Why are YOU a Redskins fan?

[skinsfaninok]

Figured we could start a cool thread, lets be real we are all true fans of this team that hasn't been good in YEARS so what made you a skins fan?

I've been a Diehard skins fan since age 6, ('91) I can remember my mom going and getting me a skins jacket after the super bowl and growing up with Dallas fans in my family only made me an even bigger fan. Originally from the Gulf Coast it was either Saints or Cowboys so of course I wasn't interested LOL. Some folks were Packers fans for Favre but I stayed loyal to my skins. If you gave me a dollar for every time I have been asked "Why the Redskins" I'd be rich. Haven't missed a game in probably 10 years, I just treat this team like a family member. I'm so loyal that I have turned down Xmas gifts of other NFL teams apparel and I had the chance to walk through the Cowboys stadium and Locker room about 8 years ago or so with my now Father In Law ONLY if I didn't wear any skins gear, so I said NO THANKS! I've been to 2 Redskins games (@TB) and @N.O Both were when I was really young.. Had the chance at Skins- Cowboys Tix this year but decided not too. Anyways Tell your stories
