Apparently some fans loyalty is to players, not a given team. Seems odd to me, but in today's "me,me,me" society I'm not surprised...

Been following the Phins since the Strock and Woodley days. (That is pre Marino for younger kids)Killer b's were fun to watch. Blackwood brothers. Kim Bokamper was my favorite athlete back then. Young kid influenced by my cousins fav team. So Suh going there is not so sour for me. I would always cheer the Lions first, but I still follow many teams from my younger days. Does not make me less a fan, does it?

As for the guys sporting a Dolphin logo... I chalk it up to to getting exactly what this thread is for. A rise from some. It worked I guess.

I do remember Swarm stating he would follow whatever team Suh went to. I am guessing that logo would have been any of the other 31 teams regardless. He kept his word on that.

I tend to pay attention to the entire NFL. I do too much fantasy football not to. Makes it a better expierence for me. The me me me inside of me me me loves watching Luke Kuechly and JJ Watt play anytime 24/7.

I feel sorry for you that you can not have same passion as I do for watching football instead of just one team. Hell I even have stopped going through towns while traveling to watch a HS or pound football games. Love my Lions, but I also love the game.

There's nothing wrong with watching other football or liking other teams, but clearly some of us are getting annoyed with the lengths a few posters are going through with the Dolphins crap.

Just like they're "allowed" to bitch and vent about shit they don't like, so are the rest of us...

To me loyalty is loyalty. Does it really matter if it's a team or a player. Does it have to be within your view to be right? I work with a kid who is now a Bears fan solely because of Brian Urlacher. This kid is from Oklahoma. His loyalty for the Bears grew from loyalty to a player.

I am annoyed at myself because I just made two words up.

Did I ever say it did?

It still baffles me that those who complain about the team are protected by the "right to express their opinion," yet if I want to express my opinion, and bitch about their constant bitching, I'm apparently not allowed to do so. What's up with that? It's cool to bitch about the team, but not to bitch about those doing the bitching? I don't get it...

Then why you keep getting on me for venting about it?

They are expressing their concerns about the team. Not concerns about how someone else's concerns are wrong.

See how this works. I make my opinion to feel what I stated was correct.

You do realize by making a post or copying a post and making a case against someone's opinion is implying their view may be wrong? We all do it everyday here. This is how we discuss things.
