How many of you live in an area with incredibly annoying sports fans?
A bit of a rant:
Where I live, there's a team with the most insufferable fans imaginable. They're completely unavoidable in nearly every aspect of life. Go to the store (or really any business), especially on game day, and 95% of the employees will be wearing gear of some sort. The worst offender is a nearby grocery store that will play the team's games over AM radio when they're on.
When they win?no, scratch that?every single time they merely score?fireworks go off in my neighborhood. They'll go off whether it's 10 AM or 10 PM.
Many of the fans I've overheard don't even seem to understand the rules of the game. I feel that it's considered essential around here to show your fandom in some way, whether or not you actually "like" this team. A lot of them can be hostile to anyone who dares to?*gasp*?like a different team, or just not care about the sport at all.
I don't care about this sport in general, but I always root for this team to lose just because their fanbase is so horrible. I would never waste my time watching one of their games, though.
God, I can't wait to leave this place.
