The image of Redskins fans?

That area is FAR from being "southern" .. I lived in NoVA and DC most of my life and it's NEVER been southern when I lived there

you can draw whatever line you want, it's just not.. the closest southern city is richmond and that's even teetering, but still has it

a statue doesn't mean anything, a highway name doesn't mean anything, and does the holocaust museum make it a jewish city?

You probably didn't hear the uproar when they put up an Arthur Ash statue. Some felt it was wrong to put him next to people who got shot and killed.

It's getting like that everywhere including the South. NOVA is about as southern as a Philly cheese steak. Miami and Atlanta aren't that Southern either.

Suburbia has no style for better or worst IMO. I don't know why there is a Holocaust museum in Richmond. I think a better place for it would be . . . . Berlin. But hey, it takes all kinds.

I had a friend of mine who was a St.Louis fan. He went to all of the games. He hated going up North to see a game. The people were terrible, drunk, and rude. He said when he went to see a Panther's game that the people were real nice and even bought him beer.

I've never been to a Redskins game but I'm planning on going to the Cowpuke's game this season. I'll give the Cowboy's fans a little shit but overall I'll conduct myself like a gentleman. Call it Southern, call it Virginian, it doesn't really matter. I think of it as self-respect.

I had turned my attention back to DC when mentioning the Holocaust museum but yeah Richmond has one too.. a lot of major cities seem to.

I'll be going to the Panthers vs Redskins game this year most likely down here in CLT so I'll have to see. They're a new team full of convert and new fans which tends to leave them a little less aggressive than most fans who've had teams for generations (notable exception being Ravens fans)

I'll look for you there Tryfuhl. BTW, I've been to a lot of Panthers games and they can be quite aggressive. The only upside is that the upper bowl of the stadium is 75% Skins fans. The funny thing is the people I see with old Redskins hats with Panthers jersey's during the preseason games.
We should do a Warpath meetup there this season.
