Washington Vs Baltimore Football

 

                  

 

There is something going on that I was not aware of. Many Washington Redskins football fans root for Washington as well as Baltimore Ravens and Ravens fans despise the Redskins. This is something that caught me off guard.

Since I can remember I have been a Redskins fans but I also rooted for the Baltimore Colts and later the Ravens. I recently went to a football party and it was mostly baltimore  residence and when they found out I was a past Washingtonian and still Redskin fan boy did the house come down. I held my ground but dang I thought there would be some kind of mutual love in the house... there was no love to be found. This is how I go I first root for Washington, then Baltimore and go on down to Pittsburgh then Phila and lastly on to the giants and sometimes the jets. I have ties in all of these cities. Sometimes I skip over Phila because they will try to put a bash in on anyone visiting their Stadium. We all have our different reason for rooting for whoever.

I guess my question is, How come the Raven's Fans despise the Redskins fan so much, when Redskin fans are happy for the Ravens when they win ... more power to them, I say. What is going on, did we knock the Ravens out of the playoffs? No... Did the Redskins dash the Ravens Super-bowl hopes? No.... Are the Ravens the Redskins Arch rivals? No.... What is it?

I hate to say it, but even being an Atlanta boy I can not seem to make myself pull for the falcons this year. I have lost it for them. COLTS first, then the Giants. guess it is a MANNING thing.

Danny,

I enjoy watching the Colts play, they have the game down to a science, plus its always fun to watch Manning.

Not sure, but I do know that.....we're going to beat Washinton the following week!  Ha!

Alright Larry,

We will see... Bret is hot, so the key is pass protection. I think the skins can slow down the Packers running game but if the skins get Bret on the run it may be a close game.

Go Redskins. This may be the year we win a Playoff game. Yea!!!

The only response I have is that being a Chicagoan, there are 2 teams we root for.  The Bears...and whoever is playing the Packers.  So I guess I'm a Skins fan this week.

Where are the Raven Fans?

Frank that's an interesting question. If the two teams are not rivals then why do they despise the Skins. The Redskins I think have been around a little longer than the Ravens. Oh well, sounds like fickle fans to me. Not very sportsman like.

I am an avid Patriots and Red Sox fan but I also think Peyton Manning is an excellent quarterback and I just love to see great games.

You know Redskins who like the Ravens??!?  I have never heard of such a thing.  You sure? 

Yup - Ravens fan here.

 

I will cheer for the 'skins when they play Dallas!
