Lifelong Redskins Fan. Learning to say Commanders. My wife and I are proudly raising three Burgundy and Gold fans while in exile in Dallas. Having lived all over, my fandom in other sports is pretty eclectic (GS Warriors, Texas Rangers, Colorado Buffaloes, Dallas Mavericks, PGA, FC Dallas) but my loyalty to the B&G has not and will not waver. Players, owners, execs and coaches come and go, but true fans never waver. #HailToTheDubs
