Re: Redskins’ popularity wanes - PFT

There are a ton of reasons why the skins popularity is declinging. I really wish they would get out of PG county and the cluster storm that is fed ex parking. i like many others decline free tickets now. just too much of a hassle to watch an inept team.

i know i talk about baltimore alot but on game day, the city is buzzing. people in purple walking to M&T from the surrounding neighborhoods. go to one of the many bars in fed hill, drink get some brunch, walk a few blocks to the stadium, go through the ravens walk with all types of booths and activities. the stadium seating is some much better than fed ex. upper deck seats you have a great view, fed ex your up there in the clouds watching lil ants run around.

when i walk out of my home, there are raven flags on every house, people close down streets, pull huge tvs out and have a neighborhood block parties . . .

just imagine if the skins played in downtown alexandria. it seems everything about the skins right now is horrible, from the team to the game day experience. hopefully mike can atleast get us a team we can feel good about.

Meanwhile in Cleveland, Colt McCoy is reaching new fan bases and their popularity is at an all-time high!

If they were winning things would be fine, they are losing so there you have it.

1. Yes
2. Maybe?
3. I'll second that pass.
4. I just noticed that entire family looks Amish. That's what I get for focusing on beard & bowl guy.

I emailed him this link and the one about the Cowboys. Wonder if he'll write about their waning popularity.

Re: Redskins’ popularity wanes - PFT

I am sorry, but the economy and the last 12 years of general mediocrity by our beloved Skins, plus the heat would cause fan camp attendance to spira anydayl. Not too many people like our chances considering the overall weak level at the QB position this year.
