Having lived in Dallas, I always thought of the Redskins game as just another game. I'm younger so I'm not that familiar with the history of the prior owner and how they tried to keep Dallas out etc...
A weird thing about living in DC is all the cowboys fans here (mainly African americans). I've struck up conversations with these fans wearing cowboys hats/shirts. Apparently, the skins didn't integrate until much later. I think the cowboys did it earlier. So, the fathers rooted for the cowboys and their sons grew up cheering for the cowboys too. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

You're right. Maybe it's because they're Dallas Cowboys.

You're pretty accurate. Plus George Preston Marshall was a huge racist. In fact the original Redskins song was fight for ole dixie not ole DC.
