That old bellwether of average dope sports sentiment Bill Simmons has been consistent in calling Washington at least one of the worst sports towns in America, along with Atlanta and a few other places, for the past year, especially after the Steelers MNF "towelgate" or whatever its called. I guess those bright yellow clusters of towels were just obvious enough for him and others to process and file.

I think that's crap personally. You don't judge a fanbase by the rich frontrunners who happen to live in the town and nominally support the team, and who do all kinds of stuff that annoys others like selling tickets to a rival team's fans and leaving after the third quarter of a still winnable game and - gasp - drinking wine in a football stadium. No, you look at the core group of fans that sticks with the team through good times and bad. Given that measure, Skins fans are as good as any in the league.
