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

[quote=SBXVII;614934]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. ;)[/quote]

The problem with your logic here is that #2 is the desired result. Nice try though.

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

[quote=WaldSkins;615016]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.[/quote]

Magic beans?! Hell yes, count me in!

Great news, I am glad to see you riding the Redskins Bashing wave to the crest. May you get your wish, and Snyder move the team to LA. Maybe to England and call them the Redcoats!

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

Crazy.

Some insane person calling our owner "Danny Boy" raises nearly $600 in a few days for an ad campaign that has zero chance of affecting ANYTHING...yet this site has no donations for the whole month:

This is hilarious...but this is what should happen after we have put up with garbage for the Snyder era over the last 10 years. DS should be embarrassed, I have no sympathy for him and his poor excuses anymore. He has made some of the worst decisions over the last decade in regards to football. Hopefully he is starting to get the message and will start by firing that no class bastard Vinny first.

Down with free speech! Down with free markets! People should check with me first, before they spend their money!

Seriously though, good luck with all your endeavors -- as long as they don't harm anyone. Keep setting goals, and keep achieving! It's the true source of happiness.

I [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]take it back. Chris Gordon has to cover a much more important story. Unfortunately there were several military helicopter crashes overseas in Iraq or Afghanistan or both? Hoping and praying its not anyone I know and he doesn’t have to do an interview with people in this area. [/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]He said he would forward our "story" on to a couple other reporters. I will post if someone else picks it up.[/FONT][/COLOR]

With all this going on I curious to see how much tickets are selling for on stbhub and was very surprised how few tickets were left for tonights game. That can mean only one of two things. Either skin fans still want to see the team play and MNF would help that or Eagle fans have come in and purchased a punch of tickets. I guess we will see tonight.

I'm willing to bet it's the latter. Lots of Eagles fans in the area and it's a short drive to get down here. Tons of disaffected fans in D.C. these days.

Either way, the point being he never has to enter the District. The only point that I am trying to get accross is that this is a publicity stunt to make fans who support this feel better about what they are doing because they will see it. Dan Snyder will only see this if it makes the news and he actually watches it.

Maybe some skins fans will show up to boo on national TV. I'm kinda scared this could get ugly. I'll be embarrassed for our once proud organization.

I'd love to get a win on the Eagles tonight though. Being a realist, we lost to the Chiefs and almost to the Rams. We can't score TD's against the NFL's weakest. Stranger things have happened though.

Sense everyone here is now not supporting DS then I guess I'll be the only one watching the game drinking a cold beer and eating a few wings. I'll write up a report to post tomorrow. Does anyone here want me to report durn the game if we are winning so they can cut it on?

You know, I get the sense people may be beyond booing to prove their point. No one is really expecting us to beat Philly anyway. I think the Chiefs game was the final straw.

Now there's a lot of football left, but it would take a helluva winning streak for folks to genuinely start cheering for the Redskins anytime soon.

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

Maybe Joe Gibbs can partner with JKC Jr. and R. Hendricks to buy the team , as part of the deal Danny and Vinnie can stay on as water boys :)

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

I am sooooooooooooooo sick of the football media, commentators and the really ignorant fans who continue to give Snyder the benefit of the doubt in his ownership/GMship of this great organization. Tonight the chumps on MNF basically spoke about Snyder as a victim of the team's troubles...it always starts w/ the bullshit phrase "An owner who really wants to win..." or something similar. As if every owner in the league doesn't really want to win!

Well that statement by itself is true and they also talked about the turn over of coaches and other negative things about DS owning the team. how much do you really expect them to say?

You don't suppose it's a cyclical type of argument do you? as people like you become more arrogant in the approach he becomes more arrogant in his response. Yes calling for a sign that says "sell OUR team danny boy" is as arrogant action. One it uses a demeaning diminutive of his real name. Two, it assumes ownership of something that is legally his (whether you like it or not) even if it is a public commodity.
Arrogance and contempt breeds more arrogance and contempt. Dan Snyder needs to get a clue, but so do those who are following your lead.

I said it once before and I will say it again, the success of your campaign only makes Snyder moving the Redskins away more likely. It does nothing to impact the team's duress in a positive way.

At best you would succeed in a pyrrhic victory. but please keep playing your pipe, I am sure the masses will follow you.

As for what can and should be done. The same thing that has worked with franchises like the Colts, Patriots, Seattle, San Diego all who suffered bad seasons before their owners got it right. Patience, support, and A LOT of beer!

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

Another idea, based off Mattys Glory day thread. Why not form protests of some sort using positive images. Videos of RFK rocking. a video montage of the SB years. OR a bus banner that says something along the lines of "Dan - Remember SBXVII" or "Dan - Legends are made not bought". Maybe 4 different banners, one with each SB number and the 4th with a motto. All I am saying is maybe we fans can express a positive change message, instead of petty whining messages.

Just sayin'

[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]Look sometimes the best way to get attention through advertising is to do something controversial.
