Why do we fans put each other down?

[Keepin' it real]

This has to be the most frustrating aspect of posting on this Spurs forum. People are berated for not being real fans, for being bandwagoners, etc. WTF? :bang

I've attended many Spurs games and gone hoarse from yelling for the Spurs, I own the championship DVDs, watch all the televised games ... I love these guys more than anyone I know.

But oh, if I say (or anyone says) the season's basically over because of Manu's and Tim's injuries, all I hear is "bandwagoners," "you're not a real fan," and similar BS. :rolleyes

We're all fans, we just have different points in time at which we see the writing on the wall and begin to accept the inevitable.

We also squabble about the Spurs roster. For some of us, Manu is the favorite, for some Time, for others Tony. For me Tony is the most polarizing player because of his great stats but endlessly disappointing 4th quarters when we need him most. I criticize him because I'm a huge Spurs fan but he lets me down way too much. Disagree all you want, but keep it focused on the issue and don't make it personal. In the immortal words of I know not whom, "Can't we all just get along?" (or something like that) :toast

Let's talk shit to the Lakers fans, Rockets fans, Mavs fans, etc, but not to each other. Peace.

Because when you get thousands of people together (regardless of what team they collectively root for) there are going to be disagreements.

This thread sucks.

[Death In June]

That's the nature of the internet, getting offended by it is like getting offended by bathroom graffiti. It's just some random asshole spouting nonsense. Let it be.

[HarlemHeat37]

it's not really Spurs fans, it's just fans of any team in general..

I feel put down by this thread. It's a vicious cycle.

Into a soul absolutely free
From thoughts and emotion
Even the tiger finds no room
To insert its fierce claws.

You could not have made it through this season without being pissed off at how complacent and full of themselves the Spurs had become.

[Capt Bringdown]

The ignore list is your friend, and will help you 100% in avoiding posters you find obnoxious. Try it - it works!

[redskinfan]

there are only around 4 people on this site who's opinions matter, everyone Else's get's shot to shit...

[15 RINGS BITCH]

many fans just think they know more than the next guy.

its really simple.

the intelligence of a fan base is always a direct connection to the amount of championships any given team has won.

for instance, spurs fans can be argued to possess more basketball intelligence than rockets fans due to having more championships, just as houston fans have more than dallas and the suns and so on.

lets go lakers!!!!

It's Popovich who is full of himself, not the Spurs players.

Popovich and his "system" -- the system that only relies on squeaky wheels and used parts.

Somebody needs to inform this moron that an NBA player's life does not begin at 30.

[15 RINGS BITCH]

its that beard, havent the spurs sucked since he grew it?

good point, only in the last 10 years though, because any longer, and the intelligence would expire. Unless refrigerated. But i digress.

See i can make up stuff too :blah

[15 RINGS BITCH]

nice try but as far as expiration awareness, see my previous post.

Well, I came here to enjoy some camaraderie with fellow Spurs fans. Sadly, most of you seem to have some sort of mental defect that prevents you from communicating with any tact whatsoever.

OK, just so I can fit in (and given the negativity and vulgarity in the replies to me), see my responses below:

Fuck you. I acknowledged disagreements, but they should be civil.

A Mavs fan? FUCK YOU, sincerely.

Exactly. If you want five fans sitting around holding hands, SR is thataway ---------------->

As a leader on this forum, your utter lack of leadership and emphasis on ... sportsmanship, civility, etc. ... is disheartening. We should all be able to disagree without resorting to profanity and insults. I'm not talking about kumbaya, but at least a modicum of respect should be a given.

But, based on so many profanity-laced tirades that I read on here daily, and based on your dismissive response, vulgarity appears to be the flavor of the day, so all I gotta say is: FUCK YOU.

[Gervin44Silas13]

Let's Face it Wanabee Spurs fans got spoiled when we won the titles....
But all of a sudden wannabes hate the Spurs because the National Media dictates, their ESPN mental toughts, and cause they are winning to many titles. i remeber in our "07 run how many PHX fuck fans were in the At&T Center, wear tHeir Gay Nash Jerseys!

I hate the Bandwagon fan!!!!!

Hey Laker fan you can't count your Minnesota Titles...there are not Lakes in La only Drugs , Hookers, and Thugs
Hey Celtic Fan you only won your titles in the 1950's and '60 cause there was only like what???......10 teams in the NBA.
Hey Bulls fan ?......David Stern Fixed those titles, w/ the Jordan Push-off..of course.
He become such a recluse...did you even see him in the hall of fame... it seemed he didn't want to share the spotlite w/ Stockton and David.
That Fat Fuck hamburger eating bastard Willbon was saying, "That Jordan should have been inducted all by himself" WTF?

Its the Basketball Hall of Fame you dickhead!!!

Anyways I hate these 3 teams because I so fucking tired about hearing how Lame eerrr great they were.
The Spurs would have beat these teams w/ total defense...Bar None!
