Commanders Fans Staging a Home-Game Walkout Against the Cowboys

[Dave_in-NC]

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.

After reading all this, I might have a man crush on Jerry.............nawww

 

[jobberone]

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,

No slight to Hos but how do you feel about it?

 

[JerryFan]

Walking out against your biggest rival is more an indictment of the fans than it is the owner.

I disagree. The only way to make an impact in situations like the mighty midget has put them in is to hit him where it counts. his pocket. thats all people like him understand. whether it makes him less money or not. he's truly an embarrassment to the NFL.

 

[Randy White]

the Deadskins fan.

If they pull it off, and I hope is 30-40,0000, that would send a huge message to little napoleon..

I truly wish them luck because I like to see fans, for the first time ever, send a real message to management.

Yes, Skins fans are PO'd at the pathetic depths the team has sunk to ... all due to the inept management of Danny Snyder.

Staging a walk out is about all the fans can do ... Snyder isn't going to sell the team. He's too in love with the power and the privileges which come with owning an NFL franchise.

Snyder may be a lousy owner and GM, but his Skins have won a playoff game in the last 12 years.

 

[casmith07]

I think the biggest embarrassment was trading Champ Bailey for Clinton Portis...shutdown corners come around once a decade or so, but halfway decent prima donna running backs can be had in free agency. Commanders fans at my school when that happened were all like "whaaaat!?"

To me it's way more then that. Read the post about all the crap he has done since owning the team. Any time I guy buys a message board because people are talking bad about him, radio station, makes rules you can't have signs or chant bad things about him at the game, sue fans who don't want to renew season ticket packages when you could easily sell the tickets then you get what you deserve. That right there shows me he won't change. He thinks he's to smart and lives in a world that all of us dream about. Why change when you can just buy whatever is bothering you and shut it up. Except the only thing he can't shut up is the fans walking out against his and his teams most hated rival. He's a Jerry Jones wanna-b and failing miserably at it. Any time you feel like Jerry is screwing this team up just think about good ole Danny and it will put a smile on your face. I honestly could care less about the Commanders and what they do. They mean NOTHING in the NFCE to me honestly.

I know ... just like trading multiple draft picks for WR's who can't catch.

So what!!! That's no big accomplishment... How many of these:lombardi: does he have? That one constant that you mention has 3 of them....

Whoop-dee-freaking-doo.

No kidding. No one gives a damn about that other than bitter, know nothing Cowboys fans. If you are too blinded by your own bitterness to see that their playoff win doesn't mean crap, then pull your head out of the dark smelly place you've got it stuck in.

Their playoff win means what to 2009? It means what to 2010? That Skins fans should be happier than Cowboys fans?

In a pig's eye. Shut up.

I see what you did there.

 

[DallasDomination]

I'm pulling for the Commanders Fans. It's always nice to see fans come together to send a message. That little snyder kicks people out for having signs bashing Him or the team. He's a dictator!.

 

[DallasDomination]

That, to me, would be the ultimate level of BS from a so called fan.

I understand being frusturated. I understand wanting things to change and your team to do better. i don't understand, never have and never will, walking out on your team because things aren't all sunshine and rainbows. Those people who do that aren't fans.

If that happens it just goes to show you how pathetic that particular group of Commanders 'fans' really are.

Nah man it's not walking out on the team it's walking out on the owner. way different. PLus who are you to question their fanhood? Hell they would pay money to go just make a statement. That franshise needs a message and that would be a big slap in the face to Snyder.

 

[DallasCowboysRule!]

As much as I hope this happens and as much as I'd like to see Fedex near empty except for patches of Blue and Silver I'm not getting my hopes up. Just like I'm not expecting that thing up in Cleveland to work either.

 

[SaltwaterServr]

Couldn't happen to a more deserving franchise. Keep up the good work Danny boy! Remember, it's you versus them and you'll win Daniel if you stick to your guns.

If only it could be Philly...

 

[theogt]

Hmm I wonder if the DTC is going to be there :laugh2:

The Depositary Trust Company?

 

[Bob Sacamano]

the DTC will probably be "intimidating" fans once again

 

[GOLDENCHILD1688]

im going to that game with my cowboy gear.

would be a funny sight to see

 

[Muhast]

I have a feeling when gametime comes no more than 400 fans leave. If I pay money to go watch my team play one of our hated rivals, you can't pry me from my seat!

 

[Hostile]

The Depositary Trust Company?

The Dead Tree Crew. A group of 3 wannabe thugs who think they are tough because they run in a pack, drive fly cars, like rap music, attract stupid despearate women, and drink beer from a road cone.

Real winners.
