LOL I feel what ur saying Gas BUT ME being born and raised in San Jose I have never choose any bayarea squads if they weren't 4rm SJ..... I like the Sharks lol but I wouldn't consider myself a true fan because I just don't connect with hockey. I love the San Jose State Spartans and go to games here and there, but really don't got too much to talk about them cuz we suck yet still enjoy watching games. Both 49ers and Raiders had MORE Superbowls @ the time(and still do) but I never had the enjoyment of football watching them with my family(whom all like either 9ers or Raiders) as a little kid. We would have family BBQ's and I would rather go play with my cousins then watch the game.... Then I remember as a little kid and watching the Redskins in the 86' playoffs against the Bears(Walter Payton's last game) and fell in love with the team I sat there as a 6 year old a watched the whole entire game for the first time we ended up losing the following game against the Giants and I cried. I loved everything about them from the logo, to the team colors, to the oldschool players like Art Monk, Gary Clark, Darrel Green, Charles Mann, Monte Coleman, etc.... Ever since 86', I've been following my team and WOULDN'T trade them for any other not even if San Jose got a NFL team. But by me cheering and loving a team from another city in no way makes me less proud to be 4rm the Bay Area more or less SAN JOSE! I'm northern Cali boy who just happens to like the Redskins and damn proud whether we win or lose..... With every new season that comes and goes I'm very optimistic of my Skins when they lose I'm mad as fuck, but when they win I'm proud and feel like I've won as a fan to the team. Yeah I have only went to Washington one time to watch the Skins play in Washington(which costs alot to fly there) but what is sad is that certain fan's like a team in there hometown and HAVE NEVER even went to a game that is 50 miles from the stadium or only go when the team hits the post season. When I have to defend my squad 4rm all the 9ers, Raiders, Cowboys friends I got, I have to defend them by myself and I wouldn't have it any other way. Its good to have people like other teams thats what make every sunday wonderful because there is a variety. All the bandwagon jumping fans and fakes will show when there team's losing believe that......
