OK I was a semi-Redskin fan in the 70's (Chiefs are my team). I went to Leesburg, Va. in 1978 and spent a year working for the Corp of Engineers near Berryville. The Redskins lost a game to Dallas when they were unable to get their field goal team on the field in time. The whining about the officiating was beyond belief. The D.C. non-voting rep Fauntroy even called for a federal investigation of the NFL not because he watched the game but because his constituents were upset.
Adding the "White Rat" Shanahan to the team (from our archenemy Denver) was the final straw.
