I was scrolling through my facebook and noticed that SBnation had posted a link about the Redskins... Now although its not my team I decided to read it because its related to the NFC East... The article is about a Redskins fan writing a letter to the Redskins... It reads: To Whom it May Concern, Im a third generation Redskins fan. You can verify this by looking up the last name Hess and seeing that my grandfather, William Seymour Hess, became a season ticket holder in 1961. My father decided not to renew for the 2011 season. Why, you ask? It simply became a lost cause. Money flushed down the toilet. Just think about that for a minute. A family that was loyal to this company for 50 years had to let it go. And it seems we made the right choice. Actually, seem is the wrong word to use. We definitely made the right choice. This team is a ship without a captain. And the ship isnt just sinking, its collecting algae at the bottom of the Atlantic. The General Manager is nowhere to be found, and only seems to want to discuss Harvest Fest. Does he not realize the team he manages has now permanently set up camp in the basement of the NFC East? Thats cowardly. The defensive coordinator is statistically the second worst in the history of football. Hes been here one year longer than Gregg Williams was. Thats insane. You gave up three first rounders for a quarterback. In front of that quarterback you put one first rounder and little else. Thats irresponsible. Youd think a team that won three titles with THE HOGS would understand the importance of the line. You constantly ignore the safety position. I see no end to the losing. It certainly wont end with Bruce Allen at the helm. It wont end with A.J. Smith taking over (if that is your hair-brained scheme). It wont end with signing big time free agents. It wont end with being the lead story on NFL Sunday Countdown every morning. It ends when you hire a real GM. It ends when you hire a stronger personnel and scouting department. It ends when you build through the draft. It ends when you invest in the offensive and defensive lines. It ends when the owner stops hanging out with his pet players. But until it ends I must walk away from this team. My dad severed ties with you in 2011 after 50 years, and that was probably 10 years too late. Redskins tickets used to be an heirloom in my family. They were a rite of passage for children. They were part of who we were. I used the past tense in that last sentence, because were done. Perhaps Ill look into following the Panthers. Maybe the Ravens? But I cant follow the Redskins. Im indifferent to you at this point...and thats worse than hate. We had a nice 50 years with you. The 80s were nice to my dad (I was a little young to remember). I think its just time we go our separate ways. -Chris All I can say is wow... But wait! How Dow the Redskins reply to this letter? With this... Thank you for your passion and support of the Washington Redskins! We value comments and opinions from all of our fans. We look forward to your continued support in 2015. Hail to the Redskins! If that isnt just a slap in the face... Like I said I dont care for the skins at all but as an overall fan of the sport, I know that Dan Snyder has got to go. -Brad
