If You Changed Your Allegiance...

Why would I want to root for a lousy team? I guess I'd pick the 49ers if I had to.

Damn that is harsh, but unfortunately true. I am sticking with the Skins. I do root for the Lions since I am in the Detroit area, but always the Skins even against the Lions.

I think is funny that people are willing to not to put on a Cowboys jersey, but quick to jump ship and "leave" the Redskins to root for another team.

Ok what I don't get is the below .500 stipulation... Niners (SF is one of my favorite cities)

... I will never pledge allegiance to another team. NEVER. Even if Snyder owns the team my whole life and does no better than he's done so far. HTTR.

Below .500 so everyone isn't just saying "Oh well, the Patriots" or "The Steelers" etc. Just wanted people to think about some teams that are doing poorly (worse than the Skins) these past two seasons that they would embrace because they like the team, they think the team has a strong future.

I wouldn't. I won't. If I could...it would have already happened.

MeanEvilSkin · 01-16-2009, 09:23 PM

If I changed my allegiance, it would be from Pro Football to strictly college. Honestly, if the Skins keep stinking it up and the league doesn't improve the refs, I might just bolt. This league is rigged....me thinks.

Since college football has such a perfect and fair system like the BCS, right?

The College Bowl system rewards teams and fans with atleast one big game at the the of the season. Face it, if you're going tothe Holiday Nuts Bowl, at least it's a big deal for your school and fans.

The NFL is rigged in its officiating. I don't think College has fallen to that level yet.

The College system reward the teams with the most money, and money is the reason why you will never see any type of playoffs system. You can never say that any team has a chance at the BCS championship game, b/c only those teams from the top conferences have a realistic chance. Ask a team like Utah how fair the college football system is.

Honestly the College Bowl System is ridiculous now, they have so many freaking bowl games, I think it cheapens the whole concept of a postseason bowl game. The Terps went to the Humanitarian Bowl, and while this was "nice", to me personally it wasn't that big of a deal given the fact that the team stunk it up towards the end of the season.

Raiders.

Because if you root for anyone else in their stadium... You get stabbed. That's threatening enough for me to jump on board.

davy · 01-16-2009, 09:24 PM

Ain't going to happen. The Skins could go 0-16 for the next 10 years and they would still be my team.

If I had to have a second team from that lot it would be the Chiefs.
