Me too! Our chant was always get that football team off the marching band field! loltammyfolk wrote: ↑Sat Sep 05, 2020 11:40 am I'm not a football fan at all . . .I've tried to understand the game so many times over the years, but I just can't wrap my brain around it. . .even when the kids were in school, I'd go for the band . . .lol as both kids were in marching band, or I'd be working in the concession stand.
One of our dear soccer friends are HUGE Badger fans. It's always been fun bantering with them on Saturdays...sigh...I don't do NFL really, but my daughter and husband LOVE the Cowboys.
I get it. I went to Miami University in Ohio and our mascot was the Miami Redskin. I always thought it was a great mascot; the Miami were ferocious warriors. My Freshman year the Miami Nation began the process to remove the mascot. Now we are the Redhawks. The entire time I was at Miami we were Redskins. It's really hard calling us the Redhawks now...GinniG wrote: ↑Sat Sep 05, 2020 12:27 pm I was a HUGE NFL fan! I've been a Redskins fan since I was in high school in the 1970s. But once we moved up here we haven't had live TV so missed a lot of football but tried to keep up online. Finally Amazon Prime started showing the Thursday night games and I was so happy to have live football! Then all the political nonsense started and I really lost interest. I'd watch here and there but not much. Now I want NOTHING to do with any of the sports. I'm sick of all the craziness and the games aren't anywhere near the same as they were. Then came the name changes. IMHO it's disgusting. For example, the name Redskins came from a revered Indian chief whose family allowed his name to be used as an HONOR to their tribe. There has been a move on for many years by one or two people to change the name but the owner (a real jerk) held out until this year. Now they've renamed themselves The Washington Football Team. They couldn't even come up with a real name! So I won't be following or watching any games this year.
I think it's really dumb but then I might be in the minority... I just hate what's happening in our country all over right now and I'm SUPER glad we don't live in South Florida anymore!sthom97093 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 05, 2020 1:06 pmI get it.
