Why do fans defend their teams so much?

[NorthCoastSteelersFan]

Aw, shit. I forgot to answer the OP's actual question. Here goes:


"Fan" is short for "fanatic." OF COURSE we support our teams (and their key players) thru thick and thin.


I defended Ben when he was under fire...and I would expect no less from a loyal Pats fan. That is the order of things.

 

[MISKO]

So Ben? A troubled soul or date rapist?

so can you show me when ben was arrested for rap e and and was convicted in a court of law ? if not stfu mr glass house with broken glass.. no arrest = no crime

 

[PatsFan2003]

You don't want to go there. My QB got a 6-game suspension for getting a BJ from a voluntarily drunken coed in a restroom during the off-season. (2-game reduction later, for admitting that he screwed up, and completing counseling).

Meanwhile, Plays-in-a-Dress compromises the integrity of an actual game...a conference championship...and, though apparently uncooperative and unrepentant, he gets only four games off. Glass houses, en sech.

I suspect that history will be kinder to Ben, than to your pampered prima donna.

Ok. so troubled soul taking advantage of a drunken coed claiming she was asking for it. got it.

Anything to direct public opinion away from the Patriots lies and deceit. Regardless of how pathetic the angle.

Isn't there some type of morals clause in the NFL by-laws. Is that not a rule now?

Oh that's right. Only the rules you care about...

 

[broncosmitty]

I'd almost forgot how Ben raped that chick in a bathroom and then hurried up and got married so people would move on and think of him as closer to human. Wow, time flys when the NFL is rigging SuperBowls against Seatle and then handing out phony game MVPs.

But I never forgot about his motor cycle accident.

they all want it ..so you never pick up a drunk chick at closing time at the bar and took her home and had sex with her .. if you say no I call bullshit cause we all did

I care about the laws of this great nation that we live in .. the man was not arrested so therefore he is innocent of any crime so put that in your pipe and smoke it

And no one in the NFL bent the rule to gain an advantage to the game? That's the level of infraction Brady is guilty of (see I admit he's broken the rules)

Fairness and less hypocrisy is what I've been complaining about

The suspension dealt with NFL rules.

nope he didnt rap e any bimbo,, if you say yea he did show me the arrest record please .. and I dont see the big deal about the cycle accident is

Why are we still trying to deflect with other violations of the past?
1.

'the difference is'...and...you lost me...


the broncos were popped twice in 4 years. pats twice in 10.

the difference is...(now you may continue)

The difference is the Broncos cap violations occurred almost 20 years ago under a different commishineer, without mass social media.

You need to stop the deflection by trying to compare other transgressions. Own your dirty laundry, and be happy your team is the current champions.

do the morals clauses you speak of extend to the owners?

yes it did for putting himself in a bad position not for raping any bimbo

He has absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

I'm not privy to PA police reports, court records en sech.

But I definitely read it on the Internet.

I don't know what the big deal was on the motorcycle accident either. Like Manny Ramirez said, it's not like he was raping nobody.

Don't waste your time man.

john L williams was a monster. brian blades IMO, overrated.

cortez kennedy was a stud.

I made a thread a few months ago about how different the 1990 draft would have been had Jimmy Johnson not thrown his #1 overall pick at Steve Walsh in the supplemental draft in '89. I speculated that Jimmy would have taken Cortez #1 in '90, and may have still gone with Maryland in '91. imagine the defense with Tez and Maryland in the middle....

As for Blades, not sure he can be that overrated, most people don't even remember who he is, and those who do remember the shooting of his cousin more than anything. He was a solid possession WR before possession WRs were glorified. He was the last Seahawk WR to make the pro bowl (1989).
