Redskins Fans: We Create Them Early
As most people know, I live in the Philadelphia metro area. My kids were born at the very first hospital in the nation. Unfortunately, Matt Terl hasn’t called me yet to come work with him on the Redskins blog. So, until he does, I may be stuck here for a while longer.
A few years ago, my son came home from pre-kindergarten singing the Eagles flight song.
“Fly Eagles, fly, on the road to victory…”
Well, as you might be able to imagine, that just wasn’t going to work. You see, one of the teachers at his school knew that I was a Redskins fan and he purposely taught my son the Eagles fight song to get under my skin.
I refused to allow that to stand one minute longer than necessary! I promptly went to Google.com and looked up the words for the entire “Hail to the Redskins” fight song. To my wife’s dismay, my son and I memorized those words that very night. I sang the melody and made sure that when he returned to school the next day, he’d have the appropriate song for “show and tell.”
My son did me proud. So, when I saw this video today, and I just couldn’t resist sharing. It brought a smile and fond memories of teaching my son the right way to watch football; from the lense of a Die Hard Redskins fan.
