Redskins linebacker Robert Henson, who has yet to play in a game, wasn't happy with fans booing the team Sunday against the Rams. Mike Greenberg was equally unhappy Henson tweeted that fans were "dim wits" and those working "9 to 5 at Mcdonalds" shouldn't question the team.
Check out Henson's apology and then Greenberg's rant in the video above.
“i have been a die hard redskins ever since i can remember. For this guy that hasn't even played in a meaningful game this season to call me and the beloved fans here dim wits is the lowest of the low. i served 2 tours in iraq proudly and even while i was over there i watch my team miss the playoffs year end and out. what i am trying to say is yes the fans here who make it possible for you to seat on the bench and drink gatorade also want to cheer for a team that is winning.

“Players making comments like this = Arrogant, spoiled, ignorant athletes. Fans making comments like this = Passionate, Caring about their team. Not that Henson was right but fans/media get a lot of leeway when it comes to insulting athletes. And they can get away with insults, harassing their families, racial slurs, who knows what else all because 'they pay the player's salary'
