I've lived in the DC area my whole life so I follow this team closely.

Yea, i find myself bashing VC/DS on Warpath but yet i tend to want to take up for them to the "outside" world. Kind of like family. I can call my sis an idiot all i want but when someone else does i'll take up for her.

Why I chose to be a Redskins fan is different than why I choose to be one now.

When I chose to become a Redskins fan they we're on the television all the time (still are), they were a good football team, and they were the hometown team (still are).

Why I choose to still be a fan is because of loyalty . . . . masochistic, painfull, gut-wrenching loyalty. I guess it would be like being married to a woman who put on a few pounds after she's had children. Sure there are plenty of other good looking women available but your wife is your wife, for better or worse.

I've made a commitment to this team for better or worse. There are a few things that could happen that would break that bond but not many.
