Redskins Fans Have Apparently Decided to End the Season Early
Much like the team they once rooted for, Washington Redskins enthusiasts have ceased giving a shit about football.
This season has skidded hopelessly out of control for the now 6-7 fighting Snyders, with things reaching an ugly crescendo this past Sunday against the New York Giants.
The Skins decided to show the home folks what can happen when professional athletes lack inspiration, spotting the G-Men a comfortable 34-0 halftime cushion.
The grim final score was 40-16, which is actually misleading, as those 16 fourth-quarter points were produced in the very definition of garbage time.
Speaking of halftime, this was right around the time Redskins fans collectively decided to flee FedEx Field with a singular focus and determination that their heroes failed to display while allowing the arthritic Eli Manning to carve them into many pieces.

These people had just witnessed atrocities that will probably haunt them forever and should be lauded for their courage.
However, just last month, Josh Norman was trashing these very same fans, claiming they didn't care.
6-3 1st NFC-EasT, 1st time in along time that in itself should be 👏🏽 We worked on our craft to get here. Now it's you guy's turn.FedexField, is a place where visitors should 'Fear' Not b/c of Us. But b/c of how Terrifyingly Loud!&Menacing! YOU guys the FANS are. Come on #HTTR🏹

Irony, your table is ready.
Of course, this was back in November, when the Skins were 6-3 and on top of a mediocre NFC East.
But things quickly went off the rails after QB Alex Smith's leg was mangled against the Houston Texans.
This unfortunate injury forced Colt McCoy into emergency service, which can't possibly be good.
Sadly, that spastic effort produced a broken right fibula for Colt.
Tragically, it also led to the signing of Mark Sanchez.
Audible sigh.
Captain Butt Fumble was yanked in favor of the freshly signed Josh Johnson, who hadn't taken a professional snap since the NFL-AFL merger and was forced to learn his new teammates names by playing a game of Madden.
Actually, these fans should be awarded reparations for their sacrifices.
