Obviously, LA has personal issues with Snyder, but I'm all in favor of a large group of fans showing up and asking Snyder for change and accountability. I wish I lived close enough to go myself.

I wish the locals would do this. But it won't happen.

I always liked LA. I'm glad he still considers himself a Skins fan. Whether it happens or not, he is right about needing change. The Danny has really turned the Skins into a chundering franchise. And it sucks, because now I don't even look forward to watching Skins' games.

Lavar may be a physical stud, but he's an intellectual and emotional child. After his accusations against Danny, this just looks like a vendetta and it gets harder and harder to believe him that he was ever misled on anything and the problem isn't just that he's a selfish, dim-witted spoiled narcissist who wanted things his way because he's the only one in his universe who mattered.

Shut up Lavar, for YOUR sake.

It appears, more and more, that LA is just going straight after Snyder. Don't get me wrong, I think that Snyder is the reason for the steady decline of this organization and is THE WORST OWNER IN ALL OF SPORTS. I would love for the fans to take back this team, though.

I don't need to read that, thankyou. Lavar Arrington's opinion is worthless.

Lavar Arrington was worthless. He caused more bad plays then good when he was here and thrived during some dark years.

Anyone who supports Lavar to this day I will not talk to.

Let's get 50,000 fans to go to the NFL headquarters to ask for our wasted drafted pick on Lavar back.

I remember Arrington being the best player on some bad teams. I remember him ending Aikmans career on a clean hit, he just closed faster than Aikman thought he could. I remember Arrington returning an amazing interception for a touchdown to get the first win after an 0-5 start and turn the season around under Schottenheimer. I remember 12 sacks in a season. I also remember him being injured and benched for free lancing by Gregg W. And I remember him paying back money to get out of town, really helping the teams salary cap after it was obvious his career was over.

Not a hall of fame player, but don't let anger about how things ended overshadow the good things he did.

Look at the message, not the messenger !!!

What is wrong with ...

"It has to start with us the fans: if we raise our level of accountability then the rest has no choice but to fall in line. And that means everybody. But the real question is do we really care that much or are we just talkers???? The ball is in your court FANS. It's in our court to start the process of change. This city and its fans can start up the road to earning and deserving championship caliber teams. One team in town has done it and look at how we are excited about them. This is not far fetched that us--you the fan--have that type of power, because you do....

Come on people !!!

A rebellion is called for !!!

A rebellion is whats needed !!!

Do you want TEN MORE years of the same CRAP !!!

I do not. I am not a Lavar fan. But the message is IMPECABBLE and I support it 100%

It is time Dan Snyder. Its freaking time. YOU are the cause of all our problems darn fool !!!

I think it's a matter of not going to the games. I mean a full scale no show for one game in honor of getting rid of VC and bringing in a GM. We could actually do it, and if someone needs money to split the cost of their tickets, I'll help pitch in. Wow...that would be awesome

LA's not a Skin's fan. He came on the radio the first day he was on the air (and I was listening) and said that he hasn't really followed the Skins since he retired and that he's always been a Steelers fan.

The Sports Junkies on the same radio station (WJFK) are buying 10,000 paper bags and putting holes in the eyes and a WJFK sticker on it and handing them out prior to the game.

There was a picture I posted a while back on extremeskins when he played for us where he was wearing a Steelers jersey but playing for us. Pissed me off. If anyone can find it that would be a funny post.

LA is not a 'skins fan. That is a cheap tactic to borrow some credibility.

OTOH, he is not without a point.

LA's a tool - that being said, Snyder is going to hear the sound of boos and as a marketing genius he's going to be really pissed that the rest of the USA is going to hear that too as the networks will all be showing the scenes at FedEx this weekend

The Redskins may have lost to the Lions last week but the sound of boos this Sunday is due in large part to the lack of effort the past 2 games - this team is not good enough to just show up and that is what many of these players look like to me - no passion or urgency - they just do not look like a Redskins team

RiC is right about the message from the fans but Arrington has no credibility with anyone but himself - I guarantee no former players of his era are going to support this tool

I don't know. I think he has one of the best radio shows on the radio right now when it comes to the redskins. Whatever his opinion of the redskins might be, he knows what he's talking about when they're talking about things on the field.
