For any true Washington football fan, last week's season opener was a disaster. Philadelphia delivered an athletic beatdown on my beloved burgundy-and-gold the likes of which we haven't seen since the Gus Frerotte era. Quarterback (and possible messiah) Robert Griffin III was reduced to a shell of his former self -- a rocket ship turned into a paper airplane.
Worst of all, though, was that my glorious hometown team continued to call itself the most racist name in all of sports.
The Redskins.
Still? For real???
