The Official Celebrity Redskins Fan Roster

This stuff matters you know.

I mean, it must. Threads about this topic pop up periodically around the Redskins community, and they always seem to generate interest. 

What I have noticed is they also have a tendency to reinvent the wheel every time. Seems to me it’s high time someone compiled and committed to maintaining the official record.

What the [hell]. I'll do it.

Rather than spending weeks tracking down names and links to try to offer a definitive list up front, however, I figure a nod to sanity calls for me to start with what is readily at hand from the linkage and research already done in the above links, and take it from there. 

I am still working my way through all the hundreds of replies in those threads, so this is definitely a work in progress. I am sadly but one man, however ... so please consider this an official invitation/request from your friendly neighborhood Redskins blog to keep an eye out for and forward along names of “celebrities” (an admittedly subjective term) you know or hear about loyal to the burgundy and gold.

Whenever possible, please provide links to credible sources (also a subjective term, but work with me) that allows us to put an individual in the “confirmed” column in good conscience.

Pictures of celebs sporting burgundy and gold or otherwise showing their allegiance would be nice to have as well. It might be fun to have the ultimate Official Celebrity Redskins Fan Photo Gallery to dip into when occasion calls.

So that’s it. The gauntlet’s been thrown down, Redskins fans.

Got celebrities?
