My second skins tattoo reads in small letters "wwjgd" most think it's religious but it stands for what "would joe Gibbs do"
"What would..."

People who would walk away because we suck, will be the same ones who try to jump back on board when we get good again and act like they never gave up, and those fans are worse than bandwagon fans.
Obviously, everybody makes their own claims of what they are about concerning our team.
I've lived long enough to know that saying "I'll never will/would..." isn't wise.
But in my mind, I see only 2 possible reasons that I'd ever give up/walk away/lose interest/emotionally detach myself from MY team.
1. The death of the franchise via the Name Change.
2. My death.
I just...can't...fathom it.
Maybe one of the benefits of having never attended a regular season game, ergo, haven't spent the money on it, is my only costs have been emotional. Which I can hack. I don't consider the apparel I've bought over the years to be anything other than self aggrandizing. I'm a freakin dreamboat in burgundy and gold. Imagine the world without me. Shudder the thought.This is about where I am. However, I will not spend anymore money on games this year. I will not purchase merchandise and this Sunday I will not be watching the game, I will be making some extra cash for my trip to sunny South Florida next week.
I always knew your signature wasn't about me.And btw Ax - I appreciate you - it's nice to have a handful of folks that are looking for the positives these days, even if I can't muster it myself.

What are the circumstances?so you'd stick with the team if Snyder sells and the team is moved? at least a time zone away.
My view, is even if the product isn't what we wanted, it's all we've got. I love watching football, but the only team I like is the Redskins. There is no other team in the NFL or college that I even slightly care about. Since I love football, I will always root for the team I love, as long as they exist, even if they're like watching a team rubbing a turd off their cleats.brotha: I have been following this team since 1962 - that's over half a century. I'm teetering on the edge like so many others - masochism aint part of the gameplan. walking away and taking a break...as some very respected members of our BGO community already have...and returning once some semblance of order, discipline and optimism is restored isn't bandwagon behavior. in some quarters it would be called intelligent, healthy psychological self-defense.
you're lumping too many folks into one convenient bin. why the animosity? shouldn't it be directed at the people creating these consistently under-performing results?
btw...how come you haven't been posting as much lately?
What are the circumstances?
What bought them about?
Who benefits?
Are there social implications?
Which time zone?
And why that one?
Is it an isolated incident to the Redskins, or a new NFL trend?
Will the moving trucks be, Mayflower?
