She even offered me 2 tickets for the Skins @ Bengals game in London last season and really enjoyed the experience. Late in the 3rd QTR she smiled at me and proudly said "I managed to see the ball through the whole play!" so obviously what happened on the field was a bit obscure to her but we had a lot of fun.
I always thought team sports are something important, impactful and beautiful to have in a human society. It brings together people (on and off the field) that would not even have met without sport, and it allows them to fight, cheer, work hard, laugh and cry together and support each other...
And American Football is the ultimate team sport. I never played anything bringing such a strong team spirit. This is a beautiful sport that has something deep and meaningful that no stats can explain. It teaches a lot about yourself and life.
As for the Skins, it wasn't a rational choice at all, I just felt watching games highlights and videos that this was my team. Always been on the side of the underdogs that fought with everything they got, and I think in way the Redskins symbolise this, so this might be why. I also liked the fight song a lot !
Finally, I'm so glad I found this board, along with playing 2 years and then officiating when my professional life didn't allow me to play anymore (and listening to Cooley&Kevin quite often!), it helped me deepen my understanding of this game a lot.
If you watch my first posts here you'll see someone that really doesn't know much about Football.
I learned a lot here!

Just like you, I’m glad I found this board, but for different reasons. I was formerly a member of ExtremeSkins, and well, the mods didn’t like me very much there. That led me here, where I feel I can say more of how I really feel. Football and all other team sports are definitely great at bringing people together. I’m glad we are football and Redskins fans! Let’s enjoy these playoff games!
