re: What makes athletics in the state of Alabama so toxic?

Winning doesn't make a difference it seems. Both fan bases have been bat shite since they've existed.

Winning is the only difference.

People in Mississippi have been used to being last in everything and bad at football for their entire existence. Alabama's history is the opposite - which has created a feeling of entitlement. When the low IQ, redneck, side-walkers of the state develop a sense of entitlement - it becomes toxic.

You didn't hear about any of these stories when Bama was losing 6 games every year. It wasn't until we won big that you start seeing these stories from enraged fans because their team lost.
