Post removes reference to burning couches after Redskins game

The Washington Post’s request for Redskins fans to send video highlights of their reactions — win or lose — to the Redskins Sunday night game against the Dallas Cowboys drew the ire of some fire officials for referencing a local tradition of burning couches.

A blog posted on washingtonpost.com Friday encouraged fans to capture their emotions during and after the Redskins final regular season game, a battle for the NFC East title, by taking video, uploading it to YouTube and submitting the link to the video on the Post’s website.
