Enough Already! (Snyder Bashing Merged)
Anyone else tired of reading article after article about posters in the stadium? Steinberg must have 10 blog posts about the damn signs! As much as Danny and company deserve it, the Washington Post has made this a petty pissing match and I expect a little more from a newspaper.  As far as the fans go....If your fed up STOP buying tickets, STOP buying merchandise, STOP buying food and drinks at the stadium....if your not willing to do that........... STOP complaining!

Re: Enough Already!
Well Tim, for those of us that got screwed in this economy by things way out of our control...not paying for the tickets is not an option with a monster of a team owner sending his attorneys after us...in the end, it would cost us so much to defend ourselves that we are being raped by Snyder and either way...we don't have the money to take care of our own.
His greed over whelms me when it's a choice with people over their families or his greed...
...naw...it's not enough, pour it on until he begs for mercy...then pour it on even harder till he sneaks out of town in the dead of night some day...with or with out the team...then we can sue him for it back...and if we're lucky...Danny will be standing on a street corner some day begging for hand outs...and no one will offer any.

Re: Enough Already!
I don't think Dan Snyder will have an epiphany, however he will take action if the revenue or asset declines in value.

STOP complaining! I haven't given the Skins a red cent in at least 3 years, can I complain? I gave up on Snyder a while ago, and it seemed like some idiots would keep lining his pockets every year and expect a different result. But now that the frontrunners have bailed too, its time to start piling on and see if we can make any real change happen.

Re: Enough Already!
I had read somewhere a while back where merchandising revenue nationaly had fell like 40% for Redskins stuff.from the look's of games I can only guess hopefully the attendance and sales in the stadium are down also.I know the amount of available tickets has sky-rocketed also because I got several calls saying I was now available for season tickets(I live in Kansas) which I applied for less then 5 year's ago. It's working but it's going to take time folks for Snyder to feel the pinch though. As noted above,all games should be boycotted,if you can sell your seat for a game or 2 or 3 to someone else coming in to cheer on their team to recoup some money,I'd say go for it. That sounds bad and people may question some fans loyality but the Skins simply are not a product worth watching and especially not spending your hard earned money on for this season.Once next season starts,hopefully thing's will turn around. As far as critisicm going towards Snyder by newspaper,the public,ESPN,etc..I say I hope it continues to pile on,perhaps out of embarrassment Snyder will get desperate enough to relinquish some control and let people in here that know how to run a NFL organization.Snyder deserves everything he's getting right now...keep shoveling folks..

Re: Enough Already!
I don't know about you all but I'm in in for the long haul, (and Snyder needs to know that too.) At this point none of us should care what others say about fan loyalty, YOU KNOW YOU ARE A FAN. and that's all that counts. Listen to do this right we need to be consistent. DON'T GIVE UP!!! I can see if hurting Snyder's pocket will release a player or two that I really didn't want to give up, but at this point there's nobody that I really care enough of to keep. BLOW IT UP!!! We can make that happen.

I agree 100%. I think the Washington Post thrives on all this negativity and I esp. dislike Sally J .

They're money is stuck with Snyder. If it's me and I'm cash locked into the decsion I'm at least going to get something for my money. The game is Tailgating and hanging out with other fans as well as watching a team play.
The Jersey and Trinkette money I absolutely agree with I'm not even getting them as gifts now.
There's nothing really left to discuss about the team but how bad they are. And they're bad because of the Owner.
(deleted historic militarty references) Bad leadership renders good people impotent.
Not being able to protest the leadership is fundamentally wrong in our culture. Snyder is telling these peole, who have shelled out for expensive tickets, to "SHUT UP". That's why it's a big deal. It's not enough already. Snyder is still the Owner.

So, sue me

Re: Enough Already!
Personally, I don't think they can write ENOUGH about the shoddy treament of fans. I'd like to see more of it in the national media. I'd like to see the NFL catch wind of it and understand the severity of the situation. If Snyder won't listen to the fans, maybe he will listen to the NFL.

What is with the Snyder bashing ?
What is with this Snyder bashing going on among some of you? Snyder is the type of owner any team would love to have. I'm tired of seeing weak Skins fans jumping on the Snyder bashing bandwagon started by fans of rival teams.

RE: What is with the Snyder bashing ?
Which other teams started this bashing you speak of? I must have missed when that happened. Any team would love having an owner with no football knowledge making the personnel decisions for the team.

Re: What is with the Snyder bashing ?
Snyder is the type of owner that fans of rival teams love to hate because he is young, driven, and does whatever it takes to win. And when he doesn't win, certain fans want to abandon him and join the Snyder bashing bandwagon started by fans of rival teams. How weak is that?

And obviously he hasn't done "whatever it takes". Getting out of the way and hiring football people is what it takes and thus far he hasn't done that.

Re: Enough Already! (Snyder Bashing Merged)
There was a time when the Jones' Cowboys stunk- one season going 1-15, winning the only game against Cook's Skins. You have to give him credit for persuading Gibbs to come back. No we didn't win another superbowl in those three seasons, but what else more could you have asked for? Not to mention having to deal with the murder of one of the team's star players. Give it more time before you talk about mutiny. Lets see who he brings in next year. Gruden or Shanahan would be great. Along with a good 1st round draft pick, the Skins will be looking a whole lot better. This isn't Steinbrener in New York, where its "cool" to bash the owner. It looks disfunctional, and will damage the team's reputation as one of the elites for many years to come if it gets out of hand.

Re: Enough Already! (Snyder Bashing Merged)
Part of owning a professional sports franchise is that you have a civic obligation. That is one of the reasons the NFL and its owners have a say in who owns the franchises and which communities get them(total say). If you treat your fans like garbage--you deserve to lose fans, but for many fans the connection is more than just a business transaction. People have a connection to teams that goes beyond ticket and merchandise sales, that often gets to shared family time, tradition, memory, and more. If you treat fans with disresect--you deserve the negative attention you will get and more. One way to get people to stop buying tickets is to publicize what a piece of %^&* way an owner treats his fans. One way that Snyder could get more favorable media coverage is to actually deserve it.

Snyder isn't a new owner who needs more time! He's had 10+ FRIGGING YEARS and he's done nothing right!! We will never be "eilite" again unless the team is sold or Danny becomes uninvolved with anything related to the football operations.

Um...no. Sorry. I have stopped going to games. I have turned in my season tickets and I have stopped buying merchandise. But hell if I am going to stop "complaining." I can complain all I want and intend to do so until Snyder does something. As for the Washington Post, I can't thank them enough for the articles exposing this franchise for what it has become. I hope they pile more on. I know I will be. Such a horrible fan, I know.

He's done nothing right? Its easy to say that looking back. Oh, he shoulda did this instead of that. He's done everything he could. Remember its the team that wins games, not the owner. All we need is the right coach and set of players.
