It disgusts me. We are laughed at and made fun of for being Bama fans and for living in Alabama. It would be ok if it was once in a while but it's multiple times a day and frankly I am tired of being made fun of and being the only one with the stones to take a stand.
If you think it's cool to be called a Gump or trailer trash then frick you. Otherwise take a stand. Don't put up with it, it makes us look like pussys. At least RA any negative speech directed at Bama fans like Gump etc.

Forrest Gump, though fictional, accomplished more as an idiot-savant than any other person in the history of mankind. Why would I respond negatively?

Also, grow a pair and stop being offended. If these jokes hurt you, then it is likely that they hit home.

Gump is not a pejorative. Dude was awesome and wildly successful. I don't live in bama so sorry about your inferiority complex, but I do live in the heart of gator country and the locals are extremely similar... big deal we are in the south and trailers and rednecks are everywhere. I rather enjoy it vs the large metropoli I've travelled to. Embrace it and move forward man.

I honestly don't care about being called a gump. It doesn't rustle my jimmies. I know that I am not married to my sister, live in a trailer, or a sidewalker who gains all of my worth from UA football.

I also know that most Auburn fans don't act like little brother, and most LSU fans don't smell like corndogs. It's a message board, a world of absurdities, a place where jimmies are meant to be rustled and wit is your only defense.

Step back a little and gain some perspective.

I always wondered why those that live in Alabama take so much redneck shite from the Cajuns. Ive lived in 2 different towns/cities in Louisiana and they take a back seat to no one in trashiness. Quite often im one of the few on the Rant that are actually calling them out on this hilarious hypocrisy and i dont even live in Alabama. Southerners calling other southerners rednecks is about as dumb as it gets. And thats before bringing up the fact that there are plenty of poors in the north and whats the difference between living in a shitty slum hole apt than living in a trailor. I'd take that shite from no one.

For the most part, we're all grown men here. We really don't care if someone calls us names. Especially on an internet message board.

I doubt most here actually live in a trailer, but that's based on what little I know.

If it offends you, then by all means, RA them.

You're going to get offended by name calling from anonymous posters on a message board?

Quit being a fricking pussy and log out.

I don't care about being called a gump. I do care about the imbeciles at Fan Day and such that feed the stereotype.

Let's face it, a lot of the terms and stereotypes for us are well earned. Maybe not by your actions, but take a look around this state, or in Tuscaloosa on game day. We have a lot of trashy fans. Nothing you or I can do about it, so don't let it bother you.

Forrest lived in a pretty nice house. Better than any place most folks will ever live in.

This post is perplexing. I was around in your early days so unlike these guys I know what you look like, the house you live in, the car you drive and you know you have beaten your wife before.

You are the epitome of a fricking redneck gump.

It doesn't bother me a bit.

I embrace when people call me rednecks, say I frick my cousins, animals and whatever.

I frick my cousin? Sorry your family is ugly, my cousin is hot!

I've never heard my dog tell me no, I think she likes it.

And you can't win a National Championship without a little "duck tape".

Have fun with it instead of getting upset IMO.

Other than that, it's the fricking internet, you are the one making us look like pussies crying about being called a name. Boohoo, get some thicker skin.

The nickname is at maximum stupidity when it comes out of their mouths. What better way to let someone show their true colors then spout off with dumb shite like that?
