Red-Skins Nation?

Then you would have an awesome lawsuit!

True that. But is that beer induced, or fanaticism induced? Maybe both.

96.314159% - beer induced.
2% - office workers just pissed off about their job
1.58% - diehard Cubs fan

You have no idea how accurate that is. As a northsider, who isnt a Cub fan, the jokes of this nature are rampant around here.

100 to go til 1000!

Yeah, I went to a Cubs versus Tigers game this year on Father's Day. Mark Prior was making his first start off the DL. I expected the fans to be really into it but there appeared to be more Tigers fans at the game judging by the amount of cheers I heard whenever a Tiger's player hit a homerun that day. There was a lot of cheering since the Tigers hit 8 homeruns.

Wow, now that's precision. Nice work 724

[dmek25]

the part about 81 homes games a season compared to 8 hits it right on the head. no one could carry on the way rabid nfl fans do for that many home games without going insane or simply realizing by july 4th that their team is out of the pennant race already

I hope we don't become like the Red Sox Nation.

They're even worse than Yankees fans (my wife from NY is one, ha).

I've never met fans as jerky as BoSox fans.

Redskins fans have class.

cant call it redskin nation because there is not a majorly definitive redskin crowd in DC as in other places, such as steeler nation in the pittsburgh area where 95% of the evening news, in and out of season, revolves around the steelers, the fact is that there are so many people born and raised from different parts of the country that go to work around dc whether it be govt. jobs or just the good job market in the surrounding area that half the time youll walk into a bar on sundays and maybe more than half the people there will be sporting athletic wear from other teams, it sucks that we dont have the huge hometown type feeling like most other teams, for instance having to defend my skins to half my peers that are non-skins fans due to where they were born or because they jumped on a bandwagon of a good team in the mid 90's, but we definitley have a very large fanbase disperesed throughout the country

I don't think any team has a fan based as vast as the skins covering the mason dixon line on down to North Carolina. This is a redskin Nation.

All this talk about Redskins fans all over the country, but you forgot that there are many Redskin fans north of the 49th. I have lived in Calgary Alberta all my life and I even drove to Seattle a few years back to watch the Skins play the Seahawks. I am planning a trip to DC this year to watch the Skins-Falcons game.

People who like the Skins have to be true fans as we have had troubles in the past, so we did not jump on the bandwagon, cause no one would do that to themselves. I have been bugged from everyone about the Heath Shuler experiment, to snyder trying to buy a championship with Brice Smith and Dieon to even this year.

I love the skins and have since 1983 when I was 7 years old.

So I just wanted to make sure you did not forget the Skins are loved outside the USA as well.

Oh and Red Sox and Yankee (Yankmee) fans suck. So tired of having the Skins being compared to those two teams cause everyone thinks we buy our teams.

I'd assume any team has outside fans in this day and age. I forget b/c being an american you forget foreign countries exist at all. Whats canada like? Has there ever been an NFL team in canada?
