Fans Voicing Their Displeasure Through Facebook?!

Hey everybody, whats up? Many fans have found different ways of showing their frustration with their favorite professional sports teams play other than the traditional booing during games. For Washington Redskins fan Alan Pohoryles, he's using a form of technology to voice his displeasure with his favorite NFL team. Pohoryles is using facebook as a way to do this and has been quite successful in using it. He created a group called "Redskin Fans Against Daniel Snyder," who is the owner of the franchise. Currently there are more than 13,000 people in the group. He is now using the group to organize a "walkout" for the Redskin fans during their home game against the Dallas Cowboys on December 27th. The fans are planning on going to the game and leaving after the national anthem. Pohoryles claims to have not been much of a facebook user until the group took off and gained thousands of members. The organizing of the Washington Redskins walkout shows the great impact that facebook as a technology has on many different things including the sports world with certain sports teams and the actions of their fans.
