Ok. Well in that case then, I guess that just makes you a good friend then? Good call; trade one undignified action for another.
It’s shit like that, that makes matters even worse. Bitter, ignorant statements like “What that makes me is someone who does not want to see Eagles fans happy, ever.” That’s a good way to look at stuff. Really good sportsmanship. My team sucks, I hope yours does too. But that’s not the only time I’ve heard that statement towards Philadelphia fans. And why? There’s no reason. I’ve heard, “Well Philadelphia sportsfans are assholes, and they deserve to lose.” Well for one, I’ll say once again that we’re not assholes, we just want our team to win. We don’t give a damn about any other teams but our own. When our team’s not winning, we get angry at them because their job is to win for us. We don’t say, “Hey, our team’s not winning, let’s find a new team to like for the season.” Secondly, I’d like to ask, how many actual friends do you have that are Philadelphia sports fans, and assholes about it? I hate to say it, but the only asshole sportsfans that I have ever come across in almost four years of being outside Philadelphia haven’t been the Philadelphia sports fans. And to the people that aren’t your friends, i.e. everyone else in Philadelphia that you don’t know… who cares what they think. I thought I was your friend, and that should matter a little more than people you will never meet. I think I’ve been a pretty good sport about stuff. Maybe it’s been that my teams have for the most part made it further than any of my “friends” teams, and I haven’t had to be a sour sport about things, but it’s all a freakin game. I’ve always said to myself at the beginning of the previous seasons, that if my team doesn’t do it and a friend’s team does; good for them. But I never said damn, the Eagles lost, I hope all my friends can feel shitty just like me. But then again I guess I’m different then most, and I place a greater value over friendship than I do a game that I have no control over.
