bschurm Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 And I'm part of that few! I really despise anything Dallas b/c of the cowgirls. I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, don't like them. I want to say hate them but that's such a powerful word filled with lots of emotion. Oh screw it, I hate the cowgirls. :dallasuck My sentiments EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlwredskins Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 It's the history of the song It's the arrogance of their organization and the Fans The games we played against them that ended like the game in Buffalo....(how many times have they stuck it to us when we had them behind the eight ball? That America's Team crap...that make me crazy everytime I hear it. They for the most part get the better of us Them being media darlings no matter what....Aikman even said when things are going well being the Dallas Cowboy QB is the best job in the world the whole thing makes me sick...need I go on? That's why when we stick it to them it's that much sweeter. HAIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emor09 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 we get this question every couple of months. a short version of the story is that when the cowboys wanted to become a franchise, they needed the other owners to vote. and it was known that the redskins owner would vote against them. so the cowboys owner bought the rights to the music of "hail to the redskins" and said that if he ever wanted to hear that song in the stadium again, he would vote for the cowboys. he got his vote, we got the song yada yada yada, troy vincent blocks a field goal and sean taylor picks it up and returns it for a few yards and nick novak kicks a game winnin field goal. haha i like this summary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngestson Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I think it was George Allen who started it really boiling, but there was a dislike in Washington for Dallas from the start. Apparently there was some thought that they were going to cut in to the Redskins fan base which used to stretch across the south. That's what was told to me anyway, but the important thing is they embody all that is wrong and evil. EVERYONE hates them. We just hate them better.

HEavyJumbo85 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 It started with George Preston Marshall and the Dallas owner over some legal thing with "Hail to the Redskins." But George Allen hyped it up to the point of pure hatred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21 coming to Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 The battle between good and evil goes back to the beginning. I first heard about it when I was a kid in Northern Virginia. A kid was just supposed to grow up liking cornbread, crabs and the Redskins. And hating the Cowboys. Very simple.:dallasuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zazzaro703 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 The whole Cowboys and Indians thing i would guess. They were named to hate each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redskin-28 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I'll have to ask my Dad again, he's been a fan since the 1950's and remembers when it all started. If I remember correctly he said that when Dallas was trying to become a franchise the rule at that time was for every team to give the new franchise a player from each team to start the new franchise team and there was some discrepancy over the player the Redskins offered, I believe a QB. I have never heard the story about Hail to the Redskins. :dallasuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD Riggo Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 George Preston Marshall had the "hail to the Redskins song", but never copyrighted it, so the prospective owners of Dallass held it hostage and would only give it back to him if he voted for a team in Dallass. GPM owned the whole south with Radio and coverage and didn't want to give the area up. Well, as a fourth generation Floridian, I can tell you that he did NOT lose Florida! My grandfather was a Skins fan. My Dad was a Redskins fan. And *I* am most decidedly a Redskins fan! Sure .. there are always the idiot fairweather Cowboy sheeple everywhere, but Florida is Skins country. Most native Floridians grew up being Skins fans before there were the Yucks, the Jugs, and the Deadphish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoth Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Some of you will probably think I'm stupid or extremely ignorant, but with all of the things I've learned about this team, I never was taught the real reason that these two teams hate each other. All I know is that I was taught not to like the Pukes. Then as I got older, I hated them simply because of their arrogance, ****iness, etc. But what really started it all? Guesses: 1. Caucasians stealing the country from Indians (aka, see a John Wayne movie). 2. The history of "the country" of Texas, which has anti-establishment bent. Natural to oppose nation's capitol team.

DButz65 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 George Allen largely responsible for rivalry as we know it today Yup, it was not as heated until he came to town, sure it was cowboys vs indians before that, but he bred hate in our players for "those d*mn cowboys" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylorfan2179 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 The entire existence, plus I heard back in the day, George Preston Marshall didnt want the cowboys in the nfc east, so the cowboys bought the copyright to "Hail to the Redskins" and refused to give the song back till they were allowed in the NFC east.

riggins44 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 That was Harvey "May he burn in hell" Martin I stand corrected. Then again, hated them all so much they're one in the same to me. :point2sky :dallasuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor 36 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Way back, the original owner of the cowboys was trying to have a team in the NFL. This needed a unanimous vote from the other owners. The owner of the Skins, JP Marshall, kept voting "NO"Mr. Marshal had a falling out with the guy who rote "hail to the Redskins", and that guy sold the rights to the song to the cowboys potential owner. Now this potential owner had leverage over marshall, and in return for the song, Marshall voted yes to the caowboys. The potential owner had new lyrics for the cowboys ready and was rubbing salt in the wound. So there you have it. Plus, they suck. Not quite. Marshal's wife wrote HTTR, but they never got it copyrighted. The COwboys swooped it up and bought the copyright and held it hostage for a vote. Then, when they got their franchise, via league rules back then, they took all of the best Redskins on the roster at that time that they could and made them Coeboys.:doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 There is so much crap between the ownership of both clubs it leak into the fans base. It hasn't been as strong as it was in the 70s and 80s but hopefully Campbell will change that to a point where the media will hype up the games (Pats vs cowboys) and the rival true hate will be alive again.

smokinskinsfan Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I am super fired up for the dec 30th game...I think it might be the frist game in maybe 10-15 years where it can decide playoff position for both teams...Damn I can't wait to win!!!
