Red-Skins Nation?

cant call it redskin nation because there is not a majorly definitive redskin crowd in DC as in other places, such as steeler nation in the pittsburgh area where 95% of the evening news, in and out of season, revolves around the steelers, the fact is that there are so many people born and raised from different parts of the country that go to work around dc whether it be govt. jobs or just the good job market in the surrounding area that half the time youll walk into a bar on sundays and maybe more than half the people there will be sporting athletic wear from other teams, it sucks that we dont have the huge hometown type feeling like most other teams, for instance having to defend my skins to half my peers that are non-skins fans due to where they were born or because they jumped on a bandwagon of a good team in the mid 90's, but we definitley have a very large fanbase disperesed throughout the country

I think Hail2theskins hit it on the head.

I don't think any team has a fan based as vast as the skins covering the mason dixon line on down to North Carolina. This is a redskin Nation.

All this talk about Redskins fans all over the country, but you forgot that there are many Redskin fans north of the 49th. I have lived in Calgary Alberta all my life and I even drove to Seattle a few years back to watch the Skins play the Seahawks. I am planning a trip to DC this year to watch the Skins-Falcons game.

People who like the Skins have to be true fans as we have had troubles in the past, so we did not jump on the bandwagon, cause no one would do that to themselves. I have been bugged from everyone about the Heath Shuler experiment, to snyder trying to buy a championship with Brice Smith and Dieon to even this year.

I love the skins and have since 1983 when I was 7 years old.

So I just wanted to make sure you did not forget the Skins are loved outside the USA as well.

Oh and Red Sox and Yankee (Yankmee) fans suck. So tired of having the Skins being compared to those two teams cause everyone thinks we buy our teams.

I'd assume any team has outside fans in this day and age. I forget b/c being an american you forget foreign countries exist at all. Whats canada like? Has there ever been an NFL team in canada?

I do not think i would consider Canada a foreign country. We are pretty much like the US, except we have health care.

There has never been a NFL team up here, even though Toronto has tried for many years t get one. I would die to have a team in Calgary, but if that ever happened I would never change my colors. Actually, it can be hard to find Redskins stuff up here as most of the time they carry Seattle (cause it is close), Cowboys, Denver, Atlanta, Miami and Indy stuff cause those are the teams they think are the most popular. But I have been trying to explain to anyone who will listen, that there is the Burgandy and Gold then 31 other teams that want to be like the Skins.
