Poll: As a Skins fan, Should I hate the Ravens and Why?

[Redskin_85]

In 2000 the skins were expected to win the super bowl. The redskins and ravens got in a TV turf battle about TV markets in Preseason. Ravens had yet to do anything, and the skins were expected to do so well, that everyone was a Redskins fan.

As the season wore on, Ravens fans started popping up everywhere.... They acted as if they had always been a Raven fan and started talking trash. Even more, most of them started beliving that the Ravens were the greatest football team of ALL TIME. Even when the Redskins beat them that year, it didn't stop.

Just before Kickoff at the playoffs, the put a sign up on the score board...

it said "todays Playoff Attendence - PSInet Stadium - 71,000+"

Then it continued

"FedEx field - 0,000"

I've hated them ever since....

Wow are you serious lol? They got way too much time on their hands. From what I have learned since moving to Baltimore County is that Ravens fans hate everyone. If you are playing them that week no matter who you are, their hate level makes absolutely no sense. I use to work with a Steelers fan in Baltimore, and he told me that Ravens fans hate the Steelers and Steelers fans hate the Browns and that they could careless about the Ravens. That they are Steelers wannabes when it's just never going to happen. Ravens fans just like to pick a fight with everyone to make people want to care about their little purple existence when in reality no one is gonna care about a 12 year old franchise the way they care about teams that have been around for 70 plus years. They carry the same arrogance that the players on their team carries. This is why I can't stand the sight of them. And they are confused. In a local ad for celebration of the 1958 Championship game between the Colts and the Giants, they had a "Then" half with Unitas and a "Now" half with Flacco. Shouldn't Manning be in the other half lol. I know that makes them sick and I just laugh at them.

i dont really care for the ravens to be honest

I'm from md and do not hate them and am not cool with them

I dont get mad if they win and it doesnt really make my day if they lose

[nneece]

You should hate the Ravens because obviously they are a well run organization with a good FO and the Skins are not.

[Bishop Hammer]

because their fans are absurdly annoying. the list goes Philly fans, dallas as a team, then ravens fans. although now ravens fans may move in front of dallas.






:gaintsuck

The fans are the reason I hate the B-Morelame Raisins. Especially, this time of year when the Skins are watching the playoffs from home and Ravens squeak into the playoffs their fans are unmercifully annoying.

By the way screw the Ravens!

[BigRay]

I love the city Baltimore I have heavy ties to the city my parents are from Baltimore. But I hate the Ravens because of their fans , Terrell Suggs I think he's the biggest a-hole on the face of the planet. It just the arrogance of the team and their fans that really get under my skin.
They get mad at me when I see well really it was the Cleveland Browns that won that championship man if looks could kill. I would be dead by now LOL.

[MLSKINS]

I am kind of Cool with Ravens. They got a good defense and I loves me some defense.

But I am going for them or the Steelers in the Super Bowl. I like the Steelers more because their fans are cool.

[terpskins10]

I like the Steelers mor because their fans are cool.

Apparently, you've been more blessed than I have. The Steelers fans I know are the most obnoxious people you will ever meet. More arrogant and less knowledgeable than Cowboy fans.

I've hated the Ravens ever since their inception. I'll always despise a team that steals a team from another city. It's particularly outrageous for Baltimore to do it. They moan and cry about the Colts being stolen from them -- and then they do the same thing to Cleveland!

Bingo! If I live to be 100, I'll never understand how a Turdbird fan can look itself in the mirror. Not only are they stupid, they are undeserving of a team.

So, as a Redskin fan, I couldn't care less about them. As a football fan I'm appalled that a city who let their own Championship winning team (Colts) leave because they wouldn't support it, should be allowed to steal a team away from a city that adored it. I hope I live long enough to see Baltimore lose the Turdbirds.

Would it pain you to know the Skins originally came from Boston?

I get your point, though.

Not even on the same planet, much less apples and oranges, but I get your non-applicable point.

[ldysknzfn1]

I hate 'em b/c they're the Ravens and they have purple unis...I do like Ray Lewis tho..he's a beast..lol

[tomwvr]

The problem I have with Ravens fans is this

1) Colts left Bmore in the night sneaking away - fans cry not fair even though the Colts had no one going to games
2) Bmore steals the Browns from Cleveland - even though the Browns were selling out the games every week.
3) Bmore fans said Washington Fans should adopt the O's When the Senators left and think it is awful that Washington now has the Nats.

And when I was growing up I rooted for 3 teams Skins, Colts and whoever was beating Dallas that week.

I was born in Maryland and raised in NW D.C.
I was pretty much raised to loath everything Baltimore. So....yeah....defiantly not cool with the Ravens. I don't hate the Ravens as much as I do the O's, though...I am really not okay with the O's.

[LoudMouth12thMan]

No, I wouldn't hate them. They're right down the road. We're a Maryland team too ya' know.

Who cares. I'll cheer for them over Pittsburgh b/c Tomlin's big head will explode if the Steelers win a Super Bowl. I'm an Ed Reed fan, a Ray Lewis fan to some degree, Laron's brother is on the team (on I.R.), and how can you not cheer for Flacco? I'm pulling for them. I'm also pulling for Arizona b/c of Grimm, Whisenhunt, Rolle, and Hightower.

I said steals a team from another city. I don't think Washington stole the team from Boston. Nobody was showing up to games there, even when the team was good. I have no problem with a team relocating under those circumstances.

P.S. How do you use the multi-quote feature? I've never figured it out. I don't want to sidetrack the thread, but if someone could PM me with instructions, I'd appreciate it!

dont mind them to much.
