The Hogettes have retired! Long Live the Hogettes.
It has been three decades. Thirty years ago the Washington Redskins' front line was christened "The Hogs," in honor of their blue-collar dedication to effective blocking, getting their snouts down in the mud if necessary.
ESPN's web site reports, "The group of male fans who have cheered on the Washington Redskins for three decades while wearing dresses, floppy hats and pig snouts announced Friday that the group is retiring."
The whole story is here on the Hogettes' web site.
To put the story in perspective, when the Hogettes were organized, there was no web and no web sites.
For that matter, hardly a fan is now alive who remembers that famous day and year.
