atlantaskin Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I was completley on board with the Haynesworth signing. Until we lost Jason Taylor. It is crystal clear that this organization has no plan, no long-term goal and no clue. Redskins fans deserve better than what we are getting. Dan Snyder needs to fire Vinny and get out of the way. This organization is a disaster. How can we, the loyal fans, exert some pressure? Clearly giving up tickets would not be effective because the Redskins will always sell tons of tickets. Nope, the way to do this is to boycott concessions. If we want to hit the Danny where it hurts, in the pocket, the way to do this is stop buying beer and hotdogs and Johnny Rockets at the game. I'm starting my movement now. One game this year. It won't be a divisional game, but one game this year we should boycott concessions so that Dan Snyder knows that the loyal fans are tired of the mediocrity and the fly by the seat of your pants ownership. It's time for some real football people to be in control. Who's on board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFKFedEx Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 If nine people from ES don't buy beer at one game then Vinny will get fired for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santana_4_prez Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Eh...I say buy all the concessions you want and support the team you love. And quit complaining! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stugein Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Yeah, not to be a spoilsport, but he wouldn't notice. Even if every ES regular who goes to the games coordinated and did this, it wouldn't even be a blip on the concessions books radar against the sales from the other 90k in the stadium.

SkinSabbath Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 First of all, don't you understand, the concessions, the merch, the parking; it all goes to the TEAM. I know the beer is expensive, the T-Shirts are 50 dollars, but at least i know most of the proceeds go (in SOME way) back to the team that I love. Second, you don't know what the 'Skins master plan is! Give them a chance to show you what they can do with the cap room. This is a premature rant. Wait and see what happens this season.

Blackest Eyes Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 lol if the release of Jason Taylor, who did nothing for us last season, makes you so mad, I would hate to see what happens if someone of value is released. Good lord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor From DA U Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Ok..so we lost our 2nd and 6th round pick..but who cares we cant seem to draft anyone good anyways!....I'm all for cuttin JT. Now he can go back to dancing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atlantaskin Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 1. I will not stop complaining. This team is a joke. It isn't just because they let Taylor go. It's because signing Haynesworth (and releasing Springs, not Taylor to do so) makes sense only if you keep Taylor. The Taylor situation should have been handled before they committed $100 million to Haynesworth. 2. I agree, nine people won't make a differnence. But 90,000 sure would. I don't understand why people continue to support this lunacy. We have been totally mediocre for ten years. If you take our record this decade, it's like four games under .500. Isn't that worse than sucking for three years and being great for one? We are simply a mediocre franchise and that is boring and lame. This owner has ruined this franchise. I am supporting the team I love. Anyone who continues to simply put money in Dan Snyder's pocket is complicit in his destruction of the Redskins.

Obviously he didn't so he was a waste of 8 million dollars. Now we have more cap room for next year and this years draft signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monte51Coleman Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 You seem to have issues with the team ridding itself of aging players that have a hard time staying on the field. There are many things that Snyder can be rightfully blamed for. That's not one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlantaskin Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 I'm just tired of loving this team and watching one or two people destroy it without a clue. Everyone can sit back and just let Snyder and Cerrato destroy the team, or we can try to do something. Boycotting concessions one day would at least feel good.
