Let's Do Something For Art.
I posted this on the Skins Insider blog, and I post it here as a real, legitimate idea:
Why don't we funnel our anger at Art's snub into a project that not only lets Art know what he means to us, but also does some good in the community, and further serves as a reminder of what 81 means to Redskins fans? Rather than just posting angry messages, let's show Canton and those boneheads in the media that #81 and his fans are on another level from guys like "White Lines" Irvin. Let's do something with Habitat DC, or find a kids rec center that needs help. Let's put our money and time where our mouths are and represent Art the way he represented all of us Burgundy and Gold-loving fans when he played: by getting something done in the trenches. I've already contacted Tom K. of Monk4TheHall.com (the guy who put the great YouTube video campaign together) and he's in. Who else is with me? What do you guys think? |

Re: Let's Do Something For Art.
BTW, if enough people pledge their time, help, and/or donations to get something going, we're going to need a home on the 'Net to organize. Matty and the Warpath admins, what say you?

Re: Let's Do Something For Art.
BTW, if you're interesting in helping out, please just make a note in your post here, that you're willing to contribute time, a small financial donation, or both.

Re: Let's Do Something For Art.
Wow, I have to admit I expected a pretty rabid response to the idea of actually doing something. I guess it's easier to sit on our butts and whine.

Re: Let's Do Something For Art.
Good idea Dgack. I would like to do something as well.
However, I would like to do something that could possibly help him with the HOF. While it is a noble cause to donate to a charity, I don't think that helps his cause. Does anybody have any idea what the possibility of joining forces with some of the other Skins sites, and Redskin land in general to form a union to deliver a message to Canton??? I don't know what something like that would take, or how it would be recieved

Re: Let's Do Something For Art.
what about writing a petition, how many people do you think would have to sign it in order to make an impact?

Re: Let's Do Something For Art.
Let me talk to Charles Mann and Art (yeah, cause that's how I roll) and see if there's something we can tie-in with their Good Samaritan Foundation. They tend to be slow to respond so it may take a little while
