NFL Doesn't Have A Problem With 'Skins Sign Ban

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The NFL is OK with the Washington Redskins' preventing fans from bringing any signs to home games.
League spokesman Greg Aiello called it "a team and stadium matter" in an e-mail to The Associated Press on Thursday.
Redskins COO David Donovan said during a radio appearance on 106.7 The Fan this week that spectators can't carry signs or banners into the stadium. He said the new ban is for fan security and comfort.
The policy coincides with an increase of signs critical of owner Dan Snyder and front office chief Vinny Cerrato during Washington's 2-5 start.
Aiello wrote that NFL teams are responsible for preventing the display of signs that obstruct sightlines or "which are inflammatory, derogatory or generally in bad taste."

Everywhere a sign
Remember that song by the Five Man Electrical Band? Maybe the Redskins management could use a little 1960's musical education!

Time for a Change !!!!!
Hey Dan - Don't you think that Vinny has damaged the Redskins enough?

Not me
Dear Redskins, You can do what you want because it's your field. Just don't expect me to come and buy your $12 beers.

its not to late!!
Dear dan snyder, it's not to late for you! We're awful now and we'll probably be awful for the rest of the year. I promise to still watch on tv as long as you make a promise to me. Fire vinny and hire a capable gm. With this act of good faith i promise to end my hiatus on redskins purchases and games. I also promise to stop turning down free tickets and resume calling my family and friends after games. I truly believe you love this team and city so i hope you can be big enough to realize you have made many mistakes for an extended period of time. Fix it dammit!!!!!

Hey danny boy
just because no signs are allowed isn't going to hide the fact that ds and vc suck as owner and gm
