Shiv Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 "As if anyone needed another reason to hate Dan Snyder, it turns out that fans at FedEx Field have been getting served beer left over from a 2014 World Cup promotion. The **** isn't exactly fresh. The guys from Ball Hogs radio first took notice of the presence of old beer at the stadium during the team's home opener on Sept. 14:" http://deadspin.com/washington-keeps-serving-fans-skunked-world-cup-beer-1639512311 How cheap can this organization be? How much do fans shell out on average for game day, just to have cheap penny pinching practices shoved right in their faces? Is there any aspect of this organization that doesn't suck? I haven't bought merchandise in years, I refuse to go to fedex. If you are truly tired of this corporate bull**** team that used to be a proud franchise, then hit them where it hurts. Don't buy merchandise, don't go to games, and don't buy overpriced, skunked beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkB452 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Eric Cartman was right. If you give the Washington Redskins money, they will give you nothing. What do you expect from Snyder? In 2006, they were serving old peanuts from Independence Air after they went out of business.....they must be buying concessions from the dollar store or something.  Best thing to do is check the beer before you hand over your money....then again. IMHO, paying $9.50 a beer is crazy to begin with.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I have a buddy who owns a beer distributor and my understanding is that NFL teams basically get the beer they sell for free. It's basically viewed as advertising for the beer companies. (Though that may just be true on the kegs). Â So....take that as you will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss_Hogg Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I'm starting to see a trend with the food concessions at FedEx:  -Stale peanuts from a defunct airline (Independence Air) -Beer vendors selling bottles in the bathroom -Selling beer from June  I shutter to think what kind of chemicals are used for the chicken fingers, fries, burgers, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Excuses Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Last time I gave my money to this team was a Laron Landry jersey in 2007. I was also 17 years old and still delusional. I can't believe people hand over their hard earned money to this franchise. Let alone welcome them home from away games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't kill Snyder for that.  Serving old food....now that's pure Snyder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsFTW Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Somebody has to pay that damned Haynesworthless contract. Â Now we find out that 1/2 of it is paid by other teams fans invading our stadium that none of us want to visit. Â Who's complaining? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I'll wager Snyder doesn't even know about this.  Just because he happens to own the team doesn't mean to say he knows every aspect of everything that goes on. Probably just the catering guys using up the stock. Which doesn't make it right by any means. Just not necessarily been brought to the owners attention.  Hail.

TradeTheBeal! Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 We are in hell right now gentlemen and Dan Snyder is in fact the devil. Â Best case scenario is he moves the team to LA and after a few years the NFL grants us a new franchise in Virginia. Â Let us pray... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFi Skins Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 'Skunked' is not necessarily true... I worked as an alcoholic beverage distributor for some time... Only Kegs can technically go 'skunk' because they are not pasteurized... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gortiz Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 this is the problem, we do nothing in a classy, organized, correct way.  I know a little off, but look at how we kept Sam on way too long and are doing the same with Sonny.  It's an indictment on Snyder as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now? Local fans can't even bother to make up the majority of attendees at FedEx, from what I see on the highlight reels and hear on the radio (those Cruuuuuze chants last night were the worst).  Maybe I was wrong the other night. Maybe D.C. is starting to feel apathetic toward the Redskins.  But, once again, I live away from the area now, so I maybe completely wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 By the way, when I was 18, I worked in a concession stand at a big concer venue/ampitheatre. And I will always hate Deadheads because of it. But that's neither here nor there. Â My point is simple: anyone who eats a box of candy at one of those places is taking their lives into their hands. We put the large box of MMs under the counter in April. And were still pulling from that same box in September. And it was stored in the non-air-conditioned unit all summer long. Â M&Ms did not sell well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celticsalmon Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Snyder has been selling a "skunked" product on the field every season he's owned the team. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PF Chang Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Maybe I was wrong the other night. Maybe D.C. is starting to feel apathetic toward the Redskins.   If there's a substitute for "camaraderie" that has a negative connotation, that is what I'm sensing. There have been worse losses in the team's recent history. More embarrassing fan takeovers (Pittsburgh, MNF). But everyone, including myself, just seems totally defeated by this loss. Like even that Monty Python knight would give up, this isn't just a flesh wound anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
