No Self-Respecting 'Skins Fans....

Dare root for the Ravens

http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/...U9P_story.html

This is a hot topic for plenty of sports fans right now, because the annoyingly successful Ravens are in the playoffs while our hapless Redskins are hosting charity events and watching reality TV.

I could see the younger generation of Redskins fans who only know of the Skins as being horrible would coming to the Purple Side

Who cares what Redskin fans think. Their season ended months ago when they went on that ridiculous losing streak. I have Redskins fans that I know and they are disgusted with Snyder. Some now are Ravens fans cause they hate Snyder. I am not one to jump ship but there are a few out there. Go Ravens!!!

There are no younger generation of Redskins fans.

Redskins fans

Redskins have fans?? I thought their remaining 3 left town :)

'Annoyingly successful Ravens'.............Now that's jealousy in its most bitter display

'Hapless Redskins'..... at least their fans can call 'em as they see 'em

We as Ravens fans should be reaching out to Skins' fans instead of giving them hell. Two of my neighbors are Skins fans and I've been slowly working with them with the 'support the Ravens instead of the Skins' attitude because of Snyder and his attitude towards the Redskins fans. I don't get to tailgate much but I know its awesome and if you tailgate, take a Skins fan and show them love. When they realize that the Ravens won't disappoint them yearly like the Skins do, hopefully you can have a split allegiance....

Root for the Ravens or don't, makes no difference

You live in Boston? As a Ravens fan, I bet your life has been a blast this week

I can understand where he is coming from. I will always be an Orioles fan. It would be like an Orioles fan becoming a Red Sox fan, because Angelos does not seem sincere in wanting to bring a winning team back to the city. It is not easy, but it is unreasonable loyalty. That is what being a fan is all about. People tend to forget that 'Fan' is short for 'Fanatic'.

The real football fans I know think this will be a tough game, as do I. Should the Ravens lose, next week will suck because the poseur fans who start talking crap only after a win will surface. Should the Ravens win, I get peace and quiet.

I grew up in a house where my step dad and step brothers were Redskin fans. It was during the Jurgenson era ( Unitas in Balt). All I ever heard was Jurgenson is better then Unitas. the Colts stink. All I ever saw was the Colts in the playoffs and Unitas was pretty damn good. Of course this was before the George Allen era,Lombardi and the guy after. Allen came and made the team pretty good, as the Colts were declining.
My point is to this day I cannot root for the Redskins ever, and think Jurgenson is the most overrated player to play in the NFL along with Marino.
So Redskins fans root for NE or whomever you wish, not Baltimore. In fact they should root for the Giants if they make it to the Super Bowl.

Root for the Ravens or don't, makes no difference. I am celebrating the fact that MY team is relevant and playing for a conference championship. Redskins fans can bask in their team's irrelevancy Until the off season when they can feel good overpaying for washed up free agents. Perhaps they will open the safe for Peyton when nobody else will.

Me and you both! I can't root for another franchise. It's in me to be an Orioles fan. All the disappointments, all the broken promises, the lack of player development and no splash at free agency year after year. The Ravens and Orioles are in my blood. I didn't chose to be this way, its in my blood.
