Harry Jaffe: Loserville, U.S.A.

My friend Steve has been a Redskins fan for a few years — 50 or so. His family has had season tickets since the team played in Griffith Stadium. The seats stayed with them as the team moved to what became RFK Stadium and now to FedEx Field.

Steve attended the first home game of the season last Sunday. He was seated above the 50 yard line at the kickoff. He roared along with the Redskins faithful for the team’s few first downs. The day was warm, but the stadium grew cold. By the second half, the fans were silent as the team failed to cross the goal line — all day.
