Fake Redskins fans

Just because I just joined the Warpath does not mean that I am a "bandwagon fan". I have been a fan for years, and am driving 15 hours to go to the game, Porterhouse are you making the trip? enjoy the game from your couch nuff said!

Yeah they need Love TOO

Been a Redskins fan since 1980 and haven't regretted it since. Yeah, you can't say much about those who are just now joining the forum. It's those who talk crap about the team and once they make the playoffs, they get the "I knew they could do it all along" attitude that burns me up.

Damn, that was harsh Babe.

I have no problem with new fans or anyone new who joins the site. I have a problem with those who won't be fans when and if we start sucking. We have suffered for 14 years of turmoil to only have folks jump on and then jump off when times get tough. Some so called "redskin fans" today, will be "BIG browns fans" tomorrow.

How do you know they're not fans when we suck? Just because they call for certain players to get benched or cut, or start criticizing Gibbs and the coaching staff DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARE NOT FANS. They're voicing an opinion, no matter how ill-informed others may perceive it to be.

Similarly, say, if someone joins the site when we're on a win streak, and then takes a long leave of absence when we suck or are eliminated from the playoffs DOES NOT MEAN THEY AREN'T A TRUE FAN. It simply is more fun to join a forum and talk about things when a team is winning.

I think he's talking about people that like the redskins today because we are on a win streak and because we are a good team, but then later on you see that same fan on say, the Colts forum after they win a superbowl, talking about how great the colts are, and how he/she loves them so much.

True, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who gets a tad bit frustrated by those who say stuff like "Oh Brunell is starting the Dallas game? Well then, season over. Forget the Redskins!" Or when we had a 3-game losing streak "That's it, I'm done. No playoffs this year. Thanks for wasting another season for me Redskins!"

Then the next thing you know we start winning and they're back. I know it's a natural inclination to get upset by losses or moves you don't agree with. But there were several people who were convinced the playoffs were not going to happen at 5-6 and that the team had let them down again. I remember one person here was like "you've broken my heart too many times Redskins. No more" It just seems odd to bail on the team, or at least say you will, then come right back when they start winning again.

But how long you've been on this board isn't a measure of how big a fan you are.

I agree, I think how long you've been a fan is as good a measure as any or for that matter, how rabidly you want the skins to win would work too!

I wholeheartedly agree. plus I know for me I was speaking from expirience outside of this site even though there have definitely been some "fans" who have posted here and made me pissed off when they say they can't stand to watch the team anymore and that they give up being a fan.

You cant measure a real fan by how long they've cheered for a team. I became a redskins fan in january 88 when i met all the players when they were down in san diego for the Superbowl. 5 seconds after meeting Ricky Sanders and Raleigh McKenzie I was a real redskins fan. I guess i could be one of the band wagon people...

But, I have cheered them every single week since. I've watched every schottenheimer game, Every Heath Shular pass, Every Ritchie Petibone Game, ....

If i was forced to create a measuring stick for true redskins fans, i would have to say a Real redskins fan "Suffers" on sunday. Win or Lose. if you think you are a redskins fan and can forget about the previous loss the next day at work, you probably arent a fan. The losses stick with real fans. Thats why the MNF game against dallas was so great, True dallas fans will suffer from that loss for a long time.

I still cant get over Dan Turks botched snap in the last playoff game against tampa. We matched up well with the two super bowl teams. i think we wouldve won that year.
