not selling this team. And what effect it has...dont know, but at least DS will know that fans are unhappy enough to actually do this will and this will at least grab his attention. The media will be all over it. May get him to think what is next, if they do this, maybe there willing to not buy merch, tune in, or come to games. Melodramatic, yep a little. Dont stop doing your game reviews, there good

Yeah cause the half empty stadium on Sunday, this coming Monday, and the boos certainly don't get his attention.

Not to beat a dead horse, but Thanksgiving/Christmas are coming up. do you know how many homeless shelters, foster homes and juvenile centers could use $8,000 and really make a difference at this time of the year?

Danny boy is worth a few billion he can handle that, as for us we are doing this and we are up to 445 right now.

Re: Sell OUR Team Danny Boy - DC Metro Bus Ads
 

Yeah the half stadium and the boos are good, please dont stop that. This still would have a better effect I believe. And a seperate drive to collect funds for the homeless or shelters for the coming up holidays I would be very interested with giving to that as well.

The approved message will read "Sell OUR Team Danny Boy". They do however; require us to say something along the lines of paid for by individual fans of the Redskins in small print.

The are very pro free speech. They recently ran a "atheist ad" and do controversial ads.

Also the reason why we decided on the bus ads was due to billboards being outrageously expensive in the DC area (25-40k). Flying a plan with a banner is several thousand only last one day, one time. Put adds on trucks is several hounded a day and is only on 1 truck. Basically the cost of 10 buses for 4 weeks was by far the most "economical" thing to do.

$453! Over 5%

Re: Sell OUR Team Danny Boy - DC Metro Bus Ads
 

For me, there would be a portion of this endeavor that I would consider inexplicable. On the other hand I wouldn't want to come across as emasculating any worthwhile effort that may be beneficial, however Metro Bus ads seem to be just a little......well

Too much of an emotional overtone, and doubt it would even be permissable. Good luck! though.

Re: Sell OUR Team Danny Boy - DC Metro Bus Ads
 

If they pull this off, it will definitely get some traction. The local media will be all over it.

Re: Sell OUR Team Danny Boy - DC Metro Bus Ads
 

good luck fellas, should be kinda funny kinda odd if you and your donators pull it off.

question: what happens to the money/donations if you dont reach the 8k goal?

to the people mad that they arent doing this for other more deserving charities . . . . if you feel so passionate whats stopping you?

lol at people who complain from their couch or computer chair what should or shouldnt be done.

go skins!!

If it said hire a real Gm i'd donate but i don't really have a hate for Snyder like many other redskin fans.

Re: Sell OUR Team Danny Boy - DC Metro Bus Ads
 

You know what's funny is if this site had been around 15 years ago, Dan Snyder is probably a fan posting on this site demanding changes be made to the franchise he grew up loving.

I can see it now. Snyder, with the user name Sonny's Belt Buckle, starts a new thread "Castrate Casserly and Nullify Norv"

"Guys I'm renting ads on the sides of phone booths to demand that changes our made to our team. I grew up following this team and I'm tired of the poor playcalling, inane draft picks...ah fuck it I'm just going to buy the team myself"

For as stupid of an idea everyone claims it to be, currently he has raised 463 dollars in one day. That's more money that most of us make a in day.

Sounds like it is working.
