The Twittersphere is blowing up this morning with stories of fans being ejected from last night’s game for anti-Snyder propaganda. Dan Steinberg at the DC Sports Bog has been at the forefront of what is being called the Burgundy Revolution, so I’m sure he’ll have further documentation of this throughout the day.
Snyder’s Minions Eject Fan From Skins Game For Anti-Snyder Banner
↵But at my other home, Mr. Irrelevant, we have a very specific story from one Redskins fan, who was booted from the Redskins game and apparently banned from FedEx field for life (although I have no clue how they’d enforce this). The reason? He held up a banner that read “Snyder…B-I-N-GO F Yourself.”
↵More from the fan himself:
↵↵In the third quarter, one of my friends and I took out the banner and were holding it up. Next thing I know, four security guys are coming up both sets of stairs and headed right for us. They take my banner and tell us we have to leave the stadium. On the way out a bunch of people in the section are taking pictures and chanting “Free Speech!”
↵Once we got to the concourse area they asked for my ID, which I quickly tried to pass off to a friend. One of the security guys snatched my wallet and wrote down my drivers license info in his little black book. I guess that means means I’m banned from the stadium or something. They then escorted my three friends and I all the way from the 400 level out to the front gate.

Granted, “F Yourself” isn’t exactly child-proof (hardly the worst thing you’d see or hear at an NFL game though), but these fans were ejected without any warning whatsoever. You think that happens if the Skins have a winning record? Probably not. But this is how Dan Snyder has chosen to endear himself to the fanbase — weed out the haters one at a time until there are no fans left at all. Except for those who are at FedEx Field to root for the opposition, of course. They're always welcome.
