The image of Redskins fans?

Discussions with one seems an exercise in futility since facts are not looked upon with the same importance as who can talk the loudest. I have an ex-brother in law who wears Cowgirl gear any chance he gets and probably couldn't tell you who won the Super Bowl last year. I have taken it as my duty to see that his son (my nephew) is not raised in the same ignorance as his father and doesn't buy into the Cowgirl "hype". America's team my ass. Hail Redskins!

I think is true of a lot of people who watch football. My mom claims to be a Redskins fan but couldn't even tell you 3 current starters. She screams with the best of them on Sunday afternoons but, outside of the Super Bowl, never watches an NFL game. IMO, I'm a huge football fan and primarily an NFL fan, but am passionate about the SKins above all else.

God bless your mother! I guess I just notice it more with Cowgirl fans because they seem to be the most vocal without any provocation, facts be damned.
