People around here are hardcore steelers fans and it really pisses me off because they know every little thing about the steelers but can't name 5 other players in the whole NFL, even former Steelers, Santonio Holmes for example, when he caught that pass in the super bowl he was everybody's hero and my family probably knew everything about him, but I'd be willing to bet a million bucks that no one in my family would know who he plays for now, it's not the Steelers so who cares? that's their mentality and I never wanted to be a part of that. If that's considered being a fraud then whatever I'm a fraud.

The Packers and the Sixers are my favorite teams, I liked the packers because my family/friends who were Steelers fans and it started to get on my nerves because all they ever talked about was the Steelers, so I picked the team that had the same colors as my school, that one's fine right? And as for the sixers I honestly don't remember cus I was like REALLY young when I started liking basketball but I'm pretty sure it's just because they were the only team in my state so that's fine too right?

At least you're not a Dallas Mavericks fan living in CT. I can't remember if I'm considered a fraud for that.

sometimes i wish i was a sports fraud.... itd make it easier to deal when my team is 10-all at half time yet ends up losing the game without scoring any points in the second half... did they even bother to come out from the dressing rooms after the break???? *shrugs* dont look like it.
Now what we have to understand is that this comes from an extremely clever and skillful program, that has manipulated us into ways of thinking that may be contrary to our own interests, but beneficial to the interests of the powers that be... beneficial to the interests of those who control our lives, and tax us until we have hardly a penny left to spend, take our money, and plough it into the creation of huge, armed bureaucracies, which exist to oppress us. We live in a society today where we may not make decisions, to explore our own consciousness. If I am not sovereign over my own consciousness, then I am sovereign over nothing.

theoretically, would you choose the cowboys over the eagles? a true fan should never pick an arch rival over their team
