Could Be Worse, Chiefs Fans: D.C. Talkin' Redskins Boycott

It's days like this that I appreciate the sturdy ownership of the Kansas City Chiefs.  John Feinstein appeared on Washington Post Live, a D.C. talk-show, on Monday and called for a boycott of anything and everything Washington Redskins to voice their displeasure.

"And let me say this for the record, I know what Redskins fans are saying right now. They're angry, they're upset. Ok, DO something about it. DON'T go to the game Sunday. I'm serious about this. If you really want to send a message to the owner, stop calling radio talk shows, stop sending e-mails to this show, and DON'T GO on Sunday. Don't give the guy your money for parking, for concessions.

"Tell him how upset you are by staying home and watching the game on television. They ought to just stay home....DON'T GO. STAY HOME AND WATCH THE GOOD GAMES. DON'T GO!"

(Transcript comes via Dan Steinberg of the D.C. Sports Bog)

Mr. Steinberg sums it up pretty well: "Wow."

The way I hear it, if the Chiefs had beaten the Cowboys last week, Wade Phillips might have been out of a job.  And the way I hear it this week, if the Chiefs beat the Redskins this week, Jim Zorn might be out of a job.

Any chief fans in the DC area?

If skins fans don’t go, why not fill it with Chiefs fans!?!?
I hated watching all the Cowboys fans in Arrowhead, I’d love to see the opposite.

Those weren't Cowboys fans

they were Texans fans…

At least, that’s what I’m going to keep telling myself.

Im going

i live about 30 minutes away from the stadion in N. VA….not a lot of Chiefs fans around here

A man who says he can, and a man who says he can't are both right. Which one are you?

Even if speculation was aside..

And nobody did show up to the game.. Wouldn’t that blackout rule come into effect?

I hate waiting.

by WMR on Oct 13, 2009 11:48 AM CDT via mobile reply actions   0 recs

The tickets just have to be bought...

not used….

SO technically if season ticketers dont go, it won’t matter for the blackout since they own the tickets anyway…But 100,000 seats is a lot…

Yep

if the game(s) weren’t already sold out. I’m not sure too many people who already have a ticket paid for would just not go though. Hard enough to justify buying a ticket to see a bad team in this economy, wasting money on a bad team is just dumb.

I'll be at the game.

Wearing bright red to support the Chiefs. Even though they tick me off a lot, I still love my team.

Me Too!!

I have never been to a game where the Chief’s have won…so I’m really hoping that I’ll be able to witness a win!! If they don’t then I’ll never go to another game again, not cause I hate the Chiefs, but because I will feel like I am bad luck!

by ChiefFan4Life on Oct 13, 2009 12:04 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Great, will watch for you guys in the stands.

Don’t think your bad luck, obviously it has nothing to do with whether your there or not. Keep showing up in support and one day you’ll be able to celebrate a win there. Think of how sweet that would be.

Haha!

No but unfortunately I wasn’t able to go to a game until the 2007 season, that’s when I could start affording tickets. I’ve been a Chief’s fan since I was 9. I would watch the games with my dad and try and act like I knew what was going on and yell whenever my dad would, pretty much whatever he said I would just repeat. : )

The Caption they had on Hog Haven for that pic was

that the refs explain to Zorn that you can’t challenge loosing a game.

Dan Snyder is an idiot.

He’s a bad fantasy league player who is also a billionaire who can afford to have a real NFL team. Anybody upset with the Chiefs not being more active and free-spending in free agency need look no further than Mr. Snyder. Nobody overpays for players more than he does and look at how effective his results are!

Toby is in HR, which technically means he works for corporate, so he's really not a part of our family. Also, he's divorced, so he's really not a part of his family.

The Down-Side of revenue sharing

Poorly managed teams can continue getting their share of the pie, even if they don’t earn it…and the result is they remain poorly managed.

Note: I’m not against the NFL revenue sharing model at all (I’d hate for the NFL to become like baseball has), but this is the downside.

by jmcgoblue on Oct 13, 2009 12:24 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I agree with you about revenue sharing -- the NFL is the model sports league.

MLB must think it’s good for baseball that the same teams are in the playoffs every year. But if they had revenue sharing the Royals would be no better for it and Glass would just pocket the extra money.

by Rev. Slappy on Oct 13, 2009 12:47 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

yeah, and the apologists always point to the Tampa Bay & Oakland examples

as to why revenue sharing isn’t necessary for baseball….yeah right. Small market teams can develop their own talent, but can’t keep them in the prime of their career. Baseball has become a competitive joke, and that’s a big reason 80% of the country no longer cares about it. I used to be a huge baseball fan, but now it seem pointless. End of rant.

"Nobody overpays for players more than he does"

Jerry Jones and Al Davis are very offended by this comment.

It's a good thing Pioli and Haley aren't running AP or a lot of you guys would of been traded or cut for cast offs from the Pats Pulpit.

by KCporkchop on Oct 13, 2009 1:48 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Not to mention Snyder fired Marty Schottenheimer so Snyder could hire Steve Spurrier.

And I stand by my original statement that Snyder overpays like nobody else. If they are on the downside of productivity he will open the checkbook. Sort of like Carl Peterson minus the rewarding for loyal player service.

Did you see that Washington hasn't played a single team with a win yet?

Week 1: vs. 0-0 Giants.
Week 2: vs. 0-1 Rams.
Week 3: vs. 0-2 Lions.
Week 4: vs. 0-3 Bucs.
Week 5: vs. 0-3 Panthers.
Week 6: vs. 0-5 Chiefs.

Wow - good comment

That’s got to be some sort of oddity.

The scheduling formula is really baffling some times.

I've got nothing against Jim Zorn - heck, I've never even met the guy.

BUT, I do hope that we get him fired!

I agree. And I loved Zorn when he was a player.

Double Coverage Please!!!!

Why not put two people on the damn receiver who beat us Haley has to know 10 catches 250 yards unacceptable Same thing happened in Arizona he let Steelers #10 catch and then run i say forget going for interceptions until you learn to rap up. fundamentals damn I miss hasty,cherry,Albert Lewis,even dale carter.. P.S stop force feeding the ball to wade this is Dwayne team he should not have to reprove himself to the new coach check last years highlight reel.

I'm pretty sure Haley wasn't responsible for the D in the Superbowl

but feel free to rant away, it was entertaining.
