Oldwarrior, while you may have respect for the team, that doesn't mean you don't dislike them . Most times the teams are extensions of the fans and take on their characterists (hence cocky Yankee ballplayers |
Sorry Imran, I just have to diasagree with that.

The combination of fans and team is the reason that I think you can't seperate it and say you hate A but not B. I think they are too intermeshed to make that distinction. |
I find it very easy to do. It is simply about sports, not cities and people.... for me anyways.

Besides, you are a Yankees AND a Mets fan? What do you know? Though, being a Mets fan, our rivals aren't the Cubs (who knows it might have been in the dark ages ). It's the Braves and we hate the ****ers. |
I know enough. :-P~~ And in the old days... the Mets rivals were the Cubs.

No, not wrong. But at least you will give credit where credit is due. And be reasonable about it. Some others can't. Plus you will hold a serious discussion about baseball without getting personal, unlike others.

I shoudn't bother but what the hell.

That's not true at all. Its only during Baseball season, and only really the hardcore ones at that (probably about 5% each). The rest on both sides really aren't as fanatical as you try to make them out to be. Personally, I NY; the only thing I don't are the Yankees. |
From my experience it is true... in a general sense. Of course , in terms of one knowing people and being friends it is different. But as I said, my experience in general terms says it is true. I grew up and lived in NY for near 34 years. It was the same for me when I moved down south in '90. Until I had gotten to know people, many treated me differently in general terms because I was a Northerner... a Yank. Once you get to know people it is different.
I speak for myself not for everyone so don't take it like I do.
quote:
First, who the hell are you to say whether or not a fan of any particular team should be as gung ho as they are. Second, as I said, the vast vast majority of Sox fans only complain when something like Grady Little or Bill Buckner happens. It comes with a history of heartache. We're passionate, of course, but any team whos fans aren't passionate have no purpose playing.
Go to Philadelphia. If you want fans to dislike, that's who you should focus on. They installed a frickin' jail in the Vet, for cripes sake. |
Who the heck am I? I'm no one. Just one with an opinion based on my experiences. And I never said one cannot be as gung ho as they like.
Just that when I am holding a normal conversation about baseball... I'll blow off the idiots that don't know how to participate. And if I hope they can't enjoy something, for whatever my reasons may be, it's my business and or my problem.
I have nothing against Red Sox fans that I know personally. Many are friends of mine. It is the ones that I see on BB's or websites or hear in the news or whatever... that I make a judgement about. My right as is yours to curse me out. But that just solidifies my position.
I give an opinion and it may rub you the wrong way as LoA has rubbed me the wrong way, but I don't curse him out as the way you curse me out.
quote:
**** you. Who the **** are you? Damning all of us for the select few? That's very high-and-mighty of you, Mr. Can-Do-No-Wrong. |
I've done plenty wrong in my life. And I'm not high and mighty. I don't damn all of you. I already stated that the civil fans should enjoy it. But curseing me out and being Mr. Tough guy to me , shows me where you are standing. You are the one not being civil and as I said.. it proves my point that much further.
Anyway, if the Sox do win , congrats to them ... but you two guys need to know how to be more accepting of it.
