Why are YOU a Redskins fan?

[CultBrennan59]

My dad worked for them in the late 90's. I wasn't a fan or them nor did I not like them, I was just like "Eh ok, Redskins whatever." I had always been a huge Raiders fan. They were that bad ass team with the silver and black. I loved them when they had Jerry Rice and Tim Brown. Then they lost the Super Bowl, and ever since then had started going down hill, I realized I needed a new team, especially since I had nothing to do with them other than I liked them. I was like, "Well my dad enjoyed working for the Skins, and they used to be a great team. Plus everyone around me was rooting for this team that was always supposed to be super bowl bound, according to those people. I'm from the DC metropolitan area, thus it was my home town team. I just liked the Redskins. Then I was watching some Jet games and saw this Santana Moss guy return punts and get huge catches. I was a big fan of him. I remember watching the Skins in '04, and thinking "Well this Joe Gibbs guy is a great coach being a HOFer and winner with 3 different QB's, so he is a huge addition to this team, and this defense is very very good. If only this offense had a stable QB, and a deep threat receiver, they'd be great." Then I heard the skins got Moss and I almost sh!t myself. I was thinking, we're going to the super bowl, we have the OLine, we have the defense, we have the RB, and now we have the deep threat at WR. Ever since then I haven't missed a skins game, and watch them every day religiously. I had always grown up not liking the cowboys, for the most part because of the teams obnoxious looking star on their helmet, but also the overly-obnoxious fans in the area that like them for no reason at all.
