I used to be a huge Redskins fan since I started learning about football as a child. Until 5 years ago when I was attending a Public Speaking course at MSU Denver. Our professor assigned us to support an argument we are passionate about. I chose to support keeping the Redskins name. But, to make a long story short, throughout all of the research I did I concluded that I could no longer support the Washington Redskins and Dan Snyder's choice to keep the name. I took my Brian Orakpo jersey off, dropped it to the ground, and stood on it as I fielded questions. Our professor was a big Dallas Cowboys fan and was blown away. It was cool too that I still got an A on that assignment regardless of the fact that I went 4 minutes over on timing. I'm not a fantastic speaker by any means but I try. After that I took more than a year off from watching NFL football and shifted my focus to soccer.
