How many people people do you know, that claim to like a certain sports team, wear the jerseys and the hats all the time, but know absolutley nothing about "their" team, nor do they watch them play. The type of people who, when they come to your house and happen to see a game on tv, and the team they "support," is playing the team that you actually support, and then proced to talk shit and root against your team. Now, don't get me wrong, I think the only place trash talking should be allowed is during sports games or about sports teams, especially when one of your friend's favorite team rivals yours.
For instance, I am a Raider fan, my roomates are 49er fans, so as you can imagine, there is a lot of shit talking around here. I have no problem with that at all, because whatever shit they start talking, I just talk back. But for those of you keeping up with the current season of the NFL, the Raiders just had a 3 game losing streak and sit at 7-7. The 49ers are 10-3 and are in the playoffs for sure, so of course, I get to hear about it, but I don't care, I'm that type of person that starts comparing stats to their team over the course of the enitire NFL history just so I can keep up somehow, lol. Unfortunatly, they seem to keep winning the trash talking matches this year, because lets face it, the 49ers are 2nd best team in the NFL right now, and my Raiders......Well....We don't need to talk about that right now. haha
So getting back to the actual subject at hand, I recently experienced one of these abnoxious fake fans a few weeks ago. My neice's boyfriend had come over on thanksgiving day, and the 49er/Ravens game was on. He claims to be a Raiders fan, which would be cool, IF HE ACTUALLY WATCHED ANY OF THE FUCKING GAMES!!! Everyone is sitting in the livingroom watching the game, and my roomates don't really know this guy that well to begin with, and he starts talking shit and rooting against the 49ers!!!!!! He has a fucking Raider sweater, wallet, key chain, etc, but he can't even tell me what the name of our quarterback is!!!!!! He didn't even know who the Raiders had played that day, or any other day for that matter, or if we won or lost!!!!!! But yet when you tell them if we had won or lost, he responds with the cliche, "Yeah!!! That's right"(winning) or "Awwww, damnit, that fucking sucks"(losing-obviously)
So as you can imagine his loud, obnoxious trash talking about somebody else's team, while representing my team(which wasn't even playing) just comes off as idiotic and childish. Guaranteed if my roomates had wanted, they could have layed into him with as many stats and facts about how much better their team was than ours(this year anyways), and he wouldn't be able to say shit. BECAUSE HE DOESN'T KNOW SHIT!!!! These type of people are the ones that just want to pretend like they're into sports to look cool in front of people who actually do watch sports.
On top of those type of fake sports fans, you have the band-waggoners(don't know if that's how you spell that), that follow only the team that happens to be doing the best that year. Then the next year they stick with the same team as the year before, until another team starts winning more games. I can't stand these fucking people!!! PICK A FUCKING TEAM AND STICK WITH IT!!!!!!! I can tell you why I think they pick the best team every year. It's because they're the type of people who like to talk trash, but don't like to have trashed talk to them. So if they rep the best team in the league, then they have free roam to talk shit about anybody elses team, and there's nothing anybody can say in rebuttle, about sports anyways. You can always tell them what fucking posers they are and how they don't know shit about what it even means to be the fan of a team. We loyal fans stick through all the losing seasons, embarrasing games, and shit talking just so at the end of the season we can say, "We'll get it next year." And when that finally happens, it's awesome, wether you win the championship or not, just winning more games than the year before is a good feeling. These assholes don't get that exhilerating, proud feeling you get see your loyalty finally pay off for you, they just constantly ride that non-stop winning train with no real loyalty to any of the teams they claim to like............Watching a team win doesn't make you a true fan, It's being able to watch a team lose and still be faithfull to them, by watching the games and rooting for them no matter how bad they've been playing or how many games they've lost, becuase there's always next year. That's what makes you a true sports fan.
Next time you see a true 49er fan, one that's been loyal to them over the past 10 terrible seasons, ask them how it pays off to be a true, loyal sports fan. I would explain it as a Raider fan, but the 49er fans have got a bit more to be excited about then we do this year unfortuantly. lol GO RAIDERS!!!!!!!
