GatorEye Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 OK I'm admitting right of the bat this is a cross post, so you can ban me if you want but some things are worth fighting for and I thought this deserved it's own thread. Monk deserves a message: "Art, While it's not official, the football world and Redskin fans know you're a Hall of Famer." I'd love to see it in one of these three places, from most to least expensive I'm guessing. 1) In SI, since 2 of their guys were probably most responsible for keeping him out. 2) Flying from a banner plane circling the HOF game. 3) In the WP. I'm in with cash. Anyone support it or have a way to make it a reality? I'm down in FL, but I'm hoping someone back up in DC might have some connections that might make it easier to make something happen. WE MUST DO SOMETHING!

Sebowski Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Love the idea. I am in. I think the best thing to do (maybe do both) is too do an actual protest at the induction. Picket line, signs, a petetion, and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redskins4ever Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Art Monk deserves to go to the Professional Football Hall of Fame. Why is he keep getting slighted like this? All Art did was break records and set them during his career. He's a Hall of Famer to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm down in FL, but I'm hoping someone back up in DC might have some connections that might make it easier to make something happen. WE MUST DO SOMETHING! How about starting an OFFICIAL online petition & start with here & other Redskins message boards. Post the link to the petition so everyone can sign it. You could easily get 5000 sigs from just here, I would think. E-mail it out to everyone you know & just send it around. Then you e-mail SI with the petition (& whoever else needs to see it). I'm sure you can figure out something to say to SI without any help, so I'll leave that part up to you! I know it'll come after the HOF inductions, but it's something to think about.

We need a good old-fashion live in-person petiton during the ceramony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GatorEye Posted February 6, 2005 Author Share Posted February 6, 2005 My point was that the chance of us swaying some of these idiots directly is probably pretty slim. Although I generally don't like Wilbon, he does get his point across however wrong it may be. If he was arguing for Monk (and certainly not that anyone who is a HOF voter should need the argument presented to them, because I assume they are supposed to be a knowledgable football person) and he couldn't sway them, then I'm not sure what it will take. My thoughts were to show Monk and everyone else that we feel he is a HOF'er and how idiotic it is that he isn't in the HOF. And maybe others will take up his cause as well. Maybe it will get some extra pub for him. Perhaps the indirect approach may work, because it sure seems like the direct approach doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
