It's Hard To Be A Real Football Club In A (NFL) Football Town

I have lived the entirety of my nearly 50 years in the Washington, DC area. All the professional sports teams that have made the national capital their home, no matter how short or long their stay, have found that if their name wasn't Redskins, they were never going to be the top sporting interest in town. The Bullets, now Wizards, and Capitals have long played second fiddle to Dan Snyder's inept attempt to build a competent, let alone, winning franchise. All Diplomats fans had to deal with this frustration, especially when it came to finding Dips merchandise in local stores.
