Maybe the NFL should dictate his attire off the field as well. Hell, just go ahead and tell him how he needs to vote, what religion he needs to abide by, and what sexuality he needs to choose. Some of you fans are just LOL. Now, come game day he's wearing a Pittsburgh attire, then get back with me and I'll side with you.

It's interesting how corporate america has brainwashed people into "being loyal" to your company! Make no mistake about it, the Redskins are a business first and foremost. Also, the hypocrisy in it all is even more of a laugh.

Here is the mindset from many fans:
1) all players should be loyal to their team and should take pay cuts to stay with said team
2) all fans should be loyal to their team and continue to cheer for them regardless of how incompetent the owner/front office is


On the opposite spectrum:
1) Teams can cut players and trade them and this is fine. Loyalty to that players isn't required.
2) Teams can gouge fans to see the product or even simply lock out the season.


Newsflash: They have no loyalty to the players or the fans so none is needed back.

If I walked around with another insurance companies shirt or hat on people that know where I work would think I'm crazy. Your point makes no sense.

The difference is. You are trying to sell a product, he is NOT. His job is to play football, not market the Redskins(unless it's called for on team promotional appearances).

I would say he is having to sell himself more then ever.

So do you (and others) think that if it came down to a decision between him and Austin for the last roster spot that 2 time SB winning coach Mike Shanahan and former Executive of the Year Bruce Allen will make their decision based on fashion choice?!?

Damn I can't wait for camp to start so we ACTUALLY have something to talk about.

I'm quite positive football players don't sell themselves by the type of clothes they wear, but through their play on the football field.


Keep grasping at straws though.

This whole discussion is about apparel.
