I have a new revenue stream idea for Daniel Snyder: an express lane into FedEx Field that opens the second a Redskins’ loss at home becomes official, to be used by the region’s Caps’ fans and others who’ve been bullied and bludgeoned into hating the football team by the all-consuming media orgy engufing it. We’d park our cars, take a seat in the emptied stadium, be able to purchase grossly overpriced draft beer there for 90 minutes following the game, and simply sit there and revel in Mr. Snyder’s agony as the sun sets. It’d be even better if the JumboTron replayed key plays in the Skins’ demise that day as we sipped our beer. A win-win arrangement, no?
It’s $25 to park your car there for a Skins’ game, but for the post-game anti-Skins reveling, I’d be willing to pay $10. Given a month to organize — and in another four weeks the Skins will be mathematically eliminated from playoff contention — I might be able to recruit 1,000 such revelers. That’s $100,000 just in parking fees for He Who Reminds No One of Jack Kent Cooke.
Most of us would be outfitted in Caps’ gear; indeed, it might be a fine idea under such an arrangement for the Caps to lease souvenir space to sell clothing badges of honor to the revelers.

Sounds like a plan.
BTW, it’s now $35 for the “privilege” of parking a mile away and ride a shuttle bus. Snyder is alienating a bunch of long time Redskins fans by his money grubbing and his bad personnel decisions on the field.
