A Skins fan and his lack of class.

Under all circumstances, someone wearing Redskins gear should be honored as "one of us", and his or her behavior interpreted in the best possible light. By the same token, anyone wearing the gear of our division rivals should be regarded with the most intense derision and disgust, regardless of how "noble" they may appear to act, or however undeserving of criticism they are in "reality."

The person sliding down the rails drunk is a Redskins fan first and should be seen as simply having innocent fun. The fact that he endangered the health of other Redskins fans is problematic at first glance. However, what team was responsible for having a railing for him to slide down? Was that the Redskins - or the GIANTS? What team served the low quality swill that intoxicated him? Was that the Redskins? Come on.

Now, it is true that certain Redskins PLAYERS deserve our virulent scorn, no matter how "unfair" or "unreasonable" it may be in "truth." If the game doesn't go our way, it is certainly reasonable to attack players and coaches for being unable to procure a win for old DC. But fans deserve unconditional freedom from criticism.

But seriously, sorry you had to go through that experience. Personally I feel that what goes around comes around though and his stupidity will catch up with him I am sure.
