Tough Times Reveal Character of 'fans'
 

Some of you remind me of Atlanta or Dallas fans.

Just sayin'

Unless you can qualify for the NFL and replace them... and help the Saints win another Super Bowl Ring, I'd suggest many of you just continue to get fat on your couch and quit doggin' on your own team.

Many of you aren't fans... from the threads and posts I've read here today.

Sad. Look up the word loyalty, yuppie brat nation of fake fans.

To those of you who remain loyal, you know who you are. I salute your honor.

Re: Tough Times Reveal Character of 'fans'

And so it begins...

Re: Tough Times Reveal Character of 'fans'
 

There's "fan", then there's "fanboy", then there's "bandwagon fan".

Black and Gold Forever!

Re: Tough Times Reveal Character of 'fans'
 

I don't see the point why fans can't call out their team when they have been hyped up all off season...

People can say what they will..

I support the team but I have no issues with anyone calling out the team when they are playing well below expectations and ability

Which is why I completed supported the fans in the Superdome when they started booing, if I paid my hard earned money on a season ticket and had to sit through those types of performances, then I'd be pretty p***ed off too

Not going to abandon the team at all, but they deserve the criticism they have been getting

Re: Tough Times Reveal Character of 'fans'
 

Def: Fan (fanatic): marked by excessive enthusiasm and often intense uncritical devotion <they're fanatic about sports>
Comparison to Atlanta or Dallas Fans now that's cold!

Re: Tough Times Reveal Character of 'fans'
 

If I purchase a product and it fails to perform up to advertised specs, I have a right to complain. It doesn't mean I want to trade it in. I'm just not totally satified.

The Saints aren't free. Even if you don't buy a ticket to the game you pay, period.

Most important, if you ask any player on the team they would tell you that the fans have a right to complain this year. So, quite complaining about the complaining.

Re: Tough Times Reveal Character of 'fans'
 

We've been losing and I don't see how debating why the supposed,"best roster in Saints history!" is lucky to be 2-3. I've personally questioned Brees recent performances and JG too. Of course I think we're gonna turn it around and win it all. WHODAT!

Re: Tough Times Reveal Character of 'fans'
 

OMG, shut up with this crap

Re: Tough Times Reveal Character of 'fans'
 

Opinions are like A-holes. Some are exactly like them.

Re: Tough Times Reveal Character of 'fans'
 

*yawn*
I regret reading this thread

Re: Tough Times Reveal Character of 'fans'
 

One thing more annoying than people crying about the saints losing is:

People crying about people crying...

Re: Tough Times Reveal Character of 'fans'
 

Stupidest thing I have ever heard.

Is anybody challenging me? :bugeyes:

You obviously haven't read many of Choup's posts.

Re: Tough Times Reveal Character of 'fans'
 

I hate when people criticize other peoples fan status....how the hell can you judge how much of a fan I am just because some of the s**t I say or post? I b**ch about the Saints just like I b**ch about my wife and I love them both. Only difference is my wife is in arms reach when she pisses me off...

Re: Tough Times Reveal Character of 'fans'
 

This thread is :bs:.

Re: Tough Times Reveal Character of 'fans'
 

To the original poster: If you think people are getting fat on their couches because they have an opinion on the team, then you are a hypocrite. You just gave us your opinion. I can't even say I respectfully disagree with you. I can't respect you at all. Anybody here jumping off the wagon? Do you see any "let's go falcons" threads? No, you don't.

If you want people to blow sunshine up your butt all day long, go find some hippies. Between myself, and the many Saints fans I associate with on a daily basis, we sure aren't spending our days on the couch. We work all week, many of us (myself included) are parents, and we have just one day (two if you follow college football) a week that we look forward to something to take our minds off of everything else. That makes it very disappointing when the team loses. And we have the right to voice our displeasure, so long as we're not losing our minds over it and just quitting.

If fans don't show up, you hear players and coaches all the time calling them out. That's right, they call out the people that supply the billions of dollars owners rake in to pay these huge contracts to people who don't work any harder than the rest of us. They just happen to do something that is popular. That's the difference between them and us.

Yet they can complain, but we can't? I don't think so, pal.

