People say pre-season banter is normal. Rivalry between top teams is normal.
But who is it that draws the line? What would be offensive, and what would be a joke? Who is it that says enough is enough?
You all can talk all you want, for it's the internet, just that soft isn't too much on the whole freedom of speech thing. Maybe after typing out something to put something or someone down, you feel better, you feel more secured, or maybe you won't. Maybe you're doing it out of being bored, I wouldn't know as well.
I've read a few posts here and there, if fgl can use words such as pathetic, and so much more against liverpool, I find it funny how he over-reacts when he gets called lame, different thresholds maybe? It is but just one example. Would we be stoned and get chased by an angry mob if we were to do the same to other threads?
Why did you support this or that particular club? Is it all in the love of football? Because that club has that oh-so cute guy I'd love to marry? For glory? I'm sure everyone has their reasons so, then again who are we to put others down for supporting the other club? Wouldn't it be prejudice? Bordering on fascism? Did we ever start supporting the club because of the hatred we bear against some other one?
Again you say it is but normal, but I've seen as many personal insults thrown around like on the Jerry Springer show. Maybe not your threshold of tolerance, I presume? What is with the bandwadgon hopping? If one raises a pitch fork, I would join the mob regardless of being right or wrong, because I'll never go wrong where the crowd is?
Maybe you think you are a huge fan of any club, but are you really a fan if all you do is pay for SCV and buy their jerseys? Did you grow up watching the teams with a season ticket you slaved all summer for? Did you hitch hike miles and miles just to catch the away game? Or maybe by simply researching and gathering knowledge alot about the club, putting others down, simply makes you a true fan?
Maybe this wall of text is nothing but gibberish, perhaps I just got up and am half-asleep, very probable. To Liverpool, to the next season, and ultimately, to football, the game we all love.
Peace out'yo.
