Sell OUR Team Danny Boy - DC Metro Bus Ads

[mlmpetert]

Just got a email from Mike Wise. Tune into 106.7fm, he's going to mention us.

Thanks everyone, keep spreading the word.

Snyder has never spoken to the media during the season, so at least he's been consistent with that. It's not something new.

I'm not really pro your efforts and said I would send a donation because I accussed you something that was not true. I'm not sold on the fact this will do any good but I said I would send a donation so I will.

What is the difference between scrutiny and pettiness? Is all scrutiny petty?

Not at all. Scrutiny would be looking at the moves of the past, and making criticisms - preferably constructive. Movements like FireDanSnyder, or sellOURteamDannyBoy, in which the comments are both personal, and the actions are impossible/highly unlikely fall into pettiness. NO ONE, not mImpetert or mImdub, or anyone else with any level of rational thinking believes DS will sell the Redskins in his lifetime. He would more likely move than to give them up, and if he really wanted to be petty (which he would) he could make another team moving here very difficult. Again, he has not reached a no ego stage, and is petty.

or in terms of definitions:
Scrutiny: n., pl., -nies.

1. A close, careful examination or study.
2. Close observation; surveillance.

vs.

pet·ty (pt)
adj. pet·ti·er, pet·ti·est
1. Of small importance; trivial: a petty grievance.
2. Marked by narrowness of mind, ideas, or views.
3. Marked by meanness or lack of generosity, especially in trifling matters.
4. Secondary in importance or rank; subordinate. See Synonyms at trivial.
5. Law Variant of petit.

i havent read many comments in this thread to know what the general consensus is, but i think the whole idea for this campaign is completely stupid, other than the fact that some proceeds are donated to charity. 10 bus ads? really? THAT's going to make any kind of difference? DUMB. Oh, and "Sell OUR Team Danny Boy" is a completely retarded slogan. Whoever came up with it is a moron.

At least they're doing something about it. It's there time and effort. I haven't donated money (cause I'm a poor college student) but I do respect the pains they're going through to show that they care.

It's easy to sit there and bitch and point out why it's dumb to try, blah blah. But it's something. Which is a whole lot better than nothing. Sometimes progress can be made by just making the tiniest ripple in the system.

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing"

Even if I don't think it'll work, I at least respect that they're upholding that mindset. More power to ya, mlmp and crew.

One of my favorite quotes!

If DS were "evil" that might apply. It certainly is a great quote. In this case DS is simply misguided/moronic rather than evil incarnate. My case has not been to put down the efforts these guys are making, but asking if the actions will produce the actions they, and we, want to see. I say they won't, not only that, they will foster more bad behavior by DS.

To match your quote with another equally qualified quote:
"The road to Hell is paved with good intentions"

I would hope that if they do raise the $8000 they would take a minute and reflect on the outcome they want and see what actions they could do that would possibly sway the momentum in that direction, rather than blindly say this is what we are doing. Isn't that the same philosophy as DS? I said it, I'm doing it, results be damned.

mImpetert gets a lot of credit for taking this on, and I hope that it will be something he will remember positively for the rest of his life. Kudos to him and his team for that. I just hope the results, intended and unintended, don't end up hurting the Skins in DC.

Agreed, I think that they rushed into this idea and momentum keeps them thinking that it's the right message.

Props for doing something and getting the coverage though. A clever website could've gotten the same coverage likely.. or a little guerrilla marketing around DC

I actually think this is pretty cool.

I also think that in his twisted, naive mind, Snyder thinks that his moves have been good, and that everyone else is to blame, a la Norv Turner. Maybe this will wake him up a tad bit, and know that there is indeed discourse and distaste for his and his FO's moves the past 7-8 years. Fans do have a voice, and its neat to see some of em expressing their love and concern for this franchise in this way.

Good Luck guys, I would give some money, but as a single dad with 2 kids, the army doesnt pay E6's that much. Wish I could pitch in 20 bucks tho........again, good luck!

I agree with you Dynamite. I am pro their cause but at they are doing something instead of just sitting and complaining.