Re: Tough Times Reveal Character of 'fans'
 

Good response burningmetal, when it's all said and done like all Professional Sports it's all about the money. Each franchise is a business
making lot's of dollars as the end result. I'm sure Drew Brees loves New Orleans but he is getting paid top dollar to be here. I do beleive the intention's of this forum is to let the Fans voice their opinions good and bad. Not living in New Orleans the forum has been a great provider of information about the Saints that I would never see. And despite the occasional Troll pretty much everyone here is a dyed in the wool Who Dat. The original poster did get a few folks here fired up though which may have been intentional.

There's a coup de' etat!!! Ruuuun!!!

Re: Tough Times Reveal Character of 'fans'
 

First of all I understand people being disappointed right now. Who isn't? I sure as hell am. I also understand some getting upset about people getting upset. Its a turbulent time right now. Its not like 2012 when we could blame it on the coach being gone. Or the 70's, 80's or 90's when we didn't expect anything really great (aside from a few seasons).

Fans are used to winning and want to see a better product from the team. Others are getting mad because of the opinions voiced here and are defending the team in the name of honorable fandom.

I can say this: the only thing that makes a Failcon fan is complete blasphemy and fairweather fandom. I don't think anyone here falls into that category.

If you're unsure about what you post, then think what the Failcon fans are saying about us after its posted. No need to give them ammunition. We certainly don't want it to appear that there's some kind of coup.

Re: Tough Times Reveal Character of 'fans'
 

What a load of junk.

Some people let off steam and whinge, just like you are. It is human. Some people insist, 'everything is ok!' , while others get anxious, sound off and yell out 'screw this crap!'

A lot of it is talk, like guys sounding of in a bar, full of sound and fury, signifying NOTHING.


If they yell that out for 10 years, so what? They are still there, hanging in.

If they jump ship, sure they are fair weather fans, but there is nothing wrong with a cry of pain, or a moan of disappointment and anxiety, however confronting and painful you may find it.

Tbh, much fan infighting seems poorly akin to accusing someone of not being a patriot because they question their government - and that is a load of crap.

The "Choup-ster "... "Choup-a-rama" ... hittin' the board like "Choup-El Nino" ... was wondering where you was at ... conspiracy theories were forming, :lol:.

I get a kick out of the guy but no one starts a fire and runs like Choup.

Re: Tough Times Reveal Character of 'fans'
 

His posts do serve a purpose. Every time I read one I thank God my dad didn't marry his sister.

Re: Tough Times Reveal Character of 'fans'
 

mission accomplished i guess. everyone is fired up baby

Re: Tough Times Reveal Character of 'fans'
 

are they related?

Re: Tough Times Reveal Character of 'fans'
 

I'm thinking Choupique is the real Unknown Who Dat !

Re: Tough Times Reveal Character of 'fans'
 

No doubt the only voice of reason around here... Except me, Halo Exxcalibur and Smashmouth. :shock:

Re: Tough Times Reveal Character of 'fans'
 

You can always count on Chopique to raise himself above everyone else and to generally create negative feelings.

Re: Tough Times Reveal Character of 'fans'
 

On behalf of all members of Black and Gold, the best fan site of all time (and space), I resent the implication that any of us have character, and will defend vigorously against that complaint.

Re: Tough Times Reveal Character of 'fans'
 

i never said i cared about a fair weather fan opinion.

quit assuming things. that only proves your character... of which most of you admittedly have very little. at least you're somewhat honest.

i said there are fair weather fans and they suck as much as dallas fans or atlanta fans.... i never really alluded to giving a rats(_!_) about their opinions.

fair weather fans are cowards. they wouldn't be a good choice in a foxhole.

the greatest generation has no character. not all of us are yuppies.
just because you've helped America go down the tubes doesn't mean we're all that stupid.

you're likely the nitwits who reelected bush or obama, then blame everyone else. newsflash, many of us never gave a shat what you think, say or do.

Re: Tough Times Reveal Character of 'fans'
 

Choup, ya can't say that most of everyone here has very little character man. Cmon settle down. You kind of attacked people in your original post, you shouldn't be surprised by retaliation.

Everyone calm down!

On a side note, will someone please get me out of Oregon!!!! Aaaggghhhh! 4 days is too long!!!
