How did you become a Redskins fan?

[MTK]

I was a football fan from a very early age. I loved 'Inside the NFL' as a kid almost as much as cartoons. I didn't really have a team until SB XVII. Riggins and the 'Skins won me over that day and I've been a die hard ever since.

Living in NY I get quite a few 'Skins games a year so it's not as bad as you would think, plus there's always the sports bars. Both Giants games are always on, and with the Philly and Dallas games usually at least one game each of the series is on TV. Then there's the usual 2-3 primetime games and a couple of national games.

Growing up my parents ran a bar and we had a couple of satellite dishes. So on sunday's I'd hang out in the bar and watch the Skins. I think the old guys got a kick out of this little kid decked out in Skins gear glued to the TV.
