paleface fan

Response to Cooleyfan - I don't think it's pathetic at all - it's understandable. Remember, this is the first time a team, in any professional sport, was forced to change its name and disavow its identity. A winning team, and even lower prices, does not overcome a what has become a boring game-time experience. I looked forward to seeing in person our football team for 12 years, but sadly that electrifying environment no longer exists. No band, a "gender-neutral dance team" in lieu of athletic pro cheerleaders, no HTTR, and telling fans what they cannot wear just leads to a apathetic and dull game-time atmosphere.

Maybe we should get the team president to invite the Eagles Cheerleaders to the game sunday so the local fans have some good looking women on the field. And, getting rid of the band certainly enhanced the fan experience. We are still near the bottom of the NFL attendance figures. Even the Dallas media picked up on the shrinking fanbase in Washington prior to that debacle on Sunday.

I did not miss a game for 10 years, including the 2019 debacle, the season ending game against the eagles with their fans singing in the rain all the way back to the muddy parking lots. I gained solice that even though we had to suffer shutouts and numerous losses at home, at least we could observe the attractive team cheerleaders during the plethora of TV commercial time-outs. Now, we do not even have that as the current mgmt cancelled the redskin cheer squad. So, it's in the hardcore fan best interest just to stay home.

I did not miss a game for 5 years, including that debacle in 2019, the last game with all those Eagle fans singing in the rain and the muddy parking lots at the end of the shutout. I would go to see a losing redskin team because at least we could see the attractive team cheerleaders during the plethora of TV commercials time-outs, but we don't even have that any more. So, it would behoove us former hardcore fans just to stay home.
