Mothmonsterman Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Why is that? every time the redskins put out a good team, win a game, beat a good team, make the playoffs etc... the media talks sh*t. not just this season... ALWAYS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benskins26 Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Actually, what I've noticed is that they generally ignore the skins altogether. Which to me makes no sense, at least from a money/ratings standpoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuchip703 Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 huh??? Where is this coming from. Not enough posts on here from various media saying how impressed they are with the Skins. Read Peter Kings MMQB, Don Banks Banks Shots, any article. the media isn't crapping on us at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFKFedEx Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 No matter what this team does on the field, people are going to start threads on ES about the media and their supposed hate for this team. It's like this on every teams board around the league. Our fanbase is no different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadExField Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I like how after the game on FOX, they didn't want to mention the Redskins win for more than 10 seconds because they all predicted the Eagles to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe16729 Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Not only that but also in commercials.. You NEVER see a redskin. I think there is 1 with CP doing a flip in the end zone, but NOTHING else... Like the pregame song for MNF or the sunday night games,, not 1 of Skins player..... I think the media is haten on us for a looonng time ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArizonaSkin Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 From what I can tell, the media is giving us the attention we are starting to deserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngestson Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 We are nowhere near the most hated team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 We haven't been consistently good in so long, noone expects us to be consistently good. There's really only one way to change that. And it's not by winning four games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asnpcwiz Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 It all started 10 years ago. We've had a reputation of just spending money and not having a good agenda. Meaning, Danny Boy never really had a direction with his team, he was just flaunting his money...no one likes that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedskinDaddy Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Not trying to be a dick here, but who the **** cares WHAT the media thinks or says? They don't play the games any more than we the fans do. It's up to the players, and clearly they believe they're good. So many people here harp on the Skins not getting any respect. Screw respect. I'll take the wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMike21 Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I think the OP is dead wrong and even if he right, why would we give a **** anyways??? I care about two things: wins and losses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArizonaSkin Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 In addition, I'd much rather go in thinking everyone hates us. Coming out with a surprise win is much more satisfying...read: Dallas:):point2sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know how during games, they show the NFL logo and hear the guy talking , "This game cannot be rebraodcasted.... blah blah blah", Sammy Baugh is the 1st player that is shown.

drfaustus Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 It's really simple, if your a consistent winner then your gong to get more positive media attention. The Skins haven't been that impressive in the past. Look at Tampa Bay, they are a team that's made the playoffs a few times and even won the super bowl but they aren't exactly the poster boys for the NFL because their wins haven't been concise and they haven't been consistent. The Skins have made the playoffs but its always overcoming losing records or by clenched teeth wins. This year we are winning in a dominating fashion. I know these games haven't been a blowout but anyone can clearly see we were the team in control and I think that's why were seeing the turn around in the media as a result.

timitim Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I have been watching football for a very long time and it has always been this way. When ever we are doing poorly then the media has a field day with us. But when we are doing well then you don't really hear that much. i firmly believe that we live in a pro-Dallas media and which means that the Redskins are not going to get any respect. Which is fine with me. Don't mention my team when we are doing well, Don't give us the respect that we deserve, keep picking us to lose each and every week......then watch us come into your house and beat you up in your home town and scratch your heads in confusion.

Scamp1 Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Other than the Girls ESPN, basically ignores the NFC east. Ask the Giants the reason they feel they dont get any respect is because when they won the SB, ESPN spent more time on why the Pats lost than they did on the Gnats winning. Were not glamourous like the NFC north, or AFC east or west. Our division is always mention as a whole, not as the individual teams in it, except of course the CowGirls.

Stiggs Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I have often wondered why there seems to be some unwarranted dislike for the Redskins, not only in sports writers but to me, it even seems to follow us, with how in so many ways be on the crappy end of many bad calls. Almost in a paranoid fan way like (They are all out ot get us) ... As dumb as this may sound i wonder if there is some politically correct resentment for the teams name (Redskins), i mean look at society these days, the smallest observation of one aspect in an area here of there and the weapon of being called a racist is hurled at you. I actually know people who hate the Redskins over the name.. Its absurd.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chanhillbilly Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I have to admit that when you see a highlight reel from another team, they make it look like the redskins are on the loosing end. Example, they show the T.O. one from a couple of season ago when he uses the ball as a pillow after scoring a TD. That was the game that their game winning FG was blocked and run back by ST to setup our game winning FG. Another that stands out is a Barry Sanders clip of him putting the moves on Ken Harvey. That was a game from the Norv era that they held Sanders to something like 20 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmuJeff Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 While I do admit that ESPN seems to love to hate on us constantly, if you go on any other teams message board you'll find a thread like this. The Giants get talked about on ESPN constantly and they're over there whining too about how no one gives them respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
