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

Hey, if you guys want to wear bags, you just gotta fold them up and put them in your pocket when you enter the stadium. Also, be prepared to be kicked out once you begin wearing them. But, if that happens, make the biggest scene possible!

Makes me think of a funny thought I had before:
Wear a replica referee's uniform to the game and bring a lot of yellow penalty flags with a little sand in them. Then, at some point during the game -- like when Hall whiffed or we got the safety -- start throwing them out onto the field like a madman. Also, and this is really important, make sure you get hammered beforehand. Let me know how it goes!

Someone is trying to have all fans show up in black on Sun. to show the fans discontent. If this helps at all in the form of doing something.

You guys hear about people wearing black to the games? - hailRedskins.com Fan Board

If you or anyone else organize the website and paypal stuff I promise to donate $20 to it.

Do they have billboads in DC though? I know Fairfax doesnt. Maybe in MD on 495 by the stadium?

I think a simple chant Sunday would work. Any ideas?

"Hey Vinnie. You suck!"

or

"Yo, Yo, Vinnie's gotta go"

I know protest by going out and buying a dallas jersey and everyone show up wearing Dallas stuff. How about protest by buying a beer at the game then dumping it out. I know don't go to game or use your allready paid for tickets.

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

I just spoke to Jay at USA Outdoor Media, and the whole DC area is protected with beautification laws. However; there are still billboards available that were grandfathered in. Basically all this means is low supply in a area with high demand, so it will cost 4-5k for the whole process (including making the advertisement). I think raising that in DC would be easy if Buffalo can pull it off pretty quickly.

I don’t have any website experience and the people I know are pretty amateurish. Is anyone willing to put a website together?

I'd be willing to do web work.. I'll try to get some graphics guys on board -- not really my strong suit, but I could probably host, code

Fundraising — Raise Money Online

I think this is the way to go. It allows you to set a fundraising goal (ie 5k), everyone pays via paypal and if we CANT raise enough everyone gets their money back. Plus being a third party takes away a lot of the ifyness of giving money over the internet.

I am waiting for a detailed quote from Jay, if its reasonable im going to start the fund. Anyone interested in helping out send me pm. Anyone with any legal background please chime in about what not to do (ie use the Redskins name, logo, colors, Dannys name, anything).

My hope is that we have something together by the Monday Night Eagles...
