You sounded different about fair weather fans about 3 months ago.
--- Quote from: Patrick on 01 Apr 2014, 03:40 ---Great, baseball season again. Ugh. I fucking hate baseball. Never heard of a sport that had more of an overwhelmingly self-righteous attitude among the fanbase, and the following is my story.
I spent 3 years of my life trying to learn about baseball because I found it interesting. After having never grown up around sports, followed by 5 years of living in Europe, where baseball is almost unheard of, it was fascinating, exhilarating. I moved back to the U.S. in 2009, my best friend (a Giants fan) got me started watching baseball at the start of 2010, and lo and behold, SF wins the World Series. I was stoked, because my best friend was stoked. The overwhelming majority of baseball fans, upon the discovery that I was a new fan, accused me of being title residue, nothing but some shithead bandwagon fan. Never felt more belittled by something so trivial in my entire life.
I'm just one man, so my absence from the ranks of baseball fans won't impact the sport. But I am still a man, with every right to enjoy a sport for my own reasons, regardless of how long I've been a fan. Treat new fans with patience and respect. Don't bully them into not liking the sport altogether.

The Seldom Killer:
The Tour de France starts tomorrow. It's the toughest professional sporting event in the world. It starts in the greatest count(r)y in the world. It will be awesome. Already very excited about being able to watch two stages in person. I may have to spend a lot of today jumping up and down.
pwhodges:
World Cup teams as cartoon characters (or specifically anime, I guess from the file name); the only one I recognise is Germany, represented by Asuka from Neon Genesis Evangelion (who is not actually German if you follow the plot):
If Germany wants to claim Asuka, though, this is a better one:
