I disagree. The Redskins are (unless they win BIG) relegated to the sports section and the sports part of the news (last three minutes of the show) and you can avoid it if you want -these two are, literally, everywhere. People fall in love and get married every damn day. I'm sick of the fetish-izing and fawning bullshite of it all.

I prefaced my comments with the 'misanthrope' label, didn't i?
