Hill is one of 125 season ticket holders who asked to be released from multiyear contracts and were sued by the Redskins in the past five years. The Washington Post interviewed about two dozen of them. Most said that they were victims of the economic downturn, having lost a job or experiencing some other financial hardship.
Many of the sued fans who were interviewed by The Post said that when they requested relief, they were offered settlements that required them to make hefty payments over time.
Among those sued are mortgage brokers, real estate developers, government workers, plumbers, construction contractors, lobbyists, lawyers and several car salesmen. |
What are the Redskins to do, you sign a multiyear deal to get the discount, then breach your contract - the reason doesnt matter. If the Redskins allowed this then someone might be able to sue them if he/she wants to get out for whatever reason.
On the flipside - who signs a 10 year ticket contract agreement.
