It's the SEC rant. It's a pile of lowbrow shite if you haven't noticed. Most threads are passive aggressive spinning or trolling other fanbases.

The reality is that many of us are CPAs, lawyers, physicians, or college kids of womanlike stature and athleticism. The OT admission standards do not apply to this board. Many of us stand under 6 ft tall, could scarcely break 6 on the 40, can't bench our body weight, and are older than the players that are discussed on this forum. We live vicariously through players with whom we have no real association but project ourselves onto them due to the tribalistic nature of Man. And it's fun as shite. It's a hobby.

You need to realize that the relative respect the player on your favorite team garners from a bunch of other dorks on the internet means very little.

eta. and to use the lack of respect given to said player in debate with other members of a fanbase as the reason you hate "95%" of those associated is prima facie evidence that you take this too seriously. Step back and have perspective is all I'm saying. Too many times it takes people posting a tragic occurrence before we all say, "it really puts things in perspective, it's just a game". Why not have that attitude all the time? Debate is one thing, but getting really worked up to the point of "hate" is another.
