3. New to being a football fan? if not what team previously?
4. Who locked you in the basement?
5. Did you thank the person who let you out?
I know I sound like a dick and I'm sorry but I'm genuenly fascinated. Honestly.
Oh and Welcome to the Bandwagon.  |
lol. No offense taken, I'm here to learn and thanks fr asking.
I'm 22.
I'm a guy. And because I feel like there was an undertone in that statement, for the record I'm straight. =)
Yes I am completely new to being a football fan.
Alot of people locked me in the basement, and yes I gave myself a big pat on the back when I kicked open the lock and killed the door man. >=)
My story, if you really want to know, is basically this. I didn't grow up in a football house hold, and my friends were usally just not that into it. At least my close friends weren't. Thats just kind of the hand I was dealt. One day the bug just sort of hit me...Actualley the story is a little more interesting but it invovles politicts so I'll save it.
Anyway, fact is most people learn to love the sport from their parents and I didn't have that oppritunity. I came to it pretty late but look at it this way: I chosse to be here on my own. I was interested enough to put myself on the line, jump right in there with all you guys, and go ahead and embarass myself a few times saying stupid stuff out of ignorance. But I'm having a blast, loving every minute of it, and I love the redskins!
My only regret is that I never got to play as a kid. I'd like to still. I thought about trying out for an open flag league next year in my area if I learn the mechanics quick enough. I'm skinny, but I'm in good shape. I've been a martial artist all my life and already train vigorously. I'd love to know how it feels to complete a play.
I think this sport has so much to offer, and I'm glad times have changed and there seems to be alot more out reach to groups f people who normally would never have been able to get into the sport. Everyone here on the forum has been great, showing me the ropes and being patient with me. Good times sure to be had by all. =)
