I live in Virginia (not NoVa)and there is not nearly as much support for the Redskins as you would think. If I had to guess I would say they are the most popular team but it's probably a plurality and not a majority and not much passion either. There is even less interest, if any, for the Nats, Bullets and Caps. Everywhere I've lived Black people are either Cowboy or Steeler fans and I've always lived somewhere with an NFL team nearby. It's bizarre and they aren't shy about it either.
Same here. Redskins owner George Preston Marshall refusing to integrate the team until the mid to late 60's is a big reason why the Cowboys (or any other NFL team) are popular in the black community.
