petey hodge Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Posted here for posterity (or if Twitter takes it down) you gotta hand it to them Snyders. They may not be good at football, but they’re pretty damn good at ****ing things up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where else could the picture have been taken? Maybe there’s 2nd sign that says Sean Taylor road, near there but not in front of the porta potties. Idk. But the street corners are usually where the street signs go, right? maybe there was a way to get around that. I dont know. Bro. The "porta" is short for "portable." It was for a picture. Literally for a 60th of a second in terms of image. They could've just moved them out of frame and had a "21" banner (think the backgrounds they have for post-game conferences with sponsors/team name, obviously those are portable, too). This was a colossal failure of such an insanely simple thing. I cannot tell you what a spectacular **** up that could've been avoided with literally ten minutes of planning. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve tried helping pick those porta potties up before. It actually takes a forklift to transport them, and the forklift at the stadium isn’t always available at any time. So no, it isn’t quite that simple. Take this from someone who is actually involved with the operations department.

Take this from someone who is actually involved with the operations department. What do you think these porta potties are made out of, lead? Especially before they're used? You can use a dolly to move them literally ten feet. Eighty feet total. You know, like our offense in the second half. Even if they required a forklift, from a project management perspective, you allocate your resources by importance. Always. Just from a psychological point of view, you do what matters to you. This is just demonstrative of how poorly this was planned because of how little it mattered. It's a literal photo op. They couldn't even remove the literal **** from the background or bring in a backdrop. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
profusion Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Maybe just take a picture at a time the porta-johns aren't there? I don't know...I suppose that requires more than the 20 minutes' planning that went into this whole sad affair. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are TVs that have been turned on their side. What any smart photographer would have done would to have done was simply switch them around. Meaning to take the pic with the ****ters behind him/her instead of the family/friends. That way, the actual friggin road that's being named after Sean is in the picture as well. ****ing simpletons... 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then, unless there is one on the other side, there would be no Sean Taylor Rd sign in the picture. I mean, roads by themselves, ... They're just not that photogenic.

Shows how much I was paying attention in New York and Philly 😂 Regardless, there were a LOT of ways that people who are just fans and in no way planners for the WFT who are able to figure this **** out in ten minutes. Absolutely pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 With the months of "planning" that went into this, there certainly wouldnt have been a way to tell the porta-potty supplier not to put them next to the sign. Impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
