Why you chose to be a Redskins fan:

[rypper11]

I was a Skins fan before I was a football fan. I've known the words to HTTR since before I knew what a forward pass was. Before SBXVIII we had a pep rally at my elementary school and everyone was so Redskin crazy it was impossible not to live and die with them. To me, the Skins are like family.
I was a casual fan of the Bullets and Caps (went to a lot of games because my father's cousin worked at the Cap Center) but just never felt a passion for them. When I moved to NC I went to college a mile from where the Hurricanes were playing while the RBC Center was being built and now I follow them just as passionately as I do the Skins. I've given up on the NBA and now I'm one of those people who thinks the basketball season ends next Monday.
