There have been a lot of good things mentioned that really come into play on this. I think what it comes down to, for me, is the emotional attachment I have to the team... well over 30 years. On the flip side though, it really is difficult to care for a team in which it appears that the owner has no care for, outside of monitary gain. If Snyder did care, he would do something about it. But then, I think about how successful of a business man he is, that he must know something I don't. Clearly he doesn't know how to run a football organization, but you would think he knows something about operations, and if your key man running the operation isn't producing results, you take the accountability back to him. I just can't imagine him being so blind.
Yes, I will never give up on our Burgandy and Gold, they will always be number one in my heart. Hell, I am even wearing my gear out publicly, if anything, it is a great conversation starter.

I am a die hard fan. Been with the Skins since my childhood, almost 50 years. I'm at the end of the rope, looking to jump off. I'm completely fed up with this organization and I'm boycotting the team. I'm not wearing any of their sh$t until Danny Boy hires a competent staff. I can deal with the losing. It's the lack of direction that's killing me. While on boycott I'm rooting for the Ravens. It's not with the same passions as the Skins but I can't give blind support to a franchise that does give a sh$t about their fans.
I just can't seem to like any other teams but ones I was brought up on. (O's, Skins, Bullets/Wiz, Caps),
I've tried to like the Ravens especially since they're practically local, but everytime I watch them, I find myself hoping that they'll lose.
EDIT: Okay.. I do like the Red Sox. But other than that nobody else.

Ditto! Even though I have quite a few of them on my fantasy team.

I know what you're saying. I watched the Ravens beat up on the Broncos and its not the same. When the Skins beat someone like the Giants, Eagles or Cowboys, I'm hyped up for a week. I don't know if those days will ever return. Like I said, I'm hanging by a thread, Danny can reel me in by taking action in right direction. This organization must change. It's the laughing stock of the league. They have past the Raiders, Lions and Browns.
