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

[The Trashman]

I am a die-hard Skins fan but I now live in Columbia, MD, which is 20 mins from Ravens M&T Bank Stadium.

The Ravens fans are cool with me. We co-exist as one extended family and generally support each other.

I was cool with them up until RG3 hurt his knee in that Ravens game. All of a sudden I started hearing whispers from Ravens fans saying Nagata put our boy, RG3, into retirement and "he ain't coming back", etc.

Since then, while I still have love for the Ravens, I have been watching them out of the corner of my eyes. I don't trust them anymore like I used to.

I sense some jealousy with them but it's not all of them but a whole lot of them harbor jealousy.

Yeah, that's what I've been getting a lot of. I saw a post today where a Ravens fan went through the season and used a funny animated .gif to represent each game. It was very clever. Then it got to our game, and he says this:

I don’t know what’s worse: losing to a team named for an outrageous racial slur when your fans have audibly and visibly invaded half its stadium, or losing after you have literally CRIPPLED that team’s greatest weapon and replaced it with the equivalent of a pea-shooter.

If ever there was any doubt about who to root for this Sunday (really despise the Niner Harbaugh), this put me over the top. Many of them without a doubt take glee in the RG3 fiasco. And they generally hate us for whatever reason.

Please, Niners. Please crush them. The offseason will be truly ponderous if you do not.

Btw, here's the site. Feel free to leave a comment:

I guess I am just full of hate. I hate all 31 other teams.
Yes, there are varying levels of hatred and players I don't mind watching perform at a great level when not playing the Redskins. Seriously, I have no feelings leaning one way or the other with this game. I will have the TV on, but I will be paying more attention to my computer than the TV.
And I agree with the sentiment you NEVER root for any of the other NFC East teams unless it helps the Redskins.
Pittsburgh and New England are a close second and third to the three teams tied for 1st in my most hated teams list.

Willie Lanier > Ray Lewis.

As an aspiring scout however Ozzie Newsome is my equivilant of Michael Jordan to an aspirin basketball player. Nothing but respect for them as an organization.

i am in VA.. and without all the Ray Lewis strokejobs going on, I would've easily rooted for the Ravens. I like B'more, think of it like DC's kinda socailly awkward little brother. (I root for canada in much the same way )

however.. B'more DID have teh totally annoying Ray Lewis circle jerk love fest going on..... so i had to decide if THAT irritated me more than the absolute d-bag head coache of the 49-ers (and that stupid "kiss my tattoos when i have a big play, because peopwle hwve bween swoo mean to me about my bweatiful bwody art..." story).

in the end i rooted for the 49ers to make a game of it, but fall short... just like happened. The one d-bag will be gone (from the playing field)... the SF d-bag will remain insufferable for decades to come.

Ironic isn't it... and Ravens fans try to admonish us about "RG3 worship". GTFOH..

Why do I hate Baltimore? Maybe it's not a big deal to anyone else, but when I am at a WASHINGTON DC pro sports event, I do not need or want to hear the obnoxious and played out "O's" part yelled during the National Anthem. It REALLY bugs pisses me off. Not necessarily because one may or not argue whether it is respectful, rather it is a Baltimore thing...NOT a DC thing (or at least it shouldn't be). Really? Go crawl back to that cesspool of a city and yell that crap. And shame on the Washington sports fans that do it.

I love only 1 team and I can only cheer for 1 team. I hate only 1 team. I only want to see good football from the others if I'm watching. (Of course I want my fantasy players to do well but I wont cheer for their teams) JMO

[mcsluggo]

yeah.. i hate that national anthem butchering as well.

As Fat Albert said, its like school in the summer time.............

Yea, Ozzie is the only person I like and respect in that organization!
