Three Examples of Why One of the Problems With American Sport is the Fans Themselves

Yes, the Internet fandom has been running amok for far too long with no consequences.

Don't believe me?

1) Take this dipshit that posted this on Twitter after the Ravens "defeated" the Patriots:

“Hey, Smith, how about you call your bro and tell him all about your wi----ohhh Wait. #TooSoon?”

 Katie Moody of Baltimore sent that to Torrey Smith about his brother's death.

Katie Moody is a New England Patriots "fan".

I have no problem with threats against someone's life for an action so egregiously callous and classless that it is clear that no one's life is important to this female asshole than her own and that of her Holy New England Patriots.

Maybe if one of these completely idiotic fans was actually physically taken to task and that taking-to-task made public, maybe -- just MAYBE -- we can get some semblance of sanity back.

But who am I kidding when we get this just a few hours later!!

2) Jim McMahon, the former Bears quarterback, says he would've played baseball if he had another go-round at life.

Jim McMahon has beginning stages of dementia due to the hits he took.

That doesn't stop this collection of animals from going off on him...

One actually told McMahon to "man up" about his dementia.

Another basically said to anyone calling him and his animal-squad out that they were complete tools.

Basically, this whole thing about anyone questioning "The Game" is now treated as if they were a domestic terrorist.

The man has dementia because he tried to entertain you motherfuckers.  In a RIGGED SPORT which clearly has been a fraud for it's entire existence.

But you don't care -- these people either need to nut up or shut up and die.

And this is not even limited to football!!

3) Adam Greenberg got one at-bat in the major leagues.

He took a 92-MPH fastball to the dome.  He has vertigo spells ever since.

All he wanted was one more at-bat, and the Marlins are giving it to him, with approval of the Commissioner.  What salary he's getting is being given to the Marlins Foundation, who will give it to brain research.

You can guess what the Internet Warriors have to say about this one...

"What a joke. So many other professional players work hard every day playing many years in the minors and never get the call to the big leagues, Others get injured and also dream of the chance to get back there, but dont. All these other players have enough class to accept their fate. Apparently Mr. Greenberg thinks he deserves something more. He should be happy with the fact that he was a minor leaguer who was not a "prospect" and got a chance."

(And 45 fans gave that a "Like".)

"how do i campaign for a major league at bat? or a technical free throw in the nba? or an opening kickoff return that flies over the end zone for a touchback for that matter?"

(42 fans "Liked" that one.)

FUCK YOU, MOTHERFUCKERS.

That's the only way to put it.   You are so invested in the FRAUD that is corporate sport in this country that you are so completely disconnected from reality and anything which might intrude on your sorry little enjoyment of "The Game".

You make me literally sick sometimes, and I know for a fact that I am not alone.  (Two of these stories were alerted to me by an anonymous friend who is similarly sickened.)

This is one of the reasons that I do not believe that the replacement refs being gone is going to improve the NFL these days.

Why?  Because there are three parts to the problems with the NFL:

1) The corruption at the top (which is where the replacement refs came in).
2) The criminality of the players.
3) and the complete and utter disconnect of anything real by the criminal/violent element of the fans.
