Living in Rival Territory

Best Helmets

Growing up in the suburbs of Washington D.C. is not an easy suite if you’re a Cowboys fan.

Born in Virginia but raised as a military brat, I was allowed the opportunity to live in multiple different states—once even another country.

We ended up in Texas for a little during my childhood years and with my mother being the die-hard Cowboys fan she is, you can believe that the Dallas Cowboys were always on every Sunday or Monday in my house. My father is a Steelers guy, but the added element that we lived in Texas at the time I watched my first few games of football—it all kind of just fell into place.

Fast forward a couple years into my adolescence and BOOM, I’m back in the Washington, D.C. area—rival territory.

 

Cowboys vs Redskins

 

I think my favorite questions I’ve been asked being a Cowboys fan in this area are things like:
“Have you ever even been to Texas?”
“How can you have been born here and not be a Redskins fan”
“How ‘bout them Cowgirls?

It never gets old and I live for the trash talking during and in-between seasons. I loved it even more this year with the addition to RGIII to the Washington Redskins because we Cowboys fans were able to poke fun at the bandwagon “die-hard” skins fans that just all the sudden bloomed more and more as the season progressed.
Good for them though, they needed this year as a franchise to build back up the lost moral over the last couple of years.

C vs R 2

I’ve come to understand that some Redskins fans have a true hatred for my Boys; so much that sometimes I think they have stronger hatred for my team than a love for their own.
I will take the beating living here, because I know what it comes with—and that’s totally alright.

I was raised a Cowboys fan, and forever will be.
