Redskins Ban Interviews with Tailgaters.

[Giantone]

Remember back years ago when he open camp to the public .....and charged admision,although he tried he could not keep other teams away .Reminds of that kind of.....The law to the Snyder and the Law to the rest of the world is different.

@trample -
You just hit the nail on the head. Look how long the Caps were bad. Look how hard Ted Leonsis worked to build that team with good young talent and build a team that can last and ake multiple shots at a championship. Look at how Ted treats the fans. He absorbed it when they were bad, he interacts and listens to them. Fans will respect real rebuilding years, but Danny has never tried one and doesn't have 1% of the sense or class that Ted has.

Having been a part of the local media covering the Redskins back in the day the rule was always you can talk to tailgaters, you just can't set up shop in the parking lot. Like WUSA can't go set up their truck inside there. I think it's largely due to logistical reasons, but media has always been allowed to interview tailgaters. You just can't, as I noted, bring all your gear (namely a truck) into the lot. If I remember right we couldn't even bring cameras in either.

Maybe that rule has since changed, and if so that's unfortunate, but my guess is that something just wasn't communicated properly.

At the end of the day though we're just talking about fans being interviewed before or after a game...or not. The timing of all this makes it seem bad, but the Hitler comparisons are ridiculous

I'm betting thats what they where talking about and now they have blown it up like they cannot interview fans at all. Now people are here calling DS out on this when in fact its nothing new. Its all getting pretty old and I find it odd that all these diehard fans are just now finding this site.

Well to me that's exactly the point. If we were winning and/or the Danny and VC weren't under heavy fire, do you really think they'd care about media talking to tailgaters? To me it's plain as day- Napoleon is doing everything in his power to suppress negativity towards himself and the organization. The funny thing is, this kind of stuff is only going to make the hating worse.

This isn't as bad as throwing out fans because of t-shirts though. That's the most pathetic thing I've seen from Danny.

This all if the initial report in the post is accurate...which I don't think it is

Are you questioning the tailgate thing or the t-shirt thing. The t-shirt thing is 100% real, I saw it. The tailgate thing, that could be a misinterpretation but given his current actions there is no reason to think he would not do that. After all, if you are going after tailgaters, in the parking lot, for hanging anti-snyder banners then everything else is plausible.

I'd still like to see the pic of the original Fire Him T Shirt from ten years ago.

Don't be surprised if the "Little Emperor's" next move is not to petetion the high court for a "writ of certiorari" asking that all the records and documents associated with "The Warpath" be subjected to review. His reason for asking the court to grant such writ is so he can delve deeper into the reasons for so much fan discord, and be able to develop ways and means to further combat it.

It seems like the people over in Ashburn are worried about stupid shit that has nothing to do w/ winning. On a side not anyone hear that arrogant prick Redskins lawyer on the radio yesterday?

[munny]

Relax clarence. This team has nothing to do with winning either.

[SFREDSKIN]

Snyder is sounding like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in Iran. I guess one thing they can't stop is tweeting.

DUDE this is exactly what I thought when I read the first post of the thread...WEIRD! What made it plain to me is how they're both small (super small maybe?) and come across as blatantly smug.

LOL...

For the last two years or so, I have been saying here that the ONLY real way to get Danny Boy's attention and give him real grief is to hit him in the ego. And now you can see how he and his minions react when the first wave of that kind of abuse gets in his face.


He does not like to be told that he is wrong about anything. If one of the security folks told him that it just didn't seem right to forbid someone from bringing in a sign that said "Hi Dad! Stay Safe in Afghanistan!" with an American Flag emblem on it, Danny Boy is 50/50 to fire that security guy on the spot. NO one tells him he is wrong about ANYTHING. If you don't believe that, ask any of the 15 PR people that have come and gone through the Skins organization in the last 6 or 7 years. Only a few of them have truly resigned; the rest have "resigned" - - and taken a buyout with a confidentiality clause.


Danny Boy's yes-men are closing ranks around him to protect him from the ego-abuse he is taking and should continue to take. The more he tries to be a hard-ass about this, the more he will be held up to ridicule - - so long as fans keep the heat on.


Too bad FedEX field is in tightly controlled airspace. I know two private pilots who have planes who want to fly banners around the stadium with a message for fans and for "The Incumbent Owner"... Air traffic control makes that almost impossible.

Great post. Couldn't agree more. I didn't know Danny was in the pockets of air-traffic controllers. No surprise. What a little maggot that guy is. I know he's done good things with charity/cancer research etc etc, and that's fine. But what I'm concerned with is his ownership of my beloved team, and at that he's a big fat FAIL.
