You have to remember.. for the most part the Redskins are still fighting a bit of what the Patriots are, maybe it's a Boston curse, but we were so good for so long that there are a lot of people who grew up hating us. That doesn't go away. They love to see the Redskins struggle. Hopefully we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel but some people just want to see us stay down.

I would like to buy into ur theory about us being hated for being so good for so long but um ....
We are hated because of Snyder, and all of his raise the bar paychecks to over the hill superstars and countless other self induced bad press. Also more recently the nickname. When we were winning all those years ago we were not hated. Far from it.
