Re: Robert Henson not making any friends with the fans...

And don't do it in such a tone, as if you earned the right to do it! That's what really get's my goat about his tweet. I could maybe take some shit like this from a Clinton Portis, a John Riggins, or a Chris Cooley. Maybe. Someone that came here and made a difference from day one. Someone that showed deference to the uniform and the rich tradition of this organization. But Robert Henson? Who in the hell are you, with no sense of Redskin tradition and pride, to come here and say that the fans are fake? You don't know shit about D.C. and how this city (and it's fans) have endured many barren years and supported this team through thick and thin.
I've seen a lot of Redskins come and go since the '80s. And I've seen many booed and many come under fire, but never have I seen a player of this organization pick a beef with the fans of this great city and make it so personal. Tweet that.
And by the way, it's okay for the fans to boo their team once in a while.
