mtyquinn Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 The redskins changed their policy on fan signage as of this morning and banned all signs. I checked the FedEx Field policies last night and it said that banners were permitted but they could not be attached to the stadium itself or be mounted on poles. Today when we went through security they told us all signs are banned and made us throw them out. I had a sign that said "Love the Redskins, Hate the owner" and I also handed out over 100 small signs with Snyders picture with a circle and red slash through it out in the Green Lot F41. It seems to me that they changed this policy in order to avoid bad PR. The 1st step of any dictatorship when it feels threatened is to restrict free speech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madison Redskin Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Can I come to your house and put up a banner that says that your house is nice but you suck? Because if you won't let me, you're infringing on my 1st Amendment rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wanna hold a sign, sit on the sidewalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metskins Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Oh please, you guys are going to defend this BS? This isn't his HOUSE. It's a stadium, where 90K people go to root and express their opinions. How would you feel if they told you to stop booing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if you won't let me, you're infringing on my 1st Amendment rights. If you pay me $150 to get in my front door, and give me $10 for a beer and $13 for a sandwich you can call me anything you like. Oh, and you have to park a mile from my house as well.

HailGreen28 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 They have the right to do so. But anybody wanna disagree with the fact that Snyder is a gutless coward now? :evilg: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostofSparta Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Let's see, first amendment, first amendment.....ah, here it is. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. So I know I've lived in PA for the last year or so, but when did Dan Snyder join Congress? Otherwise it's not a first amendment violation, it's just an somebody doing what anybody who has private property has the right to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurrayH81 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 ROFL, did you honestly believe Danny boy was going to let the fans rank on him? If fans start wearing Dan Snyder Sucks t-shirts to games, they undoubtedly will make you buy a shirt to cover it up. Heck, he will probably over-ride any negative chanting directed towards him with enough stadium sound to draw a penalty if it comes to that as well.

Skins81a Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Man that is weak, Danny sure is a coward! But to be honest I cant believe people are still showing up for this mess. Make the banners out of sheets and roll them and hide them on your body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
