NFT: Unpopular opinion: fans of other teams should be welcome

ron mexico : 7/22/2019 11:55 am
I see guys chased away solely because they root for another team. They don't troll or insult anyone just share their opinions.

I appreciate different viewpoints and I think as long as they are respectful they should be free to post here.

I'm sure this will get me called a dupe/troll
There is a big difference between adding to the conversation

And simply trolling because you have no life. FanoftheJets comes on here and will take any opportunity to troll the board, same with aceinthehouse and this fanatic II guy.

You mean on this site? If the fan of the other team isn't acting like a dick, they usually don't get much grief other than ribbing.

See EagleFanDan, who for years even donated financially to the site.

It depends on the poster.

We used to have an Eagles fan (EFD?) who posted here and was mostly objective and just looking to talk football.

Then, we had turds like JoeD1 who couldn't talk enough about the 2011 Eagles dream team this time of the year, and then was nowhere to be found when it was the Giants hoisting the Lombardi.

Nine-ster posts here quite a bit and doesn't get that much grief.

Posters like aceinthehouse are dipshits who deserve to be driven away from the site because their posts are garbage.
I just question  
Pete in MD : 7/22/2019 12:00 pm : link
their motivation. Personally, I would never go to a rival team's message board just to "talk football."
whats wrong with this post that Fatman needed to call fanatic a troll?  
ron mexico : 7/22/2019 12:01 pm : link

Total non story
fanatic II : 12:38 am : link : reply
This is coming from the national media. No local journalist has corroborated the story.


Why..
FatMan in Charlotte : 8:42 am : link : reply
do we have fans from the Redskins, Cowboys and Jets trolling this place?

Newsflash... Fatman doesn't discriminate. He's a dick to everyone.
fanatic II  
giants#1 : 7/22/2019 12:05 pm : link
isn't a dipshit troll like some others. He's at least knowledgeable, albeit a massive Cowboy homer, and doesn't incite others.
They're...

Riddle me this Batman.

If Dallas has not won a championship and only won 3 playoff games in the last 23 years, how can Dallas have front running, bandwagon fans?


Because their fans are among the worst in all of sports? Perfect example is you coming on to a rival teams message board to troll.
LOL..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 7/22/2019 12:06 pm : link
the passive-aggressive irony is off the charts here!!

Didn't you just post this crap today:

Quote:
if you have something to say, be a man and say it

I only see me and Hitdog not taking the company line here. What do we have in common?


So, you post a callout thread in the purposes of calling me out?

At least as Eric said I wear my Dickitude proudly. I'm thinking of having shirts made up and leaking to OBJ's Twitter universe!!
Look up

I mentioned you directly. Not hiding the fact that this is about you and posters like you.

What exactly is wrong with what I said? You mention in the OP that rival fans should be able to come on here and talk football. If you look at Fanatic II posting history on here, he will only talk on Cowboys threads and most of his posts are how great the Cowboys. If he was unbiased in his "opinions" I am sure he would get some real discussion going.

Of couse he is going to be active on cowboys threads  
ron mexico : 7/22/2019 12:17 pm : link
His only posts today are calling the story in question fabricated and making a (rather good actually) rebuff about bandwagon cowboy fans.

I would call either post trolling in any way shape or from but he got called that twice.

Not that this is a federal crime in any way shape or form, but I think any forum like this benefits from a diversity of viewpoints and opinion. I'm all for a good internet ribbing, but make it for something more deserving than just rooting for another team.
I'll admit

not familiar with aceinthehole

I'm not saying trolls dont exist, just saying being a fan of another team doesn't automatically make you one

Fan of the Jets seems like a normal poster but seems to get called a troll on here pretty often.

Like I said, just one guys opinion/maxing out my contrarian takes for the day.

Being a fan of another team automatically makes you suspect. You may not like that, but it's true. For some people, just being here, on a Giants board, as a fan of another team is enough to raise a red flag. It's territoriality, and it's real. It may not apply to you, personally, but it certainly does to many others. Even if someone like fanofthejets or fanatic II is posting without any snark or overt disrespect, the mere fact that they're here is enough to set some folks off, because the question of exactly why they're here is never really answered, and the inference is that they're here to assert the superiority of their team over ours. Even if that's done politely, it's still enough to make them unwelcome. We do enough self-flagellation around here. Do we really need to bring in outsiders to help us with it?
Eric - that was one of your better ones  
Dave on the UWS : 7/22/2019 1:49 pm : link
AND accurate. Several guys here as a matter of fact, are dicks but they manage to do it without excessive name calling. That’s an art form.

aceinthehouse : 7/23/2019 11:23 am : link
My brother is actually a Giants fan. We actually talk about football & what our teams can do to improve.

We also know a great deal about football history, so we have total respect for each other, our beloved teams & the sport all together in general.

We also played organized football, when we were younger. I myself, used to coach as well.

I probably know more about the N.Y. Giants organization & history, than 90% of this message board members.

And I'm a Redskins fan.

I'm not a troll, however.

I'm more of a history buff, but I do know how to get under your skin. Lol

If I upset you too much, I apologize.
But it wouldn't be any fun, if there were no rivalries & the race to win the NFC East.
