Dan Snyder tells Redskins fans to STFU!

http://views.washingtonpost.com/world-wide-wilbon/wilbon/2009/10/censorship_at_fedex.html

You know what's a whole lot worse than losing football games? Trying to bully people into silence because they object to your business practices, the product itself, or the way you treat them as consumers.

Clearly, the Washington Redskins didn't learn a damn thing from being called out for suing season ticket holders who could no longer afford seats in the worst recession in decades. That should have embarrassed them into cleaning up their act. But management, like the product on the field, has gone from bad to worse. Censorship seems to be the order of the day now.

Put up a sign criticizing Dan Snyder at FedEx Field -- and there were plenty Monday night -- and you run the risk of being told to take it down ... if you're allowed to stay at all. Don't get me wrong, any sign that contains any vulgar words or images should be removed as well as the person responsible for it. No exceptions. If the club wants to pull that person's ticket, so be it.

But "Fire Dan Snyder" placards don't meet that criterion. And by banning television interviews of tailgating Redskins fans on "Redskins property," who are team officials supposed to silence -- the team's fans or the media? The Redskins undoubtedly will hide behind some sort of policy statement when the proper fix there is simple: Change the dumb policy. Does Snyder think this is going to make folks around town stop talking about either the team's incompetence or the fact that an increasing number of people hold him (justifiably) responsible?

Smooth Move, Snyder!

during all the years at Sun Devil Stadium when they put a poor product on the field for the most part.

an endless stream of hilarity!

Season tickets in '97 I went to first home game which was a Sunday Night game against the Cowboys. I say it was split 50-50 between Cardinals fans and Cowboys fans at the game, hell I give the edge to Cowboys fans being the majority. However Emmitt Smith fumbled in overtime(He had a great game otherwise that night) and Arizona took advantage and won. The rest of the games were half empty Stadium filled games until much later in the season when they played the Steelers. I can say for certain there were more Steelers fans than Cardinals fans in that stadium.

Looking back my grandma had money saved and asked me if I wanted to go on vacation to Hawaii or season tickets for Cardinals. Well the Cardinals were 4-12 and I never even sniffed Hawaii :crazy:

and as an Eagle's fan I wish the NFC East would have more owners like him...just not in Philadelphia.
