Wearing Your Redskins Gear?

Im sure Arrington thinks its hilarious to look into the stands and see his jersey on just about 50% of the fans there. Im sure he really laughs out loud. What? Hell no, he loves it. So in your mind, when we all go to games we should wear anything but redskins jersey? Thats idiotic. You go on and not wear your gear.
We all wear our gear as a sense of pride among other people. It has absolutely nothing to do with people wanting to be players.

Just curious how you know LA loves it.

A sense of pride about what?

I doubt LA laughs but I also doubt he gives it a second thought.

Is that why half of the pro players sport throwback jersey's all the time? Your the one that is hilarious Irish. You go on thinking your better then someone that likes to represent there team. Your must be so freeking cool Irish. How do you live with all of us idiots in the world?

I myself am sporting my Sunny Jergensen 69' white throwback and my red scripts R hat. I can't wait untill kick off!

I know I am not on the team and nothing I say or do matters one whit to the team so I'll dress like an adult instead of a wanna-be player.

I'm not a big name caller but you're an asshole. I doubt many of the real fans around here would like to put up with more bullshit asshole comments like that. Leave if you can't have the spirit of a real fan. And I don't care about all your player "friends". If you think that the majority of them don't appreciare the support that real fans show and how they show it then you obviously weren't "friends" with any real players.

Don't pay any attention to Irish, he's obviously bitter and broken. People wear their gear to support their favorite teams, they don't think they are part of the team, just huge supporters. There is no reason for you to act like you're better than all of us and try to belittle the guys that are having fun. Take your grumpiness some where else!!!

Amen!

I'm not trying to belittle anyone. The thread asked what gear I wear and I answered what and why. I also passed along a story about what players I had come to become friends with thought of people who geared up for games. I suspect I'll have as much fun as anyone tomorrow rooting for the skins while partying with my buddies at my house.

Irish, are you The Grinch?

Anyone who wears NFL gear is doing so to show their alleigance, not to pretend to play for a team.

Irish, I think you kick puppies. I think you hate pizza, and apple pie, and wiffle ball, too.

Your logic doesn't make any sense to me, but however you want to represent the team is cool with me. We don't do the football gear thing in my office, but starting the second I get home tonight, I'll be in my Clinton Portis burgundy authentic. And, no I will not take it off until after the game, which means no I will not shower on Saturday!

Thats my point, I'm not trying to represent the team.

Schneed10, I guess you and I are "wanna-be" Clinton Portis' since we both are wearing our authentic jerseys.

Whatever dewd.
Saying that "players" do this and do that sounds like you are speaking about ALL Players. Where is your data to back up any of your statements on this topic?

Where is your data to support that even Redskins players don't wear Skins gear when "off the clock"?

Your statements are ungrounded and false. Prove me wrong.

I never said all players I only meant the one I was neighbors with (and then became friends) and some of his player buddies that would come by his house.

As for gear off the clock, my neighbor never did (or his buddies) and when I watch Pigging Out on Comcast or the Monday night show (also on Comcast)with Jansen and others, they dont have gear on either. I also dont see them wearing gear when being interviewed on the news heading home from the park in the evening. Small sample sizes I agree but facts nonetheless.
