Competitive anime watching? That sounds incredibly retarded, however I have no doubts at all that in Japan, it exists.
That shit is probably intense too; like the person who blinks the most loses, or just watch it til you die, last man standing wins. America will never be able to touch something THAT hardcore.
I don’t wanna get them mad with what i have to say… it isn’t my domain you know…
You know, all day yesterday I was nice and didn’t have anything to flame you for no reason… after reading this all that is out the window…
Wow, I thought you were just a hater about video games?
don’t be a hater because your teams suck, although it does seem that you pick your sports teams the same as your character selection? Low tier so you have an excuse why you lose?
How is someone being passionate about the team the root for make them dickbags?
Explain why you dislike boston teams? I am begging you please have a better argument about this then you do any damn fighting game theory you have? The Sox have won, finally, and now that that happened they got 2 things…
dickriders… obviously when you win people will hop the bandwagon…
but they also got alot of you fucking haters… we were fine when they found a way to choke every fucking year, or fall apart, now that they win it’s like well now if they choke it’s like people cheer. sometimes this is acceptable… if…
specter you better be a fucking yankees fan, or at least a team in the AL east… if not you should just dig a hole jump into it and die!
maybe you should be like some other weirdos in this thread, I went to a met’s game once so i am a mets fan… ?
now that that is over, lets see your Superbowl prediction, did you just yank this out your ass?
maybe if chad Pennington gets hurt and someone else drags them along… fuck that dude…
ricki gonna start smoking weed again? maybe then theres a chance…
now the falcon… well Matt Ryan, Boston college, I guess I don’t have anything bad to say there…
okay now that the rant is over… specter, and anyone else…
anyone intrested in a VA football fantasy league? I know the baseball idea didn’t pan out, but i don’t think anyone gives a shit about baseball but me or you… no styles you don’t…
anyone down?
…ps specter… your wrong, boston fans may be a bit passionate… so you talk this nonsense again and i am gonna yell and you and call you a peice of shit again…
Ah, this will be a fun post. Ranting is what I do best. I love talking about sports, especially Baseball, and I can definitly explain my issue with Boston.
Anyway, here comes the hate.
Actually I’m a Braves fan, not very low-tier, the only team I hate more than the Red Sox is the Yankees. It’s true that I do hate the teams that just never seem to lose, unless it’s my team. But hell, nobody routes for their team to lose, sue me. If the Royals made it to the post season, and or World Series 10 years in a row, I’d hate them too. I like variety, which is one reason I like football too, typically single teams just don’t dominate in that sport, though the Patriots and Steelers have kinda proved that wrong recently.
Someone being passionate about a team does not make them a dickbag. If you’ve been with a team since forever more power to you, that’s how it should be. I’ve liked the Braves since 1989. I was 5 years old at the time, it’s just coincidental that they’ve made the playoffs like virtually every year, but they could place dead last in Baseball, I’d still be a Braves fan, at this point I’ve buit up 20 years of devotion to them, if you’ve been a Sox fan for that long, you’ve suffered through the bad times too, and that’s what a true fan does.
What makes them a dickbag is exactly what you said, dickriders and bandwagoners. And I swear to God, Boston has more of them than ANYONE except the Yankees. (Fuck you Hillary Clinton.)
I don’t actually hate Boston teams, I hate Boston’s “fans”, and if you’re truly a Boston fan, you should agree with the reasons I’m about to list. If you yourself are a bandwagoner, well then eat a dick.
Boston, currently has more “dickriders” (i.e. fake fans) than anyone. You can’t go ANYWHERE in this country without seeing people wearing Red Sox gear. I live in Richmond Virginia, do you know how far away that is from Massachusets? Pretty far. You can be a fan of whoever you want, but every 5th person I see shouldn’t just randomly be a Red Sox fan, but, judging from their apparel they are, hmm…
And guess what? The Red Sox were trash for a while, seriously, if you saw a Red Sox fan in like most of the 90’s you wanted to shake their hand for being so devoted. Nowadays every fuckface frat boy in the nation is a Sox fan? And I’m sure as hell not gonna shake their hands, I don’t want Hepatitis. These bandwaoners act like simply because they like a good team, that somehow makes them worthwile as a person. That’s like saying “I like shit that’s popular, that makes me a cool guy right?” Not all fans do this but the fake ones do. If this should piss anyone off, it should be the real fans. Trust me, I know a hardcore Yankees fan and nothing pisses him off more than the oceans of fake Yankees fans that don’t know a baseball bat from a cricket bat.
I’m not gonna lie, one of the singular most awesome moments in sports history that I ever saw was when the Sox came back from that 3-0 hole against the Yankees in the 2004 Pennant. That was glorious. That would be the fighting game equivalent of J Wong coming back from a 3-0 hole to beat Daigo 4-3 at EVO. Nobody thought it could happen, and watching it happen was awesome and the Sox deserved it. During that series, I was a Red Sox fan. But I didn’t take it any further than that, I was glad to see the Yankees get owned by their perennial underdog arch-rival, I was glad to see the Sox win the World Series that year, but then all the sudden EVERYONE AND THEIR FUCKING DOG was a Sox fan. What the hell?
