We've had 2 playoff appearances both under Gibbs 2.0. I DON"T UNDERSTAND what Danny doesn't get about how bad he's been for this franchise.
To Danny, control of the Redskins is all that counts. If the team loses with him at the helm, well, he did his best and there's always next year. And the year after that.... Danny will show us all in that far-off time when the Redskins win the Super Bowl with him as GM. Nothing else matters to him. In fact, he won't even talk to the media except for his own special version of Pravda. What makes you think he cares what any fan thinks, other than as a motivation for him to redouble his efforts as GM?
The only way to make Snyder give up, I think, is to find a way to EMBARRASS him out of his complacency. It would have to be something simply unignorable during TV broadcast(s) of the game(s), preferably nationally-televised. With ticket and merchandise revenues only being a relatively small piece of the pie, I don't think a fan boycott would be successful. There has to be something that would embarrass him and/or the league into action.
Wrong thinking is punishable.
Right thinking will be as quickly rewarded.
You will find it an effective combination.
This is a hard one. I gave up my season tickets a few years ago after I realized DS and VC just were never going to bring in a football guy to build and run the team. The only way to get DS to get rid of Vinny and butt out is to get it in the pocket book. I can see how it would be hard for someone who has tickets to not want to waste them or want to selll them but the only way to make a statement is for that seat to be empty. No food, no parking and believe me when the largest stadium in the NFL is half empty for the first time ever the media will be all over it. As soon as Dan sees he is losing his fan base and gets worried that his cash cow may go into the red he will listen to all the advice dished out in the wash post and the media. Trust me.

Your booing will be drowned out by the cheers of thousands of "fans" who dont really care as long as they are at the game.
Lets face it, we do not have a large enough diehard know-whats-going-on fan base to pull any kind of boycotts. As great as a walk out or a booing session sounds you could possibly the only one in your section to do it, then what, miss the rest of the game even though it took you 3-4 hours minimum just to get there...
My thread on here "new approach" I thought was dead on with this view. As long as I feel good about my personal boycott then I have achieved my goal. But getting even 5,000 - 10,000 fans to do anything is a stretch....
They surely weren't drowned out at the Rams game, were they?
Were the fans turning around booing Snyder, No....
In a way they were....
TBH, I didn't know where exctly his box was... so I couldn't turn around (let alone the fact that I was in the 400s).
...and every fan I talked to, no one said they were booing the players. We were all booing everyone above the players. I thought that was understood, I know it was said a few times.
...any given Sunday....
RIP #21 Sean Taylor. You will be loved and adored by Redskins fans forever!!!!!

The National Anthem sucks.
What a useless piece of propagandist rhetoric that is.
