Commanders Fans Staging a Home-Game Walkout Against the Cowboys

[Danny White]

I might have to get tickets to that game.:cunning:

Im probably going.

I cant wait.

that would be sweet since i'll most likely be there

I would love to go to this game.

Agreed man. No matter how bad it gets. You don't bail out on your team.

For all those going to the game, I'll be having my 7th Annual Beat the Skins Tailgate there.

We usually have good group of Cowboys fans there, and it should be a lot of fun.

I'll post more details as it gets closer, but in short we'll be starting about 4 hours before kickoff.

 

[NewJCowboy]

I have tickets to this game...so I would love to see them do it!

 

[burmafrd]

the PUBLIC HUMILIATION of such an event would hurt Danny Boy more then anything else with HIS ego. It would be front page news in the DC area, would be on all the local networks, ESPN would show it, could even make the News Networks. For an egomaniac like him, nothing is worse.

 

[Spectre]

does a "walk-out" really hurt Danny in any way?
You're still paying for tickets.

The only way to really make a change would be a "no-show". In other words, don't buy tickets. That hits em in the wallet... where it really hurts.

 

[JonJon]

ray:
Oh Please let this happen. Wow, if the Commander fans walked out during that game, that would be one of the most satisfying moments of the Commanders demise that I ever experienced. Puhleaaaase let this happen...

People have already bought the tickets for this year's games. If you want to do something THIS YEAR, then this is pretty good as far as I'm concerned.

Moving forward people can stop buying tickets, but for this year, it's not like these are tickets that are going to be bought on game day from Snyder.

 

[adbutcher]

Gawd it sux being a skin fan, lol.

 

[xpistofer]

This would be so funny to see if it came true. More Dallas fans in Fed-Ex than Commander fans would certainly be an embarrassment to Snyder.

http://voices.washingtonpost.com/dcsportsbog/2009/11/behavior_change_skins_fans_pla.html#more

so silly...I paraphrase:

"let's buy tickets and then watch the game on TV"...

yup, that'll teach him...:laugh2:

Copying this from another board, don't know the original source:

The Snyder/Cerrato Specific Embarrassments
1. Firing Norv Turner…at the Stadium…while the team was over .500 and in playoff contention
2. Firing 30 Commanders employees in his first month on the job
3. Charging Fans to Attend Training Camp
4. Obstructed View Seats!
5. Bingo!
6. “The Maroon and Black”
7. Snyder didn’t like what was being said on the Commanders Fan Message board, so he bought it
8. Snyder didn’t like what was being said on the local sportstalk radio station, so he bought it
9. Snyder heard Commanders fans occasionally had fun at Six Flags Parks, so he bought (and bankrupted) it
10. “Inside the Red Zone with Vinny Cerrato”
11. The Club Seats at FedEx – Its very inspiring to see a large section in the middle of the stands sparsely populated for every single game
12. The most expensive parking, concessions and tickets in the league
13. Al Saunders 700 page playbook
14. Snyder Suing Season Ticket Holders
15. Treating draft picks like most people treat pennies
16. The Commanders Trade Coles for Moss and take a $5 million dead money cap hit in the process
17. The Skins give up 3 draft picks (a first, third and fifth) to draft Jason Campbell
18. Hiring Jim Zorn as offensive coordinator…”Oh did we say coordinator, because we meant head coach.”

The Really Embarrassing Losses
1. 2009: Lost to Lions, who were 0-19 in the previous 19.
2. 2009: Lost (at home) to the Chiefs, who were 1-16 in their last 17 games
3. 2007: Lost a squeaker to the Patriots 52-7.
4. 2005: Loss to the Giants 36-0
5. Mercifully, we’ll group the really bad Spurrier losses by year: 2003: Lost to the Eagles 31-7 on national television, lost to the Cowboys 27-0 in a “must win” game, lost to the juggernaut that was the Buffalo Bills 24-7 at home.
6. 2002 Spurrier: Lost 37-7 to the Eagles on Monday Night Football, Spurrier does gum flapping thing in slow motion. Lost to the Packers 30-9, and lost at home to the New Orleans Saints 43-27 (Who was the Saints QB, you ask? Oh no, it was not Drew Brees, or Archie Manning or Jesus Christ…it was Aaron Brooks. Aaron Brooks lit the Skins up for 43.).
7. The First Four Games of the Schottenheimer Era: L to San Diego 30-3, Lose to Green Bay 37-0, Lose to Kansas City 45-13, Lose to the Giants 23-7. Those were fun.
8. 2001: Week 15 and week 16 losses to the Cowboys and Steelers by scores of 32-13 and 24-3 respectively, also known as “The Robiskie Era.” Yes, after a 9-7 loss to the Giants that put the Skins to 7-6, this is when Snyder fired Norv Turner and insisted that Jeff George replace Brad Johnson for the rest of the season. That went well.

