You don't suppose it's a cyclical type of argument do you? as people like you become more arrogant in the approach he becomes more arrogant in his response. Yes calling for a sign that says "sell OUR team danny boy" is as arrogant action. One it uses a demeaning diminutive of his real name. Two, it assumes ownership of something that is legally his (whether you like it or not) even if it is a public commodity.
Arrogance and contempt breeds more arrogance and contempt. Dan Snyder needs to get a clue, but so do those who are following your lead.
I said it once before and I will say it again, the success of your campaign only makes Snyder moving the Redskins away more likely. It does nothing to impact the team's duress in a positive way.
At best you would succeed in a pyrrhic victory. but please keep playing your pipe, I am sure the masses will follow you.
As for what can and should be done. The same thing that has worked with franchises like the Colts, Patriots, Seattle, San Diego all who suffered bad seasons before their owners got it right. Patience, support, and A LOT of beer!
Beer was not working anymore so I had to switch to the hard stuff.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - These days, disappointed Redskins fans are looking for someone to blame. And for many, that someone is owner Dan Snyder. Some among Redskins Nation are calling for Snyder to sell the team, while others hope he'll eventually take a more hands-off approach.
Power of the people. That's what Redskins fans say they're using to try to convince owner Dan Snyder to either sell the Skins, or at least back off a bit.
Charles Tomasch and Chris Mitchell went to high school together in Annandale. They've teamed up with friends to create the website www.sellourteamdannyboy.com .
The guys are lifelong Skins fans. Chris painted the first car he ever owned burgundy and gold. They took it to games when the Redskins soared. After this season's Carolina game, he towed it back from Charlotte with the flag upside down-- a sign of distress.
The guys are trying to raise about $8,000 to buy 'Sell Our Team Danny Boy' ads on Metro buses.
"I'm not one to just sit around and complain. I feel like if you're gonna be a complainer, you gotta go out and do something," said Charles.
Charles has dropped his season tickets. Chris still has his tickets, but they're urging fans to skip games and if they go, buy nothing.
"If we don't show up, Dan Snyder literally owns a bunch of concrete and copper in the middle of Landover," said Charles.
By the way, it wasn't just the Jetta. Until a few months ago, Charles had a burgundy and gold van. He traded it in during Cash for Clunkers.
