How about sword-carrying, neckbeards or fedoras?
So you morons are crying like little baby kittens about the wrong thing. Do you have any idea how stupid you sound? Like a three year old pissed off because he can't drink the yummy looking bleach mommy keeps under the sink. Maybe learn what you're talking about before you start crying, boys.
Very often, they're the boys who got picked last for teams, if they got picked at all. Their mothers are often shrews who make their fathers look like little boys.
Your comment show you are clearly one of these people. But I like you. You are a nice person. I wish for you all the happiness in the world. Your team is the best team ever to play sports. You know more about football than anyone I've ever known. In fact, wherever you go, you are the smartest guy in the room. I respect and admire your mental acuity.
When your team wins, it's because you are the greatest fan who ever lived. You clearly make them win. And when they win, I'm sure they send you money or gifts or something, or at least a shout on on their social site. They're probably going to invite you to hang out with them at the Super Bowl parade.
And when they lose, it's because of the refs. Only you can see that because you're so superior to the rest of us.
A “Brat” if they’re children. Lamentably, far too many adults are afflicted with this irreversible condition.
