  1. I’ve said it before & I’ll say it again. If those people aren’t Redskin fans, then don’t go to the games or watch them on tv. Worry about something that really matters.

  2. Always remember your team or you will be next. These people are never happy and will not stop with just one team. Offended Really!!!!!!! Sinc1938 It starts with not printing or posting their CRAP!!!!!!

  3. Agree with that. If we don’t stick together we will keep loosing little by little until it’s to late for a change
