Don't cry if the stadium is 1/3 full of Cowboy fans. Lived in Warrenton my entire life glad i haven't met many ******** like you seem to be

No offense, but the OP's outrage is highly illogical. So you are totally ok with him selling the tickets for $3000 to anyone. What you have a problem with is that he indicated he would only sell them to Skins fans, but gave in and was willing to sell them to a Cowboys fan? To me that indicates that he would have preferred to sell to a Skins fan, but ultimately decided if he could make that much money off of the tickets he would sell them to a Dallas fan who at least promised not to be an ass. What part of your brain makes you think that this is WORSE than a seller who is openly willing to sell to anybody and doesn't even make an attempt to sell to Skins fans?

To sum it up, he listed the ticket for a absurd price, and wished to only sell to a Redskin fan. You baited him into thinking you were a well-behaved Cowboys fan, and would pay $3k for the seats when neither was true. So basically you lied twice intentionally, and he lied once unintentionally by giving in and selling the tickets to a Cowboys fan. So why exactly is he the bad guy here?

You said, "Scumbags like this guy are the reason we see FedEx taken over by opposing fans."

Uh, people who put "REDSKINS FAN ONLY" in their ticket listings are the reason Fed Ex is being taken over by opposing fans? Really? Wouldn't you think that by doing that he would DECREASE the number of Dallas fans trying to buy the tickets from him, and have a better chance of selling them to a Skins fan? I hate when opposing fans take over our stadium too but if I had a chance to offload a pair of tickets for a months salary I might consider it. He at least attempted to make sure a Skins fan was taking his place; if you had never contacted him and he had somebody who was actually a Skins fan interested in buying them I'm sure there was a good chance he would have sold the tickets to a Skins fan, albeit at a possibly lower price.

I could understand if you were mad about him selling them for a ridiculous price, or for intentionally selling them to the highest bidder, but your position makes zero sense.

Well said. This just about mirrors where I stand on this.
