I’m from the UK, been living in DC for six years. Love the city and in the process of getting into this Americanized ‘football’ business thought I should root for the home team.

Yeah, I’m done. It’s not gonna be an easy feat to remove the vestiges of this team from my conscious, but...until the mini moron Snyder is gone (which will probably be never), this team will be forever considered mud to me.

I despise the Redskins with a hatred that leaves me at the end of games either filled with rage, or cackling like a madman at their latest setback. So I am all for Dan Snyder sticking around. I delight at the thought of Sheehan and Czaban having to sit there and toe the line with what they say on a day-to-day basis. I

I have been a fan of many bad teams. I attended every home game of the Bills back to back 2-14 seasons of 1984 and 1985; Agony, thy name is Joe Dufek. I’ve lived in Washington for 15 years, and I wonder about the ‘Skins fans on a whole other level. It’s one thing to be mocked because your team of preference is lousy.

My DC neighbor summed it up great when explaining why he was wearing a Susan G Koman shirt not a Redskins one yesterday:

I’ve been a Skins for as long as I can remember. Just the team I grew up watching and stuck with them. It’s getting increasingly difficult to tolerate being a fan of the team. No matter how good the players or staff you put together, when the organization is poisoned at the absolute top it will make its way down.

Deadspin has done a nice job calling bullshit on the season ticket waitlist. Can anyone do a full explanation of the franchise value of $2 billion+? That one always baffled me. Their biggest asset right now is what?

They should rotate the name. Last week, “Washington Dolphins.” This week, “Washington Rams.”
