2 Boo Or Not 2 Boo…That Is The ?

Things got a little ugly in the Redskins game Sunday…and I’m not referring to the play on the field. The Redskins were booed off the field at halftime, and to my amazement booed off the field at the end of the game. The internet message boards, blogs and Twitter pages are on fire with everyone’s two cents on the issue…it’s like that old saying “opinions are like assholes, everybody’s got one…and they all stink.” So here’s my stinky ass opinion.

First off, do you have the right as a fan to boo the Redskins at FedEx? Your damn straight you do. It’s your right as an American. And I don’t care if you’re in the 500 level and you work at McDonalds, or you have club seats and you make 6 figures. You paid for your ticket, if you want to boo the team go right ahead and do it.

Do I think it’s right to boo the Redskins at FedEx…hell no! I think you’re a complete ass to do so. If you’re a fan then you should be there to support your team, not to drag them down. I think it’s a disgrace that our fans did that to the Skins…they won the freakin game (I know it was an ugly and painful win.) Does anyone remember that the Ravens won a Super Bowl not too long ago winning ugly every week? A win is a win. The Redskins already have an opponent on the field, they don’t need another in the stands.

It’s my personal opinion that the Redskin’s fan support has been in a steady decline for years now. Who’s to blame? I’m not sure, but I don’t want to hear it’s the owner or ticket brokers, that’s a crock of shit. We have empty seats at FedEx and fans are routinely late to their seats at the start of the games and after halftime. We let fans from New York, Philly and Pittsburgh take over our house! We are now (allegedly) throwing and spitting on our players…are you f’ing kidding me? If you are that disgruntled and have season tickets sell them to a true fan.

I know frustration plays a part in this and I’m as frustrated as anybody. The play calling is suspect and we haven’t beaten anyone handily since I can remember. But, the players are playing hard and I see good things happening on the field…like the Skins winning! I would ask you this question, would you want someone coming into your office tomorrow and constantly telling you how much you suck at your job? Do you want Haynesworth hovering over your desk and giving you a ration of shit because you were late delivering a report? No…we have bosses to do that, and so do the players, they have coaches. And the coaches have someone that tells them they aren’t doing their job; it’s the GM and the owner.

So if your sitting in FedEx field in 2 weeks when the Redskins are playing the Bucs and you feel compelled to boo, just look down at the shirt your wearing. It’s probably burgundy and gold and has a number 47, 28, 81, 21 or 92 on it. You bought it because you’re a fan! I close each and every blog I write with the words “Cheers and Hail.” Redskins fans…spread the word.

I was at the game sitting in section 446. I have to say no one mentions that the loudest supportive cheers for the defense (that I heard) came AFTER everyone boo-ed. I think everyone was frustrated with the plays being called but everyone stepped up and supported the team when they came back out.
I boo-ed out of sheer frustration but I don't think my support for the team should be questioned after paying x amount for season tickets and merchandise. I cheered when they made great plays.

And I guess Dan Snyder shouldn't be questioned as an owner after paying so much to try and win a championship, right?!?!

Everything is more expensive at FedEx Field, and everything imaginable is for sale with the Redskins logo. If Snyder gobbles up a Hayneswroth for $100mil over 7 yrs ppl are more likely to go see him, and spend money on overprices wares, and then Snyder makes $125mil in the long run...he's not in it to win it, he's in it to take advantage of our fanfare and dedication to a team with history and passion. I wouldn't say this if he didn't hop foot to foot every 2 yrs! All that ever does is build anticipation and interest, which in turn fills the seats for no good reason....and makes him richer.

He'll fire Zorn and Campbell after this season and either pick up Vick when he's a free agent, or gobble up a high profile draft pick like Tebow, McCoy, or Bradford and he'll pick up a high profile coach like Shannahan, Cowher or Gruden. After 2 years, when the pieces settle and they'd actually have to win to gain the interest of people outside of the dedicated base, he'll fire them all and do it again.

Its easier to create a buzz and sell buy putting out gimmicks, its a lot harder to create a buzz with a quality product. You can't completely blame the players or coaching staff for this abomination in team management, you can only blame them for not rising above it. Even if they did rise above he'd fire them anyway (like he did when firing Schottenheimer after he turned the 2001 season around by sheer will) in favor of something that creates a buzz (remember the ol' ball coach Mr. Steve Spurrier? How did that work out for us?).

The whole game I was arguing with people in my section about the Ravens point. If the D keeps up like this the offense doesn't even need to turn it around, they can win just with defense. The D still has to improve though, the '00 Ravens were sick!
