Sell OUR Team Danny Boy - DC Metro Bus Ads

[BigHairedAristocrat]

The problem I have with this is it makes all skins fans look like dellusional fools. I liken those involved in this project to religious extremists who engage in all manner of crazy behavior that only results in making all people who beleive in God seem like morons. The extreme and ridiculous manner in which they chose to spread their message marginalizes the belief itself. I agree with the underlying message mlm is trying to share - i beleive the redskins needed a complete overhaul of their front office structure. What i disagree with is the ridiculous manner in which the messgae was developed and executed.

Its like a boy who writes a girl a love note, attachs it to a rock, and throws it through her front window - the message was good, but the delivery sucked. mlm - your message was good, but your delivery sucked. Sorry.

First off I respect what your saying but I think most fans who saw this first smiled, then probably laughed, shook their head and then said "yeah that would be great if he did sell the team and Vinny was fired." And that was it..Cleveland: stadium walkout kickoff Monday Night Football, Buffalo with the billboard...these are protest as well so its not uncommon at this point. Sign on the truck was goofy and funny. I think to bring religious extremism into it is a little much....but if you do open your Football Bible to the Book of Redskins passage 4:20 it reads as follows:
And the football gods saidth: Thou shall not sign Jeff George, thou shall not sign Adam Archeleta nor Deon Sanders nor trade for Brandon Lloyd or Jason Taylor. Thou shall beware of Judas resembling coke-binge personal director and ye who rest of laurals of SF and Notre Dame experience.
Snyder spitting out that nasty apple now.

Makes all skins fans look like fools? No it doesn't. Losing and playing football the way we didi earlier this season makes us look like fools. Not this.

When Saints fans back in the day started donning paper bags over their heads nobody said anything about the fans. The creativity of this action brought national and international media attention to the sorry state of their team. It worked.
Why do you really care what other people think if us? As long as the team takes care of business, plays at a respectable level and the players behave themselves, I really do not care what others think of the Redskins and the fans. We can not control what others think.
Anything that brought media attention and thus Snyder's attention works.

Well I think it looks foolish asking an owner to sell the team. Shit, in Detroit they always asked for Matt Millen's head...even in Oakland they put a billboard demanding that Davis hire a GM. But whatever, I still think "Sell Our Team Danny Boy" is stupid.

And that was the problem I think most every critic of mImpetert's scheme was. It's one thing to call for change, and I was glad that they atleast added Fire Vinny to the actual sign, but another to personally attack and disrespect the owner of an NFL Franchise. that is what was wrong with this effort. But that criticism has been deflected because of the frustration with Dan Snyder.
