Denial of free speech @ games?

The P.G. County police know more about this type of thing than Snyder's rent-a-cops, so he might want to consider enlisting their help in this effort.

From a facilities point-of-view, the sign police could just set up rows of sanitized porta-potties near the turnstiles. This would provide a private, clean, and safe environment the fans who are strip-searched.

I'm not suggesting that any significant number of fans should be strip-searched. That would be ridiculous! Of course, no premium seat ticket-holders should be searched - they are the most loyal fans and they pay too much for their seats to be delayed at the stadium entrances. And only one percent or less of the people in the cheap seats should be asked to step into a porta-potty to be strip-searched. Fewer still should be asked to drop their drawers and bend over for a more thorough search for possible offensive signage hidden on their bodies.

This should provide a safer and more enjoyable stadium experience for the vast majority of fans who are not detained by police and strip-searched prior the game.

Strip search fans? Are you kidding??

Yes, strip-search them! But it wouldn't be as bad as it sounds. It would only be done in the most respectful manner, the sign police would wear latex gloves, and they would try to have female sign-police officers available to strip-search female fans whenever possible.

Some felt the crackdown on sign display. many of which were not offensive in any way, is one way to discourage the polarization of discontent being exbibited by fans against management.

While many of the signs had nothing to do with disconted fans, the idea is in furtherence of times to come in the event the team does not improve, and the chorus gets louder with more and more people becoming involved. It could be considered as a way of staving off future situations they deem problematic. Therefore the simplest way to deal with something that might become even more embarassing in the future is to just ban all signs.

The Little Emporer has no clothes but he still runs a tight ship. Imagine the thought of how far we could proceed in an effort to attach signs or decals to Metro Buses, that would truly be interesting to witness if it were ever permissable.

Us season ticker holders make it possible for others to watch the games on TV in the privacy of their own homes. That's been one consolation for me over the years, knowing that through fans like myself we help make it possible for other fans who are not fortunate enough to be able to attend the games to view them just the same.

Well there's a pretty easy all-around solution to the problem...STOP GIVING SNYDER ANY OF YOUR MONEY. It would be truly wonderful to see the stadium even half-empty later this season.

If things continue this way it probably will be, minus the Giants and Cowboys game, then it'll look like the Meadowlands and Texas Stadium

I hope that popular media other than the Post hops all over this.

I dont think we will be needing any "Are the Redskins the classiest organization in the NFL?" threads anymore.

And there you have it, USA Today....

Redskins fans aim vitriol at Daniel Snyder as team's heavy-handed tactics questioned - The Huddle: Football News from the NFL - USATODAY.com

and...

^Is that laughing stock thread still going on? These about articles should help answer the question of why.

The fact that any of us continue to support this team, in spite of the owner, just goes to show how much the team means to us. It is easy to support them when they are winning, and easy to run like rats when they aren't. Anyone who switches off there team because times are dark(and I don't recall them darker in the last 40 years) was never really a fan at all.

Now, I will just sit back and wait for Dangina to publish his book, "My Struggle"
