Do you have a "Scab Team"?

Hogroll · 10-31-2009, 09:08 PM

I just finished reading an article, like all the rest, asking for Synder to unload VC. There is also the standard discussion of boycotting our current organization. So, if we stop buying the goods and drinking the kool-aid; however you still follow the news, keep all your old gear. Do you root for a new team? Do you start buying their logo'ed stuff?

For me, I won't spend money for another team's product. There are a couple other treams I like to follow, Ravens because they are local, I have always liked the Steelers, even as a kid. I don't know, I just can't see myself going "full out" for another team. It I were to pull for another team, it certainly would be an AFC team, until our got their act together.

Hell no...Die hard till I die. I couldn't even pull for another team if I wanted to, the Skins are in my blood. Its the reason I watch every minute of every game even when it gets as bad as this year. It has its rewards....it was most likely only the die hards that got to see Brunell launch two bombs to Moss in the last 3 minutes to beat the Cowboys in 06...the half ass fans had probably gone to bed.

Its hard to stick with the Skins right now, but the true fans will.

My sig says it all.

totally agree. the Skins are my one and only i root for. When your team is bad thats when you find who is a true fan.

I cant do it. I put my stuff in my attic when Turner was the coach. Did not really root for another team. I still followed them just did not wear there clothes. I am always asked now why am I wearing a Redskins hat or whatever and i tell them I am a die hard not giving up now. I don't think I will put up my stuff again.

HTTR!!!

What he said!!! I also finished that monday night game and popped the top on a cold one whe ST finished off Crayton. Remmember its not maroon and yellow, its Burgundy and Gold!!!!! go skins

I wish I could root for another team, particularly the Ravens. I have shaken Steve Bisciotti's hand (great guy by the way), am surrounded by fans, and his team has always performed well but I can't root for them. I don't empathize if they lose or celebrate if they win.

I only spectate other teams; it's only emotional for me and the Skins. That being said I do enjoy watching the Colts, the Steelers, the Patriots, the Broncos, the Ravens, the Packers, the Vikings, and the Saints. In short, I enjoy watching good football with teams outside the NFC East.

I don't even get how Ravens fans can be Ravens fans. If you were a die hard Colts fan growing up, then root for Indianapolis. The Steelers were always my AFC team, but I don't care about them like I do the Skins. Will always obsess over the Skins... regardless of the coach, owner, players, etc.

skinsfaninok · 11-01-2009, 12:56 AM

Yea my SCAB team is the University Of Florida lol, other than that hell no.. GO SKINS forever!!!! (Even though we will finish 4-12 lol)

Redskins Forever Baby!

Gmanc711 · 11-01-2009, 01:06 AM

I wont spend money on another team... thats for sure..but my second team would probaboly be Buffalo because they're local to me... I follow the Giants (dont relaly root for them) alot too...kind of depends on the year, if we're out i'll pick different teams to root for.... Right now I am pulling for Indianapolis an awful lot as well.

Kalisto2010 · 11-01-2009, 01:07 AM

I actually cheer for the niners since they're my local team. It's the only self therapeutic method I know to deal with my constant Redskin heartache. In the end, I'm Redskin fan first, NFL fan second. It's really hard to get into the NFL when the Redskins are losing. Hell, I can't even watch Sportscener when we're having a shitty season.

CrustyRedskin · 11-01-2009, 01:09 AM

oh yeah i forgot i do have a scab team..... Any other team that plays Dallas!!!

skinster · 11-01-2009, 01:31 AM

Yea don't believe anyone anyone says here. everyone has an order of teams of how they like em. my number 2 team would have to be a tie between greenbay and denver (but i still wish cutler was there)
