The Beginning
Texas oil tycoon Clint Murchison was having a hard time bringing an NFL team to Dallas. He tried buying two teams, but the negotiations fell through. In 1958, Murchison heard that George Preston Marshall, owner of the Washington Redskins, was eager to sell the team. Just as the sale was about to be finalized, Marshall called for a change in terms. Murchison was outraged and cancelled the whole deal.

Around this time, Marshall had a falling out with the Redskin band director, Barnee Breeskin. Breeskin had written the music to the Redskins fight song, now a staple at the stadium; additionally, Marshall's wife penned the lyrics to the song. Breeskin wanted revenge after the failed negotiations with Marshall. He approached Tom Webb, Murchison’s lawyer, and sold the rights for $2,500.

Murchison then decided to create his own team, with the support of NFL expansion committee chairman, George Halas. Halas decided to put the proposition of a Dallas franchise before the NFL owners, which needed to have unanimous approval in order to pass. The only owner against the proposal was George Preston Marshall. However, Marshall found out that Murchison owned the rights to Washington's fight song, so a deal was finally struck. If Marshall showed his approval of the Dallas franchise, Murchison would return the song. The Cowboys were then founded, and the legendary rivalry began.

No way man, what's the fun in hating the Cowboys if they don't even exist.

And no way would I give up "Hail to the Redskins"

A little while back when the NFL Network had its Redskins programming day, they ran a story about Marshall and how he was the last owner to integrate. That report claimed that the owners threatened to not allow Marshall to use the fight song if he didn't integrate.

I guess everything in the Redskins history will now be blamed on somebody owning the Skins' fight song...

No way. Why would we want the Cowboys franchise to not exist any more? That would suck. Who would we hate?


The real question: Would you give away the fight song if it guaranteed that the Redskins would NEVER lose to the Cowboys again?

And in case you wanted a visual of THE PLAY....I'll show it to you again. Every Redskin fan goes to sleep well knowing that a Redskin ended his career.
