What Are The Redskins Thinking?
Last night and today a lot of stories surfaced on the message boards about Redskins fans being removed from the stadium because of signs. Some were even told to turn their shirts inside out because of the pictures they had on them. There’s even mention of one of Fedex Field’s security personnel destroying a sign that a fan wanted to take back to their car and keep. That’s just disgusting but that’s the way it is at Fedex Field now. You can’t express your displeasure with the team or management (or the lack thereof of any management).
According to the DC Sports Bog, the Washington Redskins have changed their policy on signs at Fedex Field. The new policy states that no signs are allowed at all. So fans who showed up at Fedex Field on Monday night had their signs discarded in the trash by Fedex security before they could enter the stadium. So folks did manage to sneak them in only to have security approach them with threats in they didn’t comply.
According to Redskins officials, the policy was changed for a number of reasons. One reason being that they don’t want signs obstructing views of other fans. My only question is why the hell do they sell obstructed view seats? To me, there seems to be a conflict here in terms of obstructing views for fans. It’s fine for the Redskins to obstruct your view and your view is obstructed the entire game. But fans can’t obstruct your view for a couple of moments. Of course, it’s the fans choice to purchase the obstructed view seats but if the organization really feels this strongly about obstructing fans’ view, then maybe they shouldn’t offer obstructed view seats.
