*Tiptoes into the thread*
Sorry about that mess...
But very quickly, I understand, but deeply contend, the distaste for Boston fans. As fans, we want more more more. THAT is why some say it is the best place to play, though. We are passionate. We know the games we are passionate about and expect greatness. We BLEED our teams colors and when they lose, we die a little inside. Are we spoiled? You bet your ass we are, but we are unapologetic about it. We feel like our investment (emotional, time, and money...we have the highest ticket prices across the board because you can't get a ticket) makes our heartbreak reasonable. If you're not from here, you don't get it. Please don't take that as an insult. I don't get high school football in Texas. It just doesn't make sense to me, because I wasn't brought up in it. I don't look on them with resentment, for two reasons. First, there is nothing to look down on. Passion is not dirty. Second, I understand your regional traditions mold you, and it is those very traditions and culture that make this continent great. There are a couple things to remember, though.
1) We aren't all douche bags. Being fanatics (the very route for the word 'fan') doesn't mean we are ALL loud obnoxious asshats. Some of us cheer hard, celebrate quietly, and lose internally. The first thing I did after the Superbowl was text my buddy (who's a huge Giants fan) congrats and vowed my undying support for him in his argument that Eli is, indeed, elite. He mocked me and rubbed the lose in my face.... That is obnoxious, btw.
2) We hate the loud-mouths as much as you all do. They make the rest of us look bad. Real bad.
With all of that said, congrats to the Giants, go Bruins (teehee) and man I love playing SWTOR!
P.S. Vesp, I'm in RI too!
P.S.S Congrats Cusp and Furiel
