I'm not even sure what a fan is or why we act the way we do as fans and allow ourselves to accept such poor quality goods and services from the Redskins that we would not accept from the other businesses we patronize. From now on, I'm a customer first and a fan second and I demand good products and services on and off the field from my NFL team. I also demand to be treated with respect and courtesy by everyone in that team's organization.
Realistically, I know I'm not going to get what I demand from Dan Snyder's Redskins. The whole truth is that I've already had enough with Snyder. I don't like the way he treats me and his other customers. So, as soon as I can get over being a lifelong Redskins fan, I'm going to to hold my nose and give the Ravens a try. My self respect as a consumer of the NFL football experience demands a better service provider. I just want to enjoy being a fan of decent NFL team and organization.

Totally Agree with everything you said!
For me, however, while I'd like to root for the Baltimore Ravens, since my wife's family and three of my friends are Steelers Fans, rooting for the Ravens most likely won't be possible. So most likely I will probably adopt the Pittsburgh Steelers.
For now, I am simply a Football [emoji458] Fan. Next season I simply will 'pull for' teams that I like (Steelers, Bears, Saints, Packers, Panthers, etc) and I will still 'pull for' the Redskins, but without any real Fan Passion.
I will always be keep my label [emoji434] of Redskins Fan, but I won't go out of my way to follow the team, and I won't spend any money [emoji385] on the Redskins, until Dan Snyder changes (unlikely) or sells the team.
I kind of equate my feelings about the Redskins to a wayward family member. You will always love them, but because they have become so self destructive, you finally decided to give up on them until they decide to make a drastic change in their lives and stop their self destructive behavior.
