Commanders rule: Fans can't bring signs to games

[Biggems]

If I am the Skins season ticket holders, I picket outside Skins headquarters, outside Snyder and Cerrato's homes, etc. I even sell my season tickets for each game to fans of the other team. I do whatever I can to make Snyder uncomfortable, so that maybe he will get his head out of his butt and start trying to get a quality product for myself and my fellow season ticket holders.

Wow is right!!! Too bad the political zone is closed,cause I could sure see this spilling over into it.
This really troubles me....Only because it probably means that the Skins are due for a very high draft pick in the next draft.

 

[theebs]

wow that is very sad. Fans deserve the right to say what they want and wear a fire snyder shirt if they want.

HE has kicked everyone out of the organization that doesnt like him, removed all the media that doesnt and now he is kicking out the fans.

WHy joe gibbs ever did business with this guy is beyond me, says alot about gibbs to me.

WUSA, the local CBS station is reporting that the Commanders have banned media interviews with tailgaters at FedEx Field. I love it. Has Snyder never read a history book? This kind of censorship only makes people try harder to get their voices heard.

It seems true fascism is alive and well at Fed-Ex Field...

I always knew Danny Boy was thin-skinned, but this crapola is over the top... he seems to be working on becoming the most hated man in DC...

I've had that happen to me twice at FedEx field in the past.

One year, I had a sign that said "I support Snyder and Spurrier" -- of course the joke being that I'm a Cowboys fan and I support the incompetent management of the team. Anyway, the sign was confiscated from me after about 10 minutes. In their defense, some Skins fans came to my defense when security took the sign away from me.

Another year, some guy in the parking lot was selling bootleg t-shirts, most of which said "F@&K DALLAS" and had the Calvin character peeing on the Star. But he also had a few "F@&K Commanders" shirts with Calvin peeing on the Skins logo. So I bought one and wore it into the stadium. Again, after about 5 minutes, security came up to me and demanded I take the shirt off. I pointed out two or three skins fans around me who had the anti-Dallas shirts on... one of which had a shirt that actually had the "F" word spelled out. Security said they didn't care about those, but I had to take off my shirt or I'd be kicked out of the stadium.

Wow read this;

Incredible.

What's next, Danny running over protesters with his tanks?

 

[Hostile]

Uh, I think it's time the NFL Commissioner stepped into this.

Why isn't the mainstream media all over this? It is disgusting.

 

[Hostile]

I don't like the Skins, but I sent Roger Goodell an e-mail anyway. I hate this kind of censorship more than I do the Skins.

I hear that thrown alot when it comes to the skins. "Once proud".

What exactly in this teams history does it have to be proud about? They've always been a bottom dweller for the most part. They have a long and storied tradition of racism. They're very name is a racial slur.

They have 1 Super Bowl victory. I don't count the two that happened in strike years. They simply don't count for me. The second SB they won, the Giants were defending champions. But the giants didn't even make the playoffs because the scabs went 0-4 during the regular season. The Giants missed going to the playoffs because of it. Of course skins fans won't admit it, but if it were us who won during the strike years, you can bet they wouldn't count it either.

I'm not saying they don't have some history, but the majority of the years this team has been playing, they have been an afterthought.

Once proud?? My ***. When were they proud? During the strike years? Yippee.

But I do agree that the team is a joke. They are the NFC version of the Raiders. I don't envy their fans. They are going nowhere with the current management.
People want to blame Vinny. Are they blind to the fact that Vinny is the GM in name only? He's lil danny's mouthpiece. Thats all. At least Jerry has the balls to say he's the GM and make the decisions. Danny has a mouthpiece do his bidding so he doesn't have to take the heat directly. Anyone who thinks Vinny will be fired at the end of the season is nuts.

No real coach wants to go to the skins. We found that out the last time they were looking. You hire a Offensive coordinator (zorn), and two weeks later when you can't get anyone else to take an interview, you decide to make zorn the head coach? What a fricken joke.

That is going to leave one heck of a mark for any Commander fan reading it.

:clap2:

Thank you Hostile.

And for those who care. Its going to get really nasty here soon. Fans want a real GM.

 

[Duane]

Thank you Hostile.

At least your owner might consider firing the GM.

there's alot of BS going on in DC right now, is there a lot of outcry from the fans up there about this?, since Snyder controls most of the Sports media up there. I know we would not stand for JJ doing something like this.

I thought i would enjoy a Commanders collapse a lot more then I am. I just get angry when i read some of these stories now. :bang2:

That's just wrong. I don't understand how the stadium staff can get away with it. At some point, these stadiums are public places that are subsidized by the public (e.g., tax breaks).

I knew the little guy had an ego and all of that, but man alive that is just crazy.

I could see if the shirts or signs had profanity on them but really it is getting pretty bad and he is only adding fuel to the fire with his little napoleon act.

I wonder what the contract for season ticket holders has in it, in other words I wonder if the language speaks of things that specifically breaks the rules or if it is in general and vague terms. I wonder if someone winds up suing the skins if they lose their season tickets over something so crazy.

I, along with many others, have ragged on Jerry for numerous things but I just can't see him sinking to the level of Sndyer concerning these current situations with the signs and shirts.

Just crazy and again he is just adding fuel to the fire.

Now...I would love to see the skins suffer for years to come...But no fans that pay for season tickets should be treated that way...even if they are skins fans.

 

[silverbear]

Naw, he's gonna burn down the Reichstag, errrr, Fed-Ex Field...

And blame it on the Cowboys...

Yahoo's NFL page had a feature on these developments today... word's getting around...

 

[the kid 05]

No freedom of speech in the Nation's Capital? That's going to go over like a lead balloon.

Commanders fans want as many Dallas fans as possible to attend the game in December. I hope it's a sea of blue. Good lord willing I will be there.

DIdn't you win a bet that a skin fan has to pay for your ticket now?

I enjoy the Commander's fans misery. Yet, I'm 100% in their corner in being able to express themselves in the face of their management's fascist policies.

We can only hope that the Commanders fans in attendance in Cowboys Stadium will be allowed to express themselves freely to the watching eyes of the nation.
