Re: Petition to Move Redskins back to Washington DC.

I don't get what the point of the petition is. Even if you got the amount of signatures you wanted and sent it to Snyder, he'd probably just use it for toilet paper.

Snyder uses only the finest silks as to wipe his royal ass. Didn't you know that?

Is there a way to build a new stadium but limit it to like 60,000 seats, and make it so that season ticket holders need to take a test and yearly loyalty oaths before they get their tickets?

Re: Petition to Move Redskins back to Washington DC.

Ok, guys. I'm not dumb, I don't expect him to one, even care about this, or two, just to pick up and move next season. It's really just saying we'd like to see our next stadium back in DC and sooner rather than later. I'm fully aware we are in a lease at FedEx Field and it will be time before plans to move back to DC can begin but this is just to see how many signatures we can get. Even if it wouldn't work, it'd be cool to see a petition with 100,000 saying we want back in Washington D.C.

Snyder will not ever think about going back to DC proper. Why would he? Outside of the White House, Capitol, Mall, DC almost rivals Detroit in being a shitty, dangerous locale. DC is the only city, other than Gary Indiana, that has ever unseated Detroit as the murder capital of America in the last 20 years. The only saving grace with Ford Field is that it is right across from the Wayne Co courts and Juvenille detention center and Greektown, the only safe spot in the city, as cops abound there.

Tough to do but I like the idea, maybe set aside one endzone or some part of of for the ultimately dedicated fans where they gotta take a test, they do this in Europe a lot. I feel like a move is possible mainly because landover wants the land back.

"I know it won't do anything. I just want to see how far we can take this. If the Ravens can get 60,000 we can get twice as much. Whynot give it a try since all it takes is 2 minutes from each person tos ign and 5 minutes from the creator."
