Redskins Ban Interviews with Tailgaters.

This IMO is one of the most inexplicable uses of authority that could ever be put on display. Talk about micromanaging!! This is just another is a series of game day indignities starting with pricey parking, and tailgating restrictions.

I'm going to hold out hope that these restrictions will ultimately wind up just being ephemeral, and that when other conditions surrounding the team improve, things will return to normal. These changes are being implemented in conjunction with a much broader picture in mind.

Yeah, like taking over the world!

I don't know why people keep going...seriously tell people not to go to games and don't go to games yourselves. Dan Snyder is a piece of s***

Well, if you would like to buy my tickets to make your statement, I am willing to help you with that. But I refuse to sell mine to a non-skins fan. However, my remaining tickets have a face value of $4000(they are good seats), so if you want to buy me out and make a stand then I am all for it. It's easy to say you shouldn't go when you don't have hard earned money wrapped up in it already.

Having been a part of the local media covering the Redskins back in the day the rule was always you can talk to tailgaters, you just can't set up shop in the parking lot. Like WUSA can't go set up their truck inside there. I think it's largely due to logistical reasons, but media has always been allowed to interview tailgaters. You just can't, as I noted, bring all your gear (namely a truck) into the lot. If I remember right we couldn't even bring cameras in either.

Maybe that rule has since changed, and if so that's unfortunate, but my guess is that something just wasn't communicated properly.

At the end of the day though we're just talking about fans being interviewed before or after a game...or not. The timing of all this makes it seem bad, but the Hitler comparisons are ridiculous

Sounds like a constitutional right issues that not only abridges free speech issues but also unreasonable and burdensome restriction on the freedom of the press. Someone will take it to Court and Snyder will likely lose.

I don't think so. It is private property and private enterprise. A private business can do what it wants in terms of free speech issues.

Don't be surprised if the "Little Emperor's" next move is not to petetion the high court for a "writ of certiorari" asking that all the records and documents associated with "The Warpath" be subjected to review. His reason for asking the court to grant such writ is so he can delve deeper into the reasons for so much fan discord, and be able to develop ways and means to further combat it.

It seems like the people over in Ashburn are worried about stupid shit that has nothing to do w/ winning. On a side not anyone hear that arrogant prick Redskins lawyer on the radio yesterday?

Relax clarence. This team has nothing to do with winning either.

Snyder is sounding like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in Iran. I guess one thing they can't stop is tweeting.

LOL......to apoint.They open there establishment to and invite the public in...........there is a difference.

This media paranoia, fan censorship and handling of Zorn is absolutely pathetic. Gibbs needs to have an intervention with him because it seems that Gibbs is the only person he listens to.

The sad thing is that he truly wants to win and actually thinks that he is making good decisions. He really has some type of disorder.
