Address it to Goodell or other owners. The NFL has... interesting... rules about owners that aren't "original owners" and Washington is a market the NFL has a very strong interest in being in. You want change? Don't go after Allen. Go after Snyder. Don't direct your campaign at Snyder - direct it to the owners and goodell. You have to show it by boycotting products. The other owners don't care if Dan Snyder mismanages the team, so long as he is making money, because there is profit sharing in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But go ahead, blow up Bruce Allen's phone, I'm sure it will sway his opinions on things. The situation was mishandled, resulting in public embarrassment, botched relationship with our qb. I know my message probably won't even be heard. But the chance of making a difference in numbers is worth a shot for me. Sitting on my bum and accepting the same old **** isn't OK at some point. I'm not advocating the torch and pitchfork method. But I think a civil phone call is more than warranted, and what you are doing is feeding into the suppression and censorship. I'm not down with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, partly, they do care about the money aspect. You're wrong about other owners not caring. Just flat out wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right that the massive majority of NFL profits is from advertising revenue, and asking people to stop watching is too much, but I still think boycotting merchandise and tickets would make a statement.

The Redskins would have to drag the other teams down financially in order for them to care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like believing the NBA doesn't care about the Lakers sucking, and subsequently don't exercise influence about it. You want change? Direct your campaign at the NFL. They're paying more attention than you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if we dug a moat, around Dan Snyder's house? But we did it in secret, so that the next morning, when he woke up... he would fall into the moat/water that he didn't expect to be there!!

One doesn't sue grandma's for profit....Snyder can't stand humiliation, even perceived, embarrass him relentlessly in every possible manner.

It's not that damn hard people. Don't buy tickets, jerseys, hats. Stop paying this man for 20 years of a **** product. I know I can do it. The question is can you guys do it. Even if it's one game. No one show up in mean no one. It shouldn't be hard it has social media. It'll be another off year. This has gone on for so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
