Some of you guys are so used to losing and taking it sitting down it's not even funny. Do you even remember what it was like to cheer for a winning team? Has it really come to this, hating your own team so much that other team's fans make fun of us for not holding the faith for our own guys?

Like I said previously it isn't even about football. Its about a classless act from a Redskin. Do you think Joe was happy about it. NO. I guess if Joe came out and went off about it and said how wrong and ignorant it was, then you all would fall in line.

If Sean Taylor continues to spit on people and he is not caught by refs (and therefore does not hurt the team), do you want him to stay on the team? Or do you want to boot him?

Unfortunately being one who has posted probably 6 or 7 times on this I must reluctantly agree. We are discussing spitting. SPITTING. I guess we have nothing else to talk about right now.

Agreed. If Taylor hadn't gotten ejected and put the team at risk last weekend, I wouldn't care one iota if he was spitting. What I take issue with is the holier than thou attitude of some people in this thread.

Coming down on Sean Taylor for his DUI or his gun charge is just plain wrong and judgmental. The DUI charge was dismissed and the gun charge is still an ALLEGED INCIDENT, he has not been convicted. So for someone to lump this spitting incident in with those two events is presumptuous and judgmental.

Anyone who still wants Taylor on their team, and still wants to pass judgment on what kind of guy he is because he spat on Pittman, you don't deserve to be rooting for him this weekend.

I think the fact that St Joe hasn't come out speaks volumes about how much of the situation involved class(or lack thereof) and how much involved the realization that this is everyday stuff in professional football. I also don't think Joe is ever going to come out against his own player for spitting on a scum bag wife beater. Maybe if he did something more aggressive but not for spitting. It's not like Taylor spit on Joe Montana or Jerry Rice.

You're delusional.

Have you ever read any of the crap that Riggins got away with back in the "Golden Age" of Skins football? He used to get drunk in the clubhouse after practice and they'd find him passed out drunk in the locker room, pissing all over himself. You think an NFL head coach who's been around as long as Joe hasn't seen a LOT WORSE than this? :frusty:

Joe Gibbs is a great, kind, inspiring person, and he doesn't care for vulgarity and that sort of thing. But he's also a good judge of character and he hates to lose. Do you think he'd come out and say all the POSITIVE things he said about Sean Taylor after the game if he believed Taylor was as bunch of a piece of crap as YOU seem to think he is? Maybe Taylor told him what Pittman had said to him which made him spit. Maybe he told Gibbs he didn't spit at all.

So given that Gibbs defended Taylor's behavior this year as a good kid and didn't disparage him, maybe YOU should be the one falling in line instead of looking to crucify one of the best players on the team you claim to love.
