What are you going to do about it?

[SmootSmack]

Not going to do anything. I'll keep rooting for them to succeed, watching them on tv, going to a game if I get a chance, and living my life like it ultimately doesn't matter to me if they win or lose. Which it doesn't. Only difference is if I'm a little happier Monday morning or not.

I know for some people here it's "I just love this team so damn much, they're my life, without them I'm nothing"

Not for me, I love the team but they're not my life. I guess I've been blessed enough in real life to not have to say they are.

This is where I'm at. I leave my feelings "on the field" so to speak. I used to carry the lingering affects of a win or loss for days after the Skins played. Now, by the time they've switched games or moved on in programming, I'm done. For me, life's too short to let something I have no control over affect me for longer than it needs to. And while I'm still a very passionate Redskins fan and will curse and yell and scream as well as cheer and whoop it up, today's another day. No matter who owns the Skins, who wears their uniform on the field, or what stadium they are playing in, I will always be a Redskins fan.

I'd be lying if I said that the Skins don't play a big part in my life. There wouldn't be a board if this wasn't the case for many people. With that said I'll say this again, if the only thing I have to worry about is a garbage football squad, life is good.

I hear you, but come on- your 25,000+ post disagree that the skins are a major part of your life.

I mean they're not a major part of my life in that their success has no real bearing on me. I love the team and I love talking about them with intelligent fans, and Matty has led the way in making this this best place for that so I post a lot here.

But they are, at the end of the day, simply a diversion.

I spent four years with the Redskins being a very major part of my life and it was during that time that I realized they didn't need to be. Still love them though
