Redskins sue their fans.
On September 5, 2009, Washington Post reported that the Washington Redskins were seeking and obtaining monetary judgments from their fans that failed to purchase season tickets. Unlike the Baltimore Ravens, Redskin fans do not have to purchase a Personal Seat License (PSL). Instead, they sign a contract for number of years to have the exclusive right to purchase season tickets for specific seats. However, in these tough economic times, many fans are unable to purchase the season tickets. After a period of default, the Redskins are exercising their right for payment in full of all remaining years. To help coerce payment in full, they are seeking a money judgment to be entered against their fans.
Unfortunately, many of these fans are rolling over and letting the Redskins obtain large money judgments against them. These judgments accrue simple interest at 10% per year. Further, the Redskins are seeking attorney fees and court costs from the fans.
To collect on these judgments, the Redskins have a number of post judgment remedies in Maryland. One remedy is the attachment of the fan’s pay check. Each pay period, the Redskins would get 25% of the gross pay (if there are no other wage liens or wage garnishments). The Redskins can also attach the personal assets including fan’s bank accounts, fan’s automobiles, and fan’s homes.
