"Be a Good Sport - Be a Designated Driver" was the universal cheer for Washington Redskins fans during their regular season game against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday October 26, 2009 at FedEx Field in Landover, MD.

The Washington Redskins, Anheuser Busch, and TEAM Coalition partnered to educate fans about the importance of designating a driver and demonstrating positive fan behavior. And the spokespeople for this important message were Redskins fans themselves.

US DOT / NHTSA 2008 NATIONAL DATA:
  • In 2008, 11,773 people were killed as a result of alcohol-related (BAC > 0.08) car crashes, a decline of 9.7% from the 13,041 fatalities in 2007
  • Many, if not most of those lives would have been saved if people did not drive when they were impaired by alcohol or if they used sober, designated drivers or if they simply wore their seat belts.
  • Statistics and research clearly show that 21-34 year old males are the demographic most likely to be involved in an automobile crash, drive when impaired by alcohol, and fail to buckle up.
