Re: Overseas Redskins fans (non American born) sign in here
Well, all of my family have been Redskins fans since the late 60's. But when I was born then 3 weeks later the skins won the super bowl. So its really special to me!

Re: Overseas Redskins fans (non American born) sign in here
Easy.
School in Germany in the 90´s. Everybody and his brother was a Cowboys fan. I, being the hateful ass that I am, looked who their biggest rival / hate / whatever was and became a Skins fan. Then I lost sight of the NFL for a couple of years due to other interests. When starting to play the game myself in 2005 (at the grandfatherage of 26) I got back to sport, the NFL and the Redskins. And since I started coaching (football-cripple) I watched our game from a different view, and enjoyed even the bad ones - I could always learn. Only saw one NFL game live though - 2008 Saints vs Chargers in London. Actually made me like the Saints quite a bit, too. |

Re: Overseas Redskins fans (non American born) sign in here
Because I am US-born I have nothing to contribute other than the observation that this is an interesting thread.

Just as an example I live in a small town in Norfolk England and off the top of my head my postman is a 49er and I work with a lifelong Redskins fan. |

I played as a WR ( incredibly ineptly) for the Ealing Eagles in '89. It just fueled my love for the game after I realized how difficult what pro player do, and make it look relatively easy

Re: Overseas Redskins fans (non American born) sign in here
Been a Liverpool FC fan all my life, but seeing the governing bodies fail to take action against reckless over-spending by billionaire bank-rolled, previously irrelevant teams has left me disillusioned with the game for a few years now.
Anyway a buddy of mine (Eagles fan) advised turning my attention to the NFL back in '08/'09 so and I looked to picking a team. What appealed to me then about the 'Skins were the same things that I grew to love about Liverpool, which were primarily the great heritage and an incredible fanbase who have stuck around despite all the adversity. Much like the mainland then, the games popularity is increasing all the time here in Eire, with more and more teams getting involved in the IAFL on both sides of the border.
