Re: is there a way that we the fans can be heard???

Personally I think we could take inspiration from other disgruntled teams' fans' ideas, like for instance how we're organizing this DC billboard thing because of the Bills fans doing it. There are other ways we as a fanbase can voice our displeasure as well. If we could get enough people that go to the games behind it we could all march, and wear paper bags on our heads as we march. We couldn't get kicked out partly because we wouldn't be wearing paper bags in the stadium, and partly because as long as it was a civil march, similar to the ones they did in Detroit to get Millen fired, than it would be a peaceful protest that would be handled civilly.

The only thing though would how would the fanbase organize such a mass protest for the people actually going to the game? Then again you wouldn't need tickets just to march, you'd only need tickets to get into the game.

Yeah, but you need major media exposure, and to drill it in enough to make people into sheep... out of the 90k+ that go to the game, how many read the message boards?

10k of them? I have no idea. I'd love to see it happen but word would have to be spread. But the great thing is you don't need people that have tickets, you just need Redskins fans that want things to change bad enough that they are willing to drive out there and participate in this march. I don't think that would happen but a man can dream.

No more Redskin merchandise for me, that's the only way that I can have a voice.

Maybe...

Step one: Fire racquetball boy toy

Step two: Hire competent GM

Step three: Step aside and be patient

Step four: Go back to step three

And perhaps a burgundy background? More text might cost more but just a suggestion.

Not having cash flow is all this man understands. If you don't buy concessions if you go to the game, if you don't buy merchandise, and if you don't go to the games he might get the message. Voting with your wallet is the biggest way to change somone's mind about something.

Could you imagine though if spending billboards all around DC actually got Snyder's attention and he said "Ok, I'm here to listen. What do you fans want me to do?"

"Fire Vinny!"

"Done. Now what?"

"Hire a real GM"

"Ok. Who?"

"Chris Polian" "No, Eric DeCosta" "No, Bruce Allen" "No, Mike Holmgren" "No, Marty Schottenheimer" "No, Floyd Reese" ...

"Um ok. What about Zorn"

"Fire him too"

"Ok. Who should I hire"

"Jon Gruden (with Bruce Allen)" "No, let the GM pick him" "No, bring in Brian Schottenheimer (with Marty!) "No, we need Holmgren"...

"Uh huh. And Jason Campbell"

"Keep him. It's the line that sucks" "The line isn't the problem. Campbell's got to go." "Trade him" "Cut him now!"

And so on

I guess the only message could be

Snyder: Have a trusted consultant find you a competent GM, let him make ALL decisions.

doesn't really flow off of the tongue.. and lord knows who would be a trusted consultant to Danny

If you want to be heard, go to ipetitions.com and enter "snyder" to access and sign at least two good petitions calling for Danny to sell the team.