The Cardinals have made the World Series twice in the past 5 years, do you know how many Cardinals fans I know? One. The White Sox, also a huge underdog who hadn’t won in forever, won in 2005, how many times do I see people in Wal-Mart or where-the-fuck-ever sporting White Sox gear? Never. I’ve seen precisely one person wearing a Phillies hat since last year, and Philly is closer geographically than Boston. Why do none of the other “good” teams have bandwagoners? Apparently they’re just not as “cool” as the Red Sox.
I project hate onto Boston because a large majority of their fans are just douches trying to look cool by association. When you confront them, something like this happens:
“Man, I’ve loved the Red Sox forever, I liked em back when they still had Johnny Damon.”
Oh, all the way back to just before they won the World Series? Really? Try harder next time liar. You start talking about Mike Greenwell maybe I’ll believe you.
An actual friend of mine, who knows jack shit about baseball was wearing a bo-sox hat the other day, and I called his ass on it. I said. “You don’t even watch Baseball.” He’s like “I been a Boston fan my whole life.” I said “Name one player on their team.” Guess what he said? “Well I’m not really good with names…but my grandfather was from Boston.”
Yeah.
Shit like that pisses me off so much I project my hatred onto the team, even though it’s not really their fault.
Know what else? Richmond had Atlanta’s AAA team for like 46 years, and we just lost em this year. It makes sense for Richmonders to be Braves fans, and I am for that reason. I went to the minor league games every year. I remember seeing Chipper Jones and Ryan Klesko and Javier Lopez play here, in Richmond. When you’re a little kid and you see that, then these guys go on to be stars and play in the World Series a couple times, sure you’re a fan. So obviously Richmond sports radio carries Atlanta Braves games. Which is true…although half the time, you tune in, and what do you get instead? A FUCKING RED SOX GAME!! Yes, the same station, based in Richmond, carries Atlanta Braves games, and Boston Red Sox games, and if both teams are playing at the same time, guess what you get? Red Sox. THEY ARE NOWHERE NEAR US GEOGRAPHICALLY AND HAVE NO TIES TO THE REGION, YET THE EXEMPT MY TEAM! This makes no sense. The Nationals have their own radio station here, but guess what team is close to the region (meaning probably has fans) but we DON’T get to hear their games? The Orioles. Why? Because they suck, and it won’t get the ratings. Fuck that. Even AM radio has “sold out” to the Red Sox, it reminds me so much of the media circus that is the Yankees it makes me want to puke.
The Patriots were the same way. Hell I routed for them in 97 against the Packers, they were the underdog. I didn’t know a single Patriot’s fan back then. But then they won 3 times in a 4 year span. And on top of that it was concurrent with the Sox winning. All the sudden Boston just swept two major sports. It was like handing out cards that allowed “Boston fans” real or not to just be the most obnoxious people ever, and nobody likes a braggart. Especially not when they have no clue what they’re talking about anyway i.e. “I’m from Boston, and our sports teams are awesome, so therefore I’m awesome.” Which is pretty much the attitude all those fans had.
Though, it isn’t fair to say I hate all Boston teams. The Bruins are cool. And I could really not care less about the NBA. But Celtic Pride was a half decent movie.
Yes, like I said I always do it immediately after the Superbowl. So far I haven’t been right, but usually both teams I pick end up in the playoffs. I honestly expect the Falcons to take the NFC South however, Bucs are gonna be worthless (and they’re my team and I’m talking shit about them.) I haven’t been paying too much attention to Carolina, and New Orleans is definitly gonna be competitive, but I’m still gonna give it to the Falcons. But hey, it’s Football did anyone ANYWHERE have the Cardinals last year? No. That’s why Football is awesome, anything can happen.
I like football less that baseball, but I suppose I could be down to do it. I just imagine I’d stop caring halfway through the year though.
Anyway just for the record:
Baseball - Atlanta Braves (since 1989)
Football - Tampa Bay Buccaneers (since 1998)
Hockey - Minnesota Wild (since 2003, I really don’t care THAT much about Hockey)
Basketball - Sacramento Kings (but only in NBA Jam)
Teams I hate:
Baseball - Yankees, Red Sox, the rest of the NL East, and any team with Manny Ramirez on it.
Football - Cowboys (I used to like the Skins, plus they’re the Yankees of the NFL, popularity-wise, and the Cowboys rival fucking Brett Farve in the drama queen department, shut up and play, fags.) Packers, Steelers, Patriots, Raiders.
Hockey - Red Wings, Canadiens, (you’re Canada, speak English for fuck’s sake,) Devils, Stars.
So let’s recap, who did I manage to insult:
Red Sox Fans
Yankees Fans
Hillary Clinton
Frat Boys
People with Hepatitis
Patriots Fans
Overall douchebags who only like a team to be cool
Steeler Fans
Cowboys Fans
Brett Favre Fans
Homosexuals
Man Ram Fans (wait didn’t I just say that?)
People from Quebec
