This is interesting. Did this happen a lot during the season? And where did you see him?

Since the beginning of time the world has been divided between patriots and traitors, statesmen and pirates, nobles and villains. For those of us native to the DC region who chose to follow our fathers into Redskins fandom, we are the good, decent people. For those bamas who, never having spent a day of their pathetic lives in Dallas, nevertheless chose to adopt the star as their mantle, well, I wish pestilence upon their blighted souls.

I’ve met a lot of DC area Cowboys fans in my day and, to a person, they are just kind of shady people. They like the Cowboys partly to spite their dads, perhaps, but mostly for the same reason they like the Yankees, Bulls, and Bluedevils – they are frontrunners who put winning before loyalty, and the Cowboys happened to be winning around the time they were choosing their favorite teams (in contrast, I was born into all of my teams).

I don’t care for them.

Bravo djnemo! Spoken with honor and dignity, like a true Redskin fan! Damn the gutless bastards! I would want them by my side neither in battle nor peacetime as they CANNOT be trusted. HAIL REDSKINS!!!

Onward Christian Soldiers was proposed as the original fight song for the Skins. Luckily that didnt happen.
