Skins Fans, Look at all the replies to this thread. One thing these boards allow people to do is show their ignorance. How many Redskins fans have really paid attention to the entire Marquise Hill story? While a few have tried to point out facts of the situation, most of the replies are "to hell with the Pats for not wearing '21' for the rest of the season, while most teams do", or "that's typical of the Patriots and how they do things". Yes, he wasn't wearing a life preserver while jet skiing, which obviously was unfortunate. But to have someone berate him because the female friend he helped save wasn't his wife or girlfriend is simply appalling. The Patriot players that knew Sean from the Univ. of Miami wore '21' stickers for the rest of the season, among them Vince Wilfork and Brandon Meriweather, who also had their own prayer before the Pats-Ravens game, but wasn't shown on the network broadcast.

I understand the hatred the Patriots have brought on themselves this season, but to bring it down to this level is simply below what I believed to be what true Redskins stand for. I had a great tailgate at the Pats-Skins game this season, and we had a great time with some friendly back and forth, which is how it should be. But to bring this down to who's death is more important, and be pissed off about how some folks/teams deal with it is not where Sean or Marquise would want this to go.

Best of luck next season to the Skins, but don't hate so much people. Negative energy has a way to come back and bite you in the butt. And try to enjoy 19-0...you won't see it again anytime soon.
