Complaining Sport Fans

Recently I have grown tired of all the complaining that goes on in the sports world, and I'm not talking about the players or the coaches griping about how the referees blew a call late in the fourth quarter that cost them the game. I'm not talking about players complaining that they aren't making enough money, or that they aren't receiving enough respect, or how athletes are under the public microscope. In fact, what I've grown tired of is independent of players, coaches, or front office executives. I have grown tired of the complaining that is heard everyday from the fans. Some fans can complain all they want, others just need to keep quiet.

One fan base in particular, the Boston area sport fans. They have won 2 of the last 4 World Series, 3 of the last 7 Super Bowls, and the Celtics are the NBA champs. Not forgetting to mention that the Bruin's made the playoffs, and the city even had a top 3 draft pick in last years NFL draft when Atlanta took Matt Ryan. When your area sport teams have been that successful in the past decade, no complaining, or"woe is me" attitudes. They lose their star quarterback, and yes the season is lost, but they have had more than their share of success recently. I don't want to hear that the play Brady got hurt on was dirty, and I don't want to hear blame being placed on a missed block. It happened so deal with it.

The Ironic thing about this post is that I'm complaining about complaining, but earlier when I mentioned that some fan bases have a right to complain... well I'm one of them. I'm a fan of the Seattle area teams. The Seahawks (Sometimes known as the Seachickens), and the Mariners (Sometimes known as being just plain pathetic). If I were to begin writing about the horrible things that I have gone through, then I would start to sound like I just lost the love of my life. I say this because I remember everything that has gone wrong, and I so desparately want things to be the way it should be.

One more thing, New York Football Giant fans, I don't want to hear a peep for the rest of my life, you pulled off the biggest upset in Football history, and destroyed a perfect season.

Worse, or perhaps even with Boston fans, is SEC fans.

Not just SEC, specifically Tennesee and Florida fans
