Fair enough!

I agree with this 100 percent. Top to bottom. The only thing I’d add, though, is that people get to think other people are ridiculous when the form a person’s disappointment takes is sufficiently ridiculous.

No, the point I’m making is that sports commentary has overreacted to the Hot Take so thoroughly that entire subcultures (analytics-oriented baseball fans, NBA Twitter) that base their entire enjoyment of sports on contrasting their own more enlightened attitudes against those dumb, deluded fans who deign to get

Indeed, it’s a product baked into the system. And yet you and Deadspin and the entire Woke NBA Fan Industrial Complex don’t blame the system; you blame fans, who give you the convenient target of people you can look down your nose at. Funny about that.

And you are spending your Fourth of July getting off on this website by looking down your nose at him and his sad, working class commitment to a sports team. So. You know.

Yeah it’s crazy that fans who pay hundreds of dollars to go to a game, even more on merchandise for their team, whose cities spend hundreds of millions of dollars to build stadiums under threat of teams leaving, who are constantly badgered by those teams to care more, invest more, be “better fans,” might get upset

Yes, we get it, you’re an enlightened sports connoisseur who looks down on fans, who are forever getting emotionally invested in teams that invest enormous amounts of money in getting fans to emotionally invest in them.

What Quebec really needs to do is become a populated American metropolis with a warm weather climate and very little interest in hockey. That’s how you get an NHL team.

I love this man. He’s not clowning at all, and can pull this shit with a straight face. And in addition to being a BAMF, he’s also is a wise, sensible businessman. He’s like a paradigm of what an NFL star should be.

“Run through a mutha fucka face, then you don’t have to worry about them no more.”

Just when I thought I couldn’t possibly like him more than I already do. May he never leave the public eye.

Pete Carroll when asked for life advice: Pass

So, how long until someone makes the 100 hour youtube video that’s just him saying “over and over and over and over and over and over and over...”

Even Mac Dre thinks Marshawn Lynch has a thick Bay accent.

How dare a puny little Cleveland fan entertain the thought of becoming as arrogant as your typical Boston! You won a championship. A championship. Big deal. When the Cavs win another 16 championships, the Indians win some, the Browns win more than 8 games a year in two consecutive seasons you can start being proud of

How did they already make something worse than the 4 rings shirt? It should have taken 3 more Cleveland wins to earn that.

Don’t pretend you had a hand in the victory. Oh, you stuck by your boys this whole time? Guess what? No one gives a shit, not even the team itself. Don’t tell me you always believed in them, because I know you’re lying. And don’t try to force your sad fan credentials on me, like you have a bunch of Purple Hearts

Drew, the other big difference between Cleveland and Boston (aside from the incredible discrepancy in the percentage of their respective populations who are openly and proudly racist) is that Boston cried about how bad the Patriots were before the Brady era and that the Sawx went over 80 years without a title. From

Cleveland is already full of insufferable assholes. They set Lebron’s jersey on fire when he left. There is also the entitlement that since they live in a shithole instead of somewhere like Miami or LA they deserve to have success. Its too late but if it makes them feel better almost all fans are insufferable.

Trick question; sports fans are inherently entitled pricks. The success of their chosen franchises only affects how loud they can be about it.
