Skins fans plan Dallas walkout (http://voices.washingtonpost.com/dcsportsbog/2009/11/behavior_change_skins_fans_pla.html#more)

Maybe you know [Alan Pohoryles] as the owner of Tommy Joe's in Bethesda. But now, meet him as the founder of RFADS, Redskins Fans Against Daniel Snyder.

Poho's frustration mirrors yours, and I'll get to that in a minute. But in a moment of particular angst before the home game against the Chiefs, he decided to do something, founding this RFADS Facebook group and sending the invitation to about 80 friends. Before the 4 o'clock games were over, he was adding 150 or 200 members an hour. By the start of Sunday Night Football, when Jim Zorn was stripped of his play-calling duties, he had 1,200 members. As I type, he's passed 9,300 members. He figures at this pace, he could have 20,000 members by the Dec. 27 Dallas game, the final home game.

"It just took off, and people were [extremely angry]," Poho told me. "There's definitely something going on. When I started it, I didn't have any of this in mind. But once it took off, I realized that maybe we can make a difference."

Which led to the idea of the walkout. The general concept is that you go to the Dallas game as usual, stand for the national anthem as always, and then split. Watch it from the parking lot. Have a grand old time. Visit that Wendy's that I always stop at on my way home. Just don't sit inside the stadium. He figures if he can get some more publicity and some more members and some more media, it wouldn't be impossible to get 10,000 or 20,000 fans to leave the building.

I have my doubts that fans would spend all that money to walk out of the game; but wouldn't it be something if it really happened?

Would Snydie get the message?

I'll have video surveillance of every last one of you and you will never enter MY stadium again.:tantrum

I heard on WMAL earlier that a lot of fans are saying they refuse to buy anymore Redskins stuff until Snyder is gone and the possibility of ticket sales plummeting next year.

The only way to send this guy the message is to hit him in his checkbook.

I've refused to enter it in the first place. It's defiled ground.

Absolutely, now paying for tickets and walking out might work because they will lose a lot of money from food and drink sales. Who knows, but yep, hit him where it hurts him the most.

Season ticket holders already spent the money.

:shrug:

On the tickets. But, as Bay said, if they leave the stadium no one is buying any of the food and junk. And then there's next year. There will always be those diehards though. They will keep coming back no matter what. It's a sport all of its own for them.

I heard about this plan at work today, and it is alive! Another option that they are talking about is to fill the stadium as they, the fans, would normally do - and then move over to the Dallas side of the house - after the initial kickoff! :killingme

If he loses money this year. He will raise the prices a greater amount next year.

Hey, good for them. It is their entertainment dollar.

No. I just don't despise him. I understand the desire to play with the toy.

So who's the toy? The frachise or the fans? Or both?

This is all insane but I like it. :killingme Don't buy his beer!

That alone would probably put him out of business.

And this will make them suck less how?

No money, no pay, no pay or less pay, gets you a team that suxs worst than the one we already have.

You people are pathetic. We could have a team like the Lions, Raiders, Chiefs, Rams, and so on.

So who's the toy? The frachise or the fans? Or both?

Snyder paid $800 million for his toy (aka the Washington Redskins) and fans are mad because he plays with his toy. It's not like he wants the team to lose, he pays plenty of money each year and tries to make big moves.

How many of you would pay even $100 for an item that you could never use?

I am sure your seat contracts state if you walk out you must pay a penalty of x number of dollars and you can fine them for not buying enough dogs or beer.

I'm not sure which team it was but I heard they were not going in untill after the national anthem and not buying anything in the stadium. They figured that would send a message and they could still see the game

Season ticket holders already spent the money.

:shrug:
I don't think that's the point. At least if I was walking out it wouldn't be about the money.

Somebody else is playing with them. :killingme
Who do you think she got them for?:lol:

Didn't know about this.:lmao:


In the book, Nolan recounts his first meeting with Snyder, during which he says the new owner asked him if he would work harder if guaranteed a $50,000 bonus.

Nolan said he would work just as hard with no promise of a bonus. Snyder, according to the book, responded in part by saying, "You're probably another one of those guys who lets his wife tell him what to do."

The most famous incident, however, concerned ice cream.

Early in the season, Snyder told Nolan his defensive calls were "too vanilla." A few days later, according to the book, a gallon of ice cream (Rocky Road? Cherry Garcia?) materialized on Nolan's desk with the note, "This is what I like. Not vanilla."

Nolan laughed and sent a note to Snyder that read, "Thanks for the ice cream. My kids enjoyed it."

But after a 38-20 loss at Dallas in Week 6, Nolan returned to his office late that night to find three giant canisters of melting ice cream and this note: "I wasn't joking. I do not like vanilla."

This time, according to the book, Nolan didn't laugh.

The ice-cream caper was reported at the time in the Washington Post. A Snyder spokesman first denied it happened, then later sought to pin it on Redskins executive Vinny Cerrato, a former member of the 49ers' front office.

The Post also asked Raiders coach Norv Turner -- who in 1999 was the Redskins' coach -- whether it should print an apology to Snyder for reporting falsehoods about the ice cream.

"Absolutely not," Turner told the Post. "Not only did he do it to Mike, he said to me the next year, 'Do I have to send you ice cream, too?'"
