Re: Further Proof of an Anti Redskins Bias in the National Media

I just believe that being a fan has more responsibility than undying loyalty. Just like being a citizen of the United States requires more than sitting there and saying US RULES! USSR sucks (We're the Redskins, they're Dallas!) You have to question things, you have to look at things from many viewpoints. It's part of being a well-rounded citizen. If people took citizenship the same way they take being a football fan then our country would be in dire straights.
I hear what you're saying and you have some good posts, some not so good posts (but we're pretty much all that way) but I think that a lot of people here get the impression that you're just consisently bitter and almost looking to get noticed by being negative. And it extends beyond Gibbs and the Redskins:

Star Wars-hated it
Phil Jackson-most overrated coach ever
Baseball-sucks
Baseball in DC-will never work

But I do agree with you that we might be reading too much into what King has written. I don't think it reflects any sort of bias and the best way to erase any doubt is to win
