Too many times people try things like this but don't get the media on board. Remember the huge demonstrations against scientology a couple of years ago? Probably not.. because those internet nerds never considered alerting any press that they'd be doing it.

Quite a few people on this board saying the money should go to a better cause. Perhaps we should spend our money on a $60 Redskins Jersey...or perhaps we should drop 10 large on some club level seats? That will feed all the kids in Africa.

All kidding aside. I do encourage donations to charity. But you don't have to give all your money to charity. All you need is like 8,000 fans to give a dollar and this could happen. I will probably be too lazy to do it:-)

I think this could have an effect. It would make the news and have an effect on Dan. He will get better at his job someday.

I don't know about the scientology thing and I'm not trying to egg these guys on, but I can tell you if there are buses flying around D.C., for four weeks, with banners attached to the side it will get some traction. And I don't think it would take four weeks either.

Okay.....

$543 and 2,545 views in a little over 24 hours. We are thinking that it is going to be slow over the weekend, so anyone thinking about donating money now is a great time!

As always, tell your friends, radio stations, and facebook/myspaces pages.

Also a lot of people are talking about making flyer's to hand out at the game/put in peoples windshields so we are looking for a nice jump Monday night or Tuesday.

Its only been one day but this has been overall VERY WELL received (not necessarily from everyone here obliviously).

Thanks!

Here's one of the contributors messages:
Is there a way to generate enough money to buy the team from him? AKA Green Bay. While we're at it, could we PLEASE change the name? The term Redskin is derogatory. I propose the monuments... Anonymous, Oct 23, 2009

$567 down only a billion to go

Problem: "mlmpetert boy" for believing he could shame the owner into selling the team.

Question: You own an Outback Steak House. It's making money hand over fist but the public is not happy with your bar tender (cause he/she can't mix drinks very well) and the manager (who basically tells the public to pack sand). Now the public is starting to run adds in the paper for you to sell the team.....what do you do?

A) Sell the team.
B) Fire the bar tender and manager and hire someone new.
C) Keep the status quo.

I can tell you one thing ....your not selling the team. Most likely your not keeping status quo. You fix the problem and you'll make more money with a better bar tender and manager. People only sell their business if they are losing money. DS may not even sell then, it seems he has held on to the theme park for several yrs with it not making money.

Soooo.........basically your waisting your time and other peoples money.

OOOkay, someone must have a lot of time on there hands...

[SBXVII]

Oh, and lets just say you were able to shame "Danny Boy" into doing something......or encouraged other fans to stop buying into the team.....your "Danny Boy" would simply move the team to another location that wants a team bad enough.

Maybe you could get DS to move the team and sometime within 10 yrs the NFL will give DC another team. Maybe.

poor Danny, I kinda think he is an undercover Cowboy lover!
