Robert Henson not making any friends with the fans...

Am I the only one that thinks the home fans were a complete joke yesterday?

The booing at half-time was warranted. But when the game was coming down the wire the crowd barely made a sound until the last drive. That is pathetic. Then these same idiots boo...AFTER A WIN.

Seriously? Um, we are not the Steelers. We are not the Patriots. Has it really come to this? WE ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO TAKE WINS FOR GRANTED.

If you are a person who won't cheer your team when they need it but then will boo after we win, just sell your tickets to a real fan because you are an embarassment. One of the last things that this team could trumpet was fan loyalty and even that is going down the toilet.

Fans pay for their tickets, they can boo all they want. Does that make it right? Not necessarily.

The fans aren't idiots.. They're just tired of seeing this team struggle year in and year out against teams who are obviously worse than they are.

Redskins fandom is a weird thing. We'll hate you when you're bad and love you when you're good. But I think the Redskins have some of the most loyal and classiest fans you'll ever meet.

Plus, you're not taking into account that Henson basically patronized and alienated the entire Redskins fan base by saying, he makes more than we'll ever make working our 9 to 5. That is screaming Napoleon complex.

If Henson had a problem with the booing and tweeted his feelings about it with some TACT, that's okay. But the fact he was a complete douchebag, is what's getting him so much backlash.

I agree with you 100%. I was ashamed to be a redskins fan yesterday, and it had nothing to do with their play. It had to do with my fellow "fans" at the game booing and throwing garbage at their team. The fans at FedEx were the worst in sports yesterday. That said, Henson's comments, especially about his salary, were WAY out of line.

Just because you have a few bad eggs, doesn't mean you throw out the whole dozen. What conspired at Fedex field, and throwing of garbage, is not representative of the Redskins fanbase as a whole, at least in my opinion. I've never seen or heard about fans doing that in the past. Hopefully people like that don't keep coming to the games or else they're going to get us a bad rep.

But the way Henson basically referred to the entire Redskins fanbase as dim wits? Yeah. Not okay. Those people who were throwing shit at him are the idiots. The rest of us wanna see him out on the field, kicking ass and winning games, as bad as I'm sure he wants to be out there.
