Are you a toxic sports fan?

A better word than "toxic" would probably be "delusional". And based on the title of that article, particularly the word "relationship", the author is involved in the same delusion. Because most fans are in a "relationship" with their favorite team in the same sense that Jax is in a "relationship" with Jessica Alba.

I'll hit it eventually

My idea of a toxic fan.

I flew up to Columbus for the BTCCG and drove to Indy with a buddy. The night before the game we went out to dinner and he found out the ESPN crew was sitting next to us. He gets up and goes to the table and in a voice loud enough for most of the restaurant to hear asks "why does ESPN hate Ohio State so much". He then proceeds to loudly debate with the entire table of people for a half hour. You could see the discomfort in the ESPN people. They wanted him gone so they could enjoy their evening.

After the loss the following night he says that he can't go down to workout the next morning because he can't face the MSU fans and their happiness over the win. Funny, he had no problem harassing them earlier while tailgating.

Then he goes to the Orange Bowl and spends half his time texting to me how horrible the Clemson fans were. After the game he texts to me that "Braxton should go pro. I'm so done with him". This is all from a 45 year old man.

I haven't spoken to him since. I just can't stand to be around that much negativity.

What a fucking embarrassment. Honestly, it's people like that which make it so much easier to follow the football team from a distance. Those last few years that I was in Columbus, I literally started to tune it out.

Before the internet...I drove my wife crazy when I was younger yelling at the TV,"Get him out. when someone fumbled or turned the ball over" now I can type a few lines without scaring everyone in the house. Or better yet read someone elses raving..making me better,LOL.

Where did he sit at the Orange Bowl? There was a pretty big jackass OSU fan near my seats during the Orange Bowl who was cursing at Clemson fans who were minors. He finally got escorted out after complaints from the kids' parents. Many OSU fans in the area cheered for the ejection.
