Coat Drive

mredskins · 11-19-2009, 10:20 AM

Don't know if this is thread worthy but I found it sad.

I live just north of Baltimore and my company is having a coat drive for the homeless. Of the 200 coats or so that have been donated about 20 to 25 are Redskin's coats.

They even set up a box just for Redskin's coats!

Everytime I walk by it I hang my head.

=(

I still have my Redskins Starter jacket I wore in high school, still fits too I'm proud to say. I could just never part with it.

I will be honest, my father in law gave me a Redskin's coat a few years back. It is really old and it is like that High School Letterman type jacket, yeah that want in the donation box.

I make no decisions this season I will live to regret.........(hopefully) next season...

Whenever I clean out my closet and donate old stuff I always have a really hard time parting with any Skins stuff.

^ I hear you but really we could have been on a three Super Bowls in a row run and this coat was going. I never wore it.

I don't have but one coat and like one jacket so I have to hold on to them.

why would this be BS? I know a lot of charities do coat drives. My old company in colorado did one every year. and in northern baltimore, I could see a little added flavor by collecting Skins jackets. Where is the room for bs?
