The Washington Redskins have made a decision.

They want you to express yourself, hey, hey.

That's right. Starting today, you can bring back your signs that read, "C'mon, not again!", "Dump Vinny!" or "Fire Snyder!" to the stadium.

"We have no intention of trying to control our fans’ varied ways of expressing their views on the Redskins organization and the team’s performance,” David Donovan, the team’s Chief Operating Officer, who has overall responsibility for the stadium, said in a statement.

Even Danny's on board. With a couple of caveats.

 

“We’ve disappointed our fans so far this season, and I’m as disappointed as they are,” said team Owner Daniel M. Snyder. “I understand that some fans want to express their feelings with signs and they should do so, as long as they stay within the boundaries of good taste and don’t block the view of other fans."

(Oops. Guess that means he wouldn't be thrilled with our sign idea above...)

So what's your sign going to read?
