Boss_Hogg Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Snyder's goons threw out this sign just disgusting, :doh: One of his goons mentioned that the signs would "obstruct views." I missed half the game because of beer salesmen running up and down the stairs. This is my opinion of obstructed view: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

genesys Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 This is truly pathetic. What's the point of going to FedEx field if you are going to be bossed around. Dan is losing his audience, fans, and market share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtyquinn Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 Isn't it interesting that I've been ranting about this for 3 weeks and as the orignal poster I was soundly mocked for my anger about the censorship at FedEx and now the national media has picked up on it.

rlhjr34 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I wonder if Snyder has been watching tonight's Packers game. I didn't see any medical staff nearby when a fan was holding up their "We Still Love you Favre" sign. I guess there isn't a big fear of paper cuts there, or some other fan getting their eye poked out. I guess they just don't have any fear at Lambeau field. Gee who would have known you can not only make a sign and have it in a stadium, but also promote something negative towards your team at the same time. Didn't see any security taking his sign away after that. I guess it could have been worse they could have held up something like a greeting to a soldier overseas. Snyderatto is a dictatorship that must be stood up to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark The Homer Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 ...Snyderatto is a dictatorship that must be stood up to.Yeah, but you can't blame Cerrato for the new sign and banner policy. That's all Dan Snyder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Yeah, but you can't blame Cerrato for the new sign and banner policy. That's all Dan Snyder. 100% Truth. As bad as Vinny is....he's still a product of Snyder. Not the other way around. This backfired on a national level for Snyder....and I couldn't be happier about that.

WSHRedskins3ATLBraves3 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Yeah, but you can't blame Cerrato for the new sign and banner policy. That's all Dan Snyder. You can blame Cerrato for putting out a product on the field that forced the new sign and banner policy into place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaGhost Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 i completely agree with boss_hog above... there are seats that this jerk of an owner sells tickets for that are behind support columns... that's more obstructive than any paper sign... believe me, i've actually sat in them. if he bans signs for this reason he needs to ban those freaking obstructed seats..... i am so sick and tired of this little napoleon and the way he is ruining this once proud franchise.

Mark The Homer Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 What really bothers me about the new sign policy is not the rule itself, but the evidence that Snyder really does act impulsively and emotionally. It is a stupid rule, and it was a stupid decision (not ignorant mind you - but stupid - as in borne of a stupid mind), and it obviously does far more damage than good. And yet he enacted it and he enforced it because he was in a panic. And that's just one obvious example among many, many other examples that are not so obvious but which have kept this team as basement dwellers in the division going into a second decade.

Hard to do though since he's his lapdog so many times though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlinginSammy HOF '63 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 and what can we do about it? nothing except quit giving the man our money. Concessions, tickets, merch, etc, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@DCGoldPants Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 See, I feel this is the perfect storm. Agree on not spending any more money. But people shouldn't be asked to throw away their tickets. I think this is the chance to keep the heat on Mr. Snyder until at least the end of the season. It would easy for after some time hiding, for the weight to lift. If there aren't any other changes to policies, there won't be as much talk about it on the National and Local shows. There needs to be a way to keep this story live through the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlinginSammy HOF '63 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I agree that people shouldn't be expected to not use tickets this season. But people can do without a soda, beer and nachos for 4-5 hours and can surely bypass the overpriced team store at the stadium. Stop bying merchandise. Break out the sandknit jersies we all had back in the 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eat a good meal in town before the game (yes, contrary to what the media says, it does not take 2 hours to get to FedEx from downtown DC on game day). Haven't bought Redskins clothing in probably 6 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be curious to know how sales have been in previous bad years compared to this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
