Perfect
Imagine this;
50-60 Anti-York protesters chanting “Sell the Team” as Dr. John York himself
crouches down in the back of a limo.
Perfect. That's what happened
Saturday before the game against the Redskins.
I can't imagine any better protest.
As players drove in and saw us chanting they pumped their fist, some even
giving out high fives. Much of the
security
and ushers supported the movement. We even had an ABC 7 news camera there filming
our chants. Sports writer Glenn Dickey
seemed to have come out of his way to stop by and give his support. We also had a mysterious man in a suit taking
many pictures of us at our tailgate.
Once I got
into the stadium I must have had at least 50 people asking where I got the shirt
or yelling “Dump York!” Rude Dude and
company snuck in a Dump York sign and held it up in the 4th quarter. Julian Peterson looked at us
and smiled, that was enough.
Again as the
game wound down and the 49ers headed towards another loss I saw that guy in the
suit again, but he was standing around the 49ers bench. Then he took out his camera looked around to
make sure no one was looking and then hit the button. Then he looked around again as he slowly put
the camera away. Maybe we have a Dump
York supporter with very close connections.
The protest
was awesome. And always remember; "We didn't lose
the game; we just ran out of time." Vince
