Right, because we're in-state rivals. There's a lot of tension and hostility there. For Mavs fans too, Spurs fans are by far the worst posters on all 3 major Mavericks boards too when compared to any other teams fans that show up. It's pretty simple...

Rivals, especially geographically-close ones, always, always, ALWAYS think that the rival teams fans are the absolute worst around. But there's no objective measuring stick for that. It's completely subjective and slanted by our own perspectives.

Thus, it means absolutely nothing when a Spurs fan proclaims "Oh God Mavs fans are so awful", just as it means nothing when a Mavs fan states that "Spurs fans are definitely the worst in the whole NBA."

That wasn't a fan, that was a member of your organiztion. You may think that Spurs have the worst fans, but it's a goddamn fact that le belongs to the mavs. Especially when a rep of your organization insults our city and our fans,

So... if it means nothing, why are you still here arguing the point?

I don't see anything wrong with defending the Mavericks fanbase. I'm not attacking the Spurs'. Just pointing out the ridiculousness in making blanket statements like "Mavs fans are the worst."

Excuse it and defend it all you want.

The Lakers were a rival. The Mavs-Spurs rivalry is honestly barely getting started. Most Spurs fans didn't even think of them as a rivalry until this year.

It's not subjective when I can tell you that the actual percentage of Mavs fans that cause problems on this board is much higher than the percentage of any other teams fans that cause problems.

You don't see half of what happens here because about 20 of them are on all-ignore. So they think that everyone can see their posts, but in reality only I can see it. It's some of the worst stuff I've seen on a sports board ever.

See, that's the thing...I DON'T think the Spurs have the "worst fans." There are no worst fans. Every team has great fans, every team has horrible fans.

Citing an opinion of yours as a "fact" is quite laughable.

I didn't say anything about the entire fan base.

I said about the fanbase of the Mavs that has posted on this board.

They are much worse than any other fanbase that has posted here.

Factual.

Just because we are in-state doesn't mean we were rivals, your team couldn't hold a candle to anything the Spurs franchise has done. I don't care what you or you little bag owner says, rivalries are built on the field, pitch, court. Not cause a bunch of overzealous assholes want to make it so.

Fair enough. I'm sure you're right.

Unfortunately a lot of the less reasonable people unfairly extrapolate such instances into really broad generalizations and carry a bunch of hate with them for no good reason.

Unfortunately that's what people do. I always call people on sweeping generalizations.

Anyway, enough of this crap. I don't really care what trash they are posting on their own board. I only care what they do here .. which is why I have given most of them their second chances. So if the racist and other flat out trolling continues, we'll have to end it.

End of thread.
