Let's Do Something For Art.

I posted this on the Skins Insider blog, and I post it here as a real, legitimate idea:

Why don't we funnel our anger at Art's snub into a project that not only lets Art know what he means to us, but also does some good in the community, and further serves as a reminder of what 81 means to Redskins fans?

Rather than just posting angry messages, let's show Canton and those boneheads in the media that #81 and his fans are on another level from guys like "White Lines" Irvin.

Let's do something with Habitat DC, or find a kids rec center that needs help. Let's put our money and time where our mouths are and represent Art the way he represented all of us Burgundy and Gold-loving fans when he played: by getting something done in the trenches.

I've already contacted Tom K. of Monk4TheHall.com (the guy who put the great YouTube video campaign together) and he's in. Who else is with me?

What do you guys think?

BTW, if enough people pledge their time, help, and/or donations to get something going, we're going to need a home on the 'Net to organize. Matty and the Warpath admins, what say you?

Awesome idea guys. Just plain awesome.

BTW, if you're interesting in helping out, please just make a note in your post here, that you're willing to contribute time, a small financial donation, or both.

let me know what i need to do to help. ive got some free time and just a got a small financial winfall.

how about getting something going to have Dan Snyder retire monks jersey? i know all the crap about the skins not retiring jerseys, but what a great place to start

Wow, I have to admit I expected a pretty rabid response to the idea of actually doing something. I guess it's easier to sit on our butts and whine.

Sounds like a good idea, give it time dgack you posted this at 11pm on a saturday night and weekends are typically much slower around here.

I'm not exactly sure what the idea could be, but I'll do my part and contibute if we can come up with something.

I'd like to volunteer
