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.

I started following football the year Dan Snyder purchased the team. I missed Gibbs, and the days of when this was a proud franchise. Losing is all I know.
Im born and raised in an area right in the middle of Eagles and Giants territory, and it’s a long story on why I chose to follow the Skins, but I’ve always had to deal with being surrounded by Eagles and Giants fans and everything that brings. I’ve watched them have success under Reid and Peterson some from nonstop winning seasons, to countless NFC East titles, to NFC crowns, two Super Bowl appearances and a title. I’ve watched the same with the Giants winning TWO titles, and various playoff runs.
It’s been extremely hard, but I never gave up. I always showed up, and supported my team until I was Blue in the face. I’ve spent countless dollars and hours on a franchise I love so much. I’ve been the brunt of jokes and teasing at the Redskins expense.
I’ve reached the point of being enraged, and close to giving up. Apathy will set in soon, and I’m starting to show those signs. Meanwhile, most of my friends are hosting Eagles playoff game parties, again, another season. While our team is sitting at home, again, another season.
This organization has been a last place, losing, pathetic, bottom feeding, embarrassment for 20+ years now. I wish I was around when Gibbs and George Allen coached.
And you people wonder why I post the way I do......
