The thing is everyone here is from out of town and have adopted the Nationals as their new hometown team, particularly those who've lived here for 5 years plus. DC is unique like that - something which people outside the region don't understand.
There is nothing more pathetic than taking it upon yourself to decide who is or isn’t a “true fan”. I’ve lived here for ages and the nationals fans are just as real as anyone else. People get angry around here if the Redskins are even brought up anymore and many have just taken to calling them THE FOOTBALL TEAM. The statement that this is a redskins town was maybe true a decade ago but it’s not anymore. Those of us who live here and listen to the sports radio around here would know.
