Brian Mitchell on Redskins fans

I love you too.

Thanks guys, my fears are allayed.

Hey all,

Did anyone else hear the Brian Mitchell Show today on 980? Brian Mitchell said, and I quote: "Even last year, there were more Dallas Cowboy jerseys than Redskin jerseys at FedEx field." This was part of a larger coversation between BMitch and Bram Weinstein about whether or not Washington DC was a true sports town (Brian cited Philadelphia as being one). Bram - who I actually like a lot - was shocked, and disagreed vehemently, but BMitch stuck to his guns.

What do people think about this, primarily the comment regarding the Redskins? I wasn't at the game, but I refuse to believe that this is even close to true.

Just because there were more Cowboys jerjeys than Sklins doensn't mean that theirr were more skins..or wait a minute more coyboys fans than skins fans in the stands. Screw him sseriously......was he at thegame?? then what was he going o n ?

Sorry guys, i've bbbeen drinking.....as you can dsee by the slurred wwritingl,

Bottomg line, screw BMitch!

He was incorrect. Dallas (and Philly) fans make the trip, and show up better than any other visitors in recent years, but last year it was nuts. Certainly 80+% Skins fans, and it was so loud you could actually see the yelling lines coming out of people's mouths, much like this:

without a doubt that was the loudest game i have been to in like 7 years. And it was cheers for the skins which would only come from skins fans not dallas fans. esp. the one sleeping when betts had the td run.

Traitor

We should write him an angry (not nasty) email or two...

DC is a destination spot for people. There are many out-of-towners who have moved to work in DC. I would guess the ratio of native DCers to imports is probably WAY higher than in Dallas. Also Dallas was at one point a national team like the Yankee.s They have retreated a bit from that but some of that stills remains. That is the reason why there are many Dallas jrseys at Fedex. There are probably lots at every game the Cowboys play. As for Philly. It is like 3 hours away. Of ocurse there are a lot of diehards who come down just like there are many Skins fans who go there.

I was at the Dallas game. Skins fans outnumbered Dallas fans 20-1

I don't know, I was there and my section was basically all redskins fans. There were three cowboy fans in a group behind me and 1 fan all by himself in the first row. In the first 15 rows of my section I would say there were no more than 6 cowboy fans. Our fans sell out a 90,000 seat stadium at about $100 a ticket and next year it will be a lot more.

And by the way, Dallas is always full of opposing team jerseys.

I was there and that is a downright falsehood. There were some Cowboys fans there and one tried to fight me. But way less than I've seen in the last 10 years. Crowd was crazy crazy loud as it was 28-0 at the half. At that time we wished em all merry christmas as almost all of them were gone by 3rd quarter kickoff.
Simply untrue statement by BMitch. Maybe under Spurrier, Marty or Norv, but since Gibbs return simply not true!
