Re: The image of Redskins fans?
When I was in 9th grade my teacher, an Eagles fan, returned on a Monday from an Eagles/Steelers game. He had a wired jaw, two black eyes, and his arm was in a sling. His buddy told a Steelers fan that T.O. was a more prolific receiver than Lynn Swann. My teacher was stuck in a brawl and got the brunt of the altercation...
As a Redskins fan I thought this was pretty funny. The worst fans, or probably the dumbest, are Cowboys fans. I used to get surrounded every Saturday when I lived in Texas. They would make up facts and stats and of course when everyone thinks they are true (Tony Romo has broken the record for most TD's in a season, Marion Barber is the next Walter Payton, The Cowboys have won 6 super bowls... etc.), and I am the only one who knows they are not, being a Redskins fan denies my credibility. I will sit back and critique my team. I see the flaws, and care about how they are fixed. Cowboys fans think their team is the best, and the flaws of all 31 other teams are the reason why they cannot win a playoff game!! Granted, there are a few of us that are irrational, but I have talked to plenty more rational than irrational.
Quick Question:
Why are the "pundits" so worried about making Snyder look bad? Our image problems stems from the media. Jerry Jones is a tycoon who makes horrible decisions, and has an overrated team year after year. Al Davis is a senile crazy man who will do anything to smell a playoff game before his demise. How are they any better than Snyder?
