Champskins Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Posted at 12:36 PM ET, 12/20/2010 Redskins market McNabb to sell season tickets By Dan Steinberg [/url] Football organizations are wide-ranging outfits, with marketing and business and community-relations and football operations arms. You can't really expect the football people to tell the ticket people what they're doing.And yet still, you have to admit it's an odd sort of week when the coach benches his starting quarterback and says he can't guarantee his future with the franchise ON THE EXACT SAME DAY that the ticket people send out a solicitation letter inviting fans "to join head coach Mike Shanahan and quarterback Donovan McNabb for the 2011 season." http://voices.washingtonpost.com/dcsportsbog/2010/12/redskins_market_mcnabb_to_sell.html <--- click link for entire article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLongshot Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Yawn. They've been using McNabb and Shanahan to market the team all year long. No real news here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champskins Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 ^^understandable, but not the day he was benched. Marketing strategy needed to be changed or not sent out at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McD5 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Not a huge deal. Those marketing initiatives can take weeks to prepare. Especially if there is any printing to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I love the extent to which people will go to try to dig something up. Obviously it's an oversight with the decision happening 4 days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenic Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 This entire country is a crooked marketing campaign. Why would a top sports franchise be any different? I just wanta win.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFKFedEx Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Stable, intelligent, coorporations like most NFL franchises are smarter than this. If you're in charge of the Redskins ticket office, you find a way to scrap the "R You In?" campaign after the past weeks events. You're a billion dollar industry with top marketing talent at your disposal. The extent to which people around here will go to defend this boondoggle organization amazes me.