File These Under Other Various Embarrassments
1. The Champ Bailey for Clinton Portis Trade
2. The Gus Ferrotte Head Butt Game**
3. The Joe Gibbs Double Time Out Loss
4. Schottenheimer clears cap space, finishes the season 8-3….and is fired.
5. Zorn and Hip Hip Hooray
6. Snyder making a profit off of 9-11 themed Commanders merchandise
7. The Tailgating Fiasco of 2009
8. Trading two draft picks for T.J. fuging Duckett
9. Osaka!
10. The 67 times Steve Spurrier didn’t know the name of one of his players during a public appearance…”Yes, well, uh, Darternian Mccotton headed ninny muggins made a nice catch on that one there…”
11. Hey! It’s Pepper Rodgers!

**This actually happened in 1997, when Snyder had nothing to do with the Commanders, but oddly enough this is still somehow his fault.

I don't know, I think they may have a case. And yes, I suddenly do feel a little better about Jerry.

That post made my day!

 

[arglebargle]

The facts show that Danny boy is very much susceptible to this. He bought up all the local media outlets that he could, so he could control what was said about him and the Commanders. The banning of paper bags, and now signs, from the stadium, shows that he is very thin skinned in his egomania, and that such things do, indeed, bother him.

He's beginning to look like the worst owner out there, edging out even Uncle Al.

Forcing him to cede control is probably the best thing Commanders fans could do to improve their team!

....hmn, wait a minute, maybe it isn't such a good idea. You Commanders fans should just grin and ask for more.

He just banned the signs because he didn't want people getting hurt :laugh1: . That was nice of him to look out for his fans.
It would be weird if he owned the Eagles instead and had their fans. I'm reminded there was a hole in the Cowboys roof so God could watch His favorite team play. Well if Danny Boy did own the Eagles, he would have to have a transparent surface his team played on so You Know Who could look up to watch his favorite team play

Man, I hate Snyder and the Eagles fans

 

[HanD]

People have already bought the tickets for this year's games. If you want to do something THIS YEAR, then this is pretty good as far as I'm concerned.

Moving forward people can stop buying tickets, but for this year, it's not like these are tickets that are going to be bought on game day from Snyder.

actually, there are multiple stories of the skins suing fans who have tried to break their season ticket contracts or put them on hold due to losing their jobs or the economy. There was one of a 72 year old woman, life long fan who the skins sued and won a 70k judgment against. So either stage a walkout or be sued in court for not living up to your season ticket contracts. unbelievable.

 

[Hostile]

I might have to get tickets to that game.:cunning:

There are a lot of Commanders fans who will be selling theirs. I've heard some of them want it to be a huge Dallas crowd.

 

[Hostile]

i would love to know what hostile thinks about this

would that be grand,the stadium is only full with cowboys fans

no Commander fans at all,

As of right now, I am planning to be at that game, partying with Danny White.

I don't know, I think they may have a case. And yes, I suddenly do feel a little better about Jerry.

My personal a favorite. A 2nd round pick for a 34 year old Jason Taylor. Is a Skin for one season, gets released and then picked right back up by the Dolphins and having a decent year so far.

Some moronic Skin fans were trying to tell me this was a good trade!!! LOL!

No need for redundancy

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

Hardly. Cowboy fans should've done the same to Jerry Jones ages ago.

The one thing an owner will definitely pay attention to is empty seats.

only unsold empty seats, if they are sold, he won't care

Hmmm. Maybe I'm not looking in the right place but I don't seem to see "losing first 7, and 11 out of first 12 games versus the Dallas Cowboys" anywhere on this list... Maybe something you can take back and recommend

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

I would get up and applaud them for doing it.

Then I would go on the "less crowded" line and get another beer and hotdog.
