A great way to stick a thumb in a rival's eye.

I was talking about what the Redskins need to do, not what the lady has to do. If she breached the contract, then I assume the Redskins will sell their tickets to the next person on the waiting list. If for some reason they had to sell it for less, then the lady would be liable for the difference (putting the team in the position they would have been if the contract hadn't been breached).

If I were in her situation, I would try to find people to take the seats each week(like list the on Stub-hub as an example). That way I still retain the season tickets. Isn't it kinda funny that the Redskins had their best success in the Snyder era while Joe Gibbs was coaching? Mark S.:

Varying degrees of success (including a championship) in the 90's, bad ownership moves, and a ridiculous cosmic payment for it this decade. It's out of respect for Redskins fans that I hope their team fails miserably this year so they can only go up.

He's a putz - and a major league putz with minor league ownership skills at that. He sucks and his after market ticket scalping money gouging mindless, headless organization sucks.

I live in the Philly area though I am not an Iggles fan. I do know that there is a 50,000 waiting list for Iggles season tickets. Are you telling me there isn't a waiting list for Redskins tickets? It would take five minutes worth of work to find the next person or two in the waiting line to take these tickets. It's expensive(and stupid) to sue your fans in this situation. If I were the lady, I'd publicize this far and wide. Snyder would eventually back off after the bad publicity. Crusty Dem:

The Redskins have always intrigued me. They consistently suck so hard that a perfect vacuum is formed where ever they go; but you could set your watch to the milllions(billions ?) that they rake in every season from their fanatical fans that never seem to mind that the RedSkins are, and will continue to be infinite FAIL.
