pbbs_2003 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 First and foremost I hope I posted in the right place. I need to guidance. Some that my family and friends can not give me, some that only a true redskin fan, a homer, someone who knows the words of Hail to the Redskins. I recently ( as in the last 3 hours) got a intern offer with a NFL club. It would be working directly with the non-football operations of the franchise and a little one on one time with the owner. I am a sports business major and looking about going into the NFL or MLB or some big time league after graduating. So the team that offered me the internship is a NFC EAST time and is not our beloved Skins… so would you take the job? Good pay. Great opportunity and networking, but it’s a rival.. where do I draw the line? Any advice would really help I am really thinking about this one.

Stophovr6 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 You have to take it. This is your career. At some point you need to store away the fandom and get to work. When Sunday comes and the Skins play, you're still a Skins fan to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSkins561 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Yeah take it, I wouldn't announce or let it be known you are a Skins fan. Sounds like a great opportunity. Congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbbs_2003 Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 Thats my thoughts, I told the interviewer I was a skins fan ( talking about NFC EAST being great) and he thoguht it was funny and did not think it would matter at all. Thanks for the input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88Comrade2000 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Take it. Especially in these tough economic times, you take what you can get. George Allen maybe turning over in his grave though, especially if it's Dallas. Though he would love to have a spy, LOL! Go for That. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsburySkinsFan Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 You better take that damn job. quoted bigger and louder because if you don't we'll slap you! The question you're asking is very similar to a guy who is a 'Skins fan but gets drafted by the Eagles and wonders about whether he should go there. Even if its the 'pukes you gotta take that job, and then use Jerry Jones' money to buy Redskins stuff! Take the job and hang 'Skin stuff all over your cubicle! But take THAT job.

I like that I made a joke with the guy about hanging stuff up and he said that as long as its not behind closed doors he doesnt care lol. Well I think I am gonna take the internship. Its one year and it gets me closer to getting with the redskind. Maybe while I am there I can throw things at there starting quarter back throw him off his game just enough.. atleast while we play them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcl05 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Take the job, have a great career. But don't forget where you came from. Someday buy the team from Snyder and bring back the glory! Regarding your new employers - still be a Skins fan. If, at any point, you have an opportunity to get some ben-gay or similar liquid heat into their jockstraps, or some laxative into their gatorade barrel, go for it.

TMSCAW5312 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 By this time, I hope you took the job. Congratulations on the offer alone, although I love the "sabotage" post! We are all NFL fans, and we're certainly all fans of having a dang job. That's tough enough these days. Have at it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PresidentClinton07 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 No offense at all, but the answer is so obvious that its actually a stupid question. YOU BETTER TAKE THAT JOB!!! Do not take job offers for granted, especially at these times. Something so minuscule as being a die hard fan is not worth the trade off. Plus, the fact that your a sports business major makes this even more obvious. Most people would love the opportunity for that job. From my research, I heard it that it is really hard to get a job with a professional team when coming out of college, let alone while your in college. Congrats on the job offer by the way, it isn't easy to come by in that field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Take the job my man!!! Then you can give us inside info on that rival!! But seriously, you can't pass up that kind of opportunity. I'll be waiting for the thread where you thanked all of us for taking the job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forehead Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 So is it the Giants or the Eagles? I assume it's not Dallas since you're in New Hampshire. Take the damn job. Hell, I've had Cowboys fans for bosses before. Who cares, it's your career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPT_CHAOS47 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Do not take the job..If you take it, you will not have been a true skins fan...Even thinking of taking it means you ARE NOT A SKINS FAN!! PLEASE LEAVE THE BOARD!! You are not wanted here!!! J/K:silly: Take the damn job!!!! Football is football!!! thats your freaking career!!! If you get the chance drop this off at the Owners office door:pooh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kramdizzle Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 LOL, wow okay so no negatives yet. guess I was way over thinking this huh? Maybe I can use this to leverage a gig with danny. that would be nice. I couldnt even get a interview with the redskins. take the job! As far as using it as leverage to get a job with the redskins/danny you do not want to do that. As a former employee of ESPN/Redskins radio I would not recommend it. He'll crap on you every chance he gets (by he I mean his organization), the pay was horrible, it was so bad I didn't want to go to work most the time. Take the chance you area being given and cheer for the redskins on the side. DO NOT BE AN IDIOT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnyderShrugged Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 jealous!! Take that puppy and run with it! It's a dream many of us will never attain and look at it as a possible stepping stone to eventually working with the skins too. awesome stuff!

I know you love the Redskins, but you're either going to work for the Giants, Eagles, or the Cowboys. Aside from the Cowboys, the other two are great organizations that you could really use to get your foot in the door. We love the team, but the non-football side isn't really a well run operation.
