bird_1972 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Monday....mail it to the Skins...and another outlet of your choice. I think we need to go with ESPN if we want this story to really gain traction. Skins fanbase is national, not just regional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, do ESPN too. But don't skip on the local. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@DCGoldPants Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 Buford, have you considered an official "Turn in your fan card" website or facebook page? My intention here was to make it viral. Not central. If you want to do that, I'd join the FB page. In my head, I see a booth across the street from the park in Ashburn with Fans turning in their cards, and TV there to interview those folks (and me watching from home).

Flycoach Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I think it's pointless as Snyder could give a rat's ass about it. He understands money, plain and simple. This will only give sports radio and the national media more fodder to make fun of the skins AND their fans... Just my 2 cents worth... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hostile Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Hello Skins fan. Some of you may know me from cowboyszone.com, and if you do you know my feelings about your team. However, I feel the censorship of signs and t-shirts at your stadium is just about the most offensive thing I have read about happening in the NFL in a very long time. I believe the NFL Commissioner, Mr. Goodell, needs to put a stop to it. To that end I sent him the following e-mail. Here's his e-mail address if you want to contact him as well. roger.goodell@nfl.com Dear Commissioner Goodell:As you can clearly see by my e-mail address and my signature line, I am not a fan of the Washington Redskins. Quite the contrary, I am a Cowboys fan and I hate the Redskins. However, I cannot in good conscience watch what is going on with regards to Washington Redskins fans and not speak up. Please sir, look at these two articles. Redskins Ban All Signs at Fed Ex Behavior Change: Skins Tees at Fed Ex Their fans are threatened with revocation of their season tickets if they refuse to comply? The are forced to turn their shirts inside out? How is this good for the game? There is no Freedom of Speech for Redskins fans. I may not agree with them on their team, but sir, this is offensive. If something goes over the line, yeah I can see it. I can see removing outright vulgar signs. But in this case the only thing over the line here are the Gestapo tactics Mr. Snyder is employing. If you as the Commissioner don't come down on him hard regarding these policies then I do not understand what your function is as Commissioner. You shouldn't need a Cowboys fan to defend Redskins fans to know this is wrong. I am hoping you will do the right thing before our government has to intervene. I believe they should if you don't. Mike Here's hoping you get back your freedom of speech at Fed Ex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
