he email blares the advertisement in the old language of the franchise: “We Hail the Home Opener,” it says above logos of the Washington Redskins and the Indianapolis Colts, pushing tickets to the Sept. 16 game at FedEx Field. Tickets are available to that one, and the next week against Green Bay, and in October against Carolina and Dallas and — my goodness — to every single Washington home football game this year.

Concussion protocol came too late to help poor old Trent.
Even THIS article ignores the elephant in the room -- spoiled millionaires giving the finger to their fans and the flag of the country that gave them so much.
Never.
20 years ago they could not be had for love or money....................
My shadow won’t grace a Titans game only 25 miles from my house
Now college ball we enjoy
And my son plays high school which is a blast to be honest....it’s a lifestyle and fun
I remember football.
Vaguely.
Not worth the paper they are printed on
I quit watching the NFL when Colon first started acting up and the league let him.
“Good Redskins Tickets” is an oxymoron.
Reminds me of the old New Orleans Saints joke from the 80’s.
I had 2 tickets to give a way to a Saints game. So I left them on my windshield for someone to take.
When I came back there were 6 more.

I think the fans would trade Daniel Snyder for even Jerry Jones right about now...
Chiefs have plenty of $10 tickets, even Club Level seats for $33, for the TNF debut tomorrow.
Move the games to North Korea.
Then the government can order the citizens to attend. :-(
I’ve heard fans hate Dan Snyder, for various reasons.
I’ve heard too that their stadium is not a very pleasant game day experience, not the greatest place to watch a game. And that they are thinking about a new stadium.

20 years ago i’d have given my left arm for season tickets. 3 years ago i’d have taken them if you gave them to me. today i couldn’t care less.
Finally people have woken up to being gouged by the NFL.
