I really don't know why they would irritate anyone. If someone isn't educated in a sport, its easier to just ignore them instead of getting mad. If someone decides to start randomly supporting a team, thats up to them. They're allowed.
Technically, we were all bandwagoners at one point.
The fans I really hate are the idiots. The overly obnoxious fans like the Phoenix Coyote fans tonight, for instance.
Lets set the scene:
Your team is playing the Detroit Red Wings in the Quarterfinals. Datsyuk has scored twice, less than 2 minutes apart, setting himself up for a sweet little hattie while making the NHL's goalie poster child, Ilya Bryzgalov, look like a bitch. You're crying into your nachos at 8:23 into the 2nd when Vernon Fiddler mans up for your team and puts one past Jimmy Howard, unassisted.
Is this REALLY the best time to start a "Hoooooooow-aaaaaaaaard" chant?
Your reward for such disrespect? Two more goals from Lidstrom and Stuart bringing the score to 4-1.
Nice work.
Look: I'm not a Red Wings fan in fact, I hate that team. I'm not even a Jimmy Howard fan. I wish he'd choke so we can see some Chris Osgood action up in this bitch and really start letting some good jokes fly.
I am, however, a Sidney Crosby fan. And being a Sidney Crosby fan I can tell you mocking the opposing team is rarely a good idea. When the Pens descend upon the Wachovia or the Verizon Center and the fans start a "Crosby Sucks" chant, I start counting the minutes until Sid gets a point.
Its basically infallible.
Unfortunately, Phoenix, your team does not have a Sidney Crosby. Your team has a Wojtek Wolski. Your bragging rights are extremely limited. Since you seem to be somewhat behind the times on who is acceptable to make fun of, allow me to illustrate:
Hint: its the guy in grey who isn't Sidney Crosby.
Some others:
- Chris Osgood
- Tim Thomas
- The Tampa Bay triumvirate of Stamkos, St Louis and Lecavelier
- Sean Avery
- The Washington Capitals
- The Philadelphia Flyers
Since Jimmy Howard doesn't fall under any of the above mentioned categories, I'm sorry to be the one to tell you that your sense of humor sucks and its only fitting that Ilya's been scored on two more times just since I started writing this entry bringing the score to 6-1.
What's that hacking sound I hear? Could it be the Phoenix Coyotes choking on the dick that Lidstrom and the Red Wings are shoving down their throats.
Cliffs Notes: Hey Yotes Fans, don't get overly confident in a team that started off its season by giving away tickets to future games to anyone that showed up on certain nights. Don't act all big and bad when your team has yet to really prove itself. Don't get excited when your GM had to resign as head coach to start making Verizon commercials. Don't forget that you're in a place where ice is manufactured for frozen margaritas. While you're at it, do the NHL a favor and don't forget about your team tomorrow. Keep in mind that the rest of the hockey fans in the US and Canada don't think you should even have a team.
Joke's on you, fools.
