Thanks. And dog fighting it NOT an interest of mine. I put that up a couple years ago when people where making terrible comments about Vick (some rightfully deserved). Thanks for pointing it out... taking it down.

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

HHHMMM. Snyder lives in Potomac and travels to Ashburn during the week. On the weekend for home games he travels to FEDEX in Landover. None of those trips requires him to go through DC. If he does see the banner it will be on the news. After all of the negative publicity that he has already gotten from the media, I doubt that this will be the straw that breaks the cammel's back. Hey, at least it might get you on the 10 o'clock news.

#1 I don't think anybody is "mad", I just think it's silly.

#2 isn't that what this board is all about in the first place, a bunch of armchair QBs talking football and what we think should or shouldn't be done when it comes to the team??

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

Well who knows maybe they will be successful. DS will feel hated here, rent a truck, come to ashburn in the middle of the night and head over to the west coast.

Seriously, what good does alienating the only man who can make the changes that need to be made do to the cause of bettering the Skins. One of my problems with this, is its a good example of a knee jerk reaction that will have many unintended consequences if successful.

Suppose it does get traction. And the media bashes Snyder even more (if that is even possible). What is the end game? Snyder isn't selling the Skins, ever. but he can move them or do other things which just don't have positive results for "our" Skins.

Too many times people try things like this but don't get the media on board. Remember the huge demonstrations against scientology a couple of years ago? Probably not.. because those internet nerds never considered alerting any press that they'd be doing it.

[quote=Chico23231;614497]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). [/quote]

Quite a few people on this board saying the money should go to a better cause. Perhaps we should spend our money on a $60 Redskins Jersey...or perhaps we should drop 10 large on some club level seats? That will feed all the kids in Africa.

All kidding aside. I do encourage donations to charity. But you don't have to give all your money to charity. All you need is like 8,000 fans to give a dollar and this could happen. I will probably be too lazy to do it:-)

I think this could have an effect. It would make the news and have an effect on Dan. He will get better at his job someday.

I don't know about the scientology thing and I'm not trying to egg these guys on, but I can tell you if there are buses flying around D.C., for four weeks, with banners attached to the side it will get some traction. And I don't think it would take four weeks either.

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

Okay.....

$543 and 2,545 views in a little over 24 hours. We are thinking that it is going to be slow over the weekend, so anyone thinking about donating money now is a great time!

As always, tell your friends, radio stations, and facebook/myspaces pages.

Also a lot of people are talking about making flyer's to hand out at the game/put in peoples windshields so we are looking for a nice jump Monday night or Tuesday.

Its only been one day but this has been overall VERY WELL received (not necessarily from everyone here obliviously).

Thanks!

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

Problem: "mlmpetert boy" for believing he could shame the owner into selling the team.

Question: You own an Outback Steak House. It's making money hand over fist but the public is not happy with your bar tender (cause he/she can't mix drinks very well) and the manager (who basically tells the public to pack sand). Now the public is starting to run adds in the paper for you to sell the team.....what do you do?

A) Sell the team.
B) Fire the bar tender and manager and hire someone new.
C) Keep the status quo.

I can tell you one thing ....your not selling the team. Most likely your not keeping status quo. You fix the problem and you'll make more money with a better bar tender and manager. People only sell their business if they are losing money. DS may not even sell then, it seems he has held on to the theme park for several yrs with it not making money.

Soooo.........basically your waisting your time and other peoples money. ;)

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

OOOkay, someone must have a lot of time on there hands...

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

Oh, and lets just say you were able to shame "Danny Boy" into doing something......or encouraged other fans to stop buying into the team.....your "Danny Boy" would simply move the team to another location that wants a team bad enough.

Maybe you could get DS to move the team and sometime within 10 yrs the NFL will give DC another team. Maybe.

I wouldn't really call it wasting other peoples money. If people are stupid enough to believe that a billboard on the side of a bus is going to be enough for Dan Syder to sell the team then they let them spend there money. On a side note i'm selling some magic beans, for every bean you buy Portis runs for an extra half yard. Please buy these so the redskins can get back to the winning ways.

The Washington Redskins have been run into the ground. But who is to blame? Here are some problems that we've outlined along with a solution:

Problem: “Danny Boy” has mismanaged OUR team for the last decade and counting….

Problem: “Danny Boy” loves to make headlines and sell jerseys by signing big name high priced free agent players normally way past their prime…..

Problem: “Danny Boy” has signed, interfered with, and fired so many coaches during his 10 year ownership quality coaches no longer want to work for OUR team…

Problem: “Danny Boy” has put trust and confidence in one of the worst GM/Operations Manager in the league (Vinny Boy Cerrato) for 9 out of 10 years…

Problem: “Danny Boy” cheers and claps his hands congratulating OUR team after a win. After a loss he turns his back to OUR team, a gesture normally reserved for 3rd graders and tribal leaders in third world counties….

Problem: “Danny Boy” spends waayyyyyy too much time with Tom Cruise

Solution: Request that Danny Boy sell OUR team. We need to send a clear message that Danny Boy’s interference with OUR team will not be tolerated. Danny Boy needs to step back hire a competent General Manager and stop meddling with OUR team. He needs to go away, either by selling OUR team or by disappearing and staying out of the operations. We urge every fan to stop buying licensed merchandise from Danny Boy. Until Danny Boy is no longer involved in operations, or better yet no longer the owner PLEASE DO NOT BUY TEAM MERCHANDISE from Danny Boy.

The goal is to raise $7,750 to place an ad on ten (10) DC Metro busses and propose OUR “Solution” to all residents of the District and Fans of OUR Team. The signs will be approximately 13 feet by 2.5 feet and read “Sell OUR Team Danny Boy”. While we are at it lets also raise $500 dollars for charity benefiting the Muscular Dystrophy Association, and send a Certified Letter to Danny Boy asking him to match OUR donation to charity.

The costs associated with doing this are as follows:

$7,000 – Ten (10) DC Metro Bus Ads to run for a period of 4 weeks (to be purchased through CBS Outdoor, [url]www.cbsoutdoor.com[/url])
$500 – Twelve (12) Signs to be printed and transported to DC Metro Bus Lines (to be purchased through CSI, [url=http://www.csi2.com/services.html]CSI :: All Print Great & Small[/url])
$500 – Donation to the Muscular Dystrophy Association ([url=http://www.mda.org/help/donate/snailmail.html]MDA Donation By Mail[/url])
$250 – PayPal takes approximately 3% fee for transactions
$8,250 – Total Amount Needed

Here’s the reason we are using kapipal.com:

You can use your credit card or PayPal account to donate the minimum of $5 or as much as you like. Kapipal.com is a third party and is in no way related to us. Unlike Danny Boy we don’t want your money and we are not looking to make one penny off of this. We are just looking to raise a couple bucks for the Muscular Dystrophy Association, and request OUR team be managed competently. Any proceeds will benefit charity.

We have room on the sign for a small amount of "notable donations". If you are willing to make a large donation ($500 plus) and would like your name or company recognized on the ad please contact us at: [email]sellourteamdannyboy@gmail.com[/email]

Also, if we don't get close to the $8250 we will refund all donations. I think that this is a no-brainer and that with the thousands of Redskins Fans out there we will easily reach $8250; however, if we don't get $8250 within 30 days every dollar will be refunded.

And Bus adds? Make sure at least one of those buses are the shuttle buses at the stadium. The buses that take people from the cash lots to the stadium. It would be hilarious if you pulled that off. If you can make sure of that then I'll donate some money.
