Re: Why are YOU a Redskins fan?

Alot of Great stories here.
I grew up in the DC/Maryland area and played football as a youth. I played for#11 Boys Club and Oxon Hill Road Runners Pop Warner football in the early 70's. I went to Potomac HS for 3 months and moved to Arizona at the age of 15. My step dad was a Redskins fan and we would watch on Sundays with family members. His 2 brothers were Cowboys fans so it was alot of trash talk during the games. I can remember watching the Redskins 1st Super Bowl against the Dolphins in 1972 which we lost 14-7. Fins undefeated season. We had family friends that had Redskins season tickets and I went to 2 Redskins games at RFK. I saw the Skins play Dallas and KC. The Cowboys game was a thriller I think Sonny came in and for Kilmer and we won in OT. When I moved to Phoenix before DTV I would see the games only if the Redskins were on national tv or on the Monday Night football highlights with Howard Cosel. We had no internet so I would read the newspaper to see the score or stats. I joined the Marine Corp in 1984 and when I was stationed in Alaska I would have to get up at 6am to watch the Redskin game. I have been living in California for 25 years and would go to Sports bars to watch Redskins games until I got DTV NFL ticket in 1996. I have not missed a Redskins regular season or playoff game since 1996. I love my Skins like my own family and when Sean Taylor was murder It was like losing a brother. I will always be a Redskins fan 4 ever win or lose I'm just so loyal . For all you fans who have not been around to see the Redskins win a Super Bowl dont jump ship it will worth it. HTTR
