Friday Five: Ranking the most insufferable college football fans best at being 'The Worst'

4. Your Bias Fan: It is not the Your Bias Fan's -- called this because they don't know the difference between Your and You're, nor do they realized bias is a noun, and biased is the adjective -- fault they're this way. It's a natural byproduct of the sport itself. College football didn't become the national sport it is until recent decades thanks to television. For a long time, the only programs any college football fan cared about was their own as well as their rivals. Media coverage of their teams was local. Anytime you get local media coverage, there's going to be some bias toward the local team. When it comes to radio or television broadcasts, they're almost exclusively directed to the local fans because why wouldn't they be?

So imagine this fan goes from homer-rific coverage of their favorite team to their team all of a sudden being on a national broadcast. Suddenly, the other team is no longer the enemy. The announcer even dares to sound excited when the other team does something well! This announcer is clearly bias! The announcer hates their team! Why else would he not be disgusted that they just scored? The announcer has spent the entire game talking about the other team, and has not even once mentioned my team! Everyone is out to get us! This is not just limited to announcers, but national media members and radio hosts as well. Perhaps we're a generation away from fans realizing what's going on, but it's still being passed down genetically. It could be a while before Your Bias Fan becomes a relic.

Do the wokebots at Deadspin count as sports journalists? Their latest EIC left in a huff after her new corporate overlords demanded that her writers "stick to sports". Will be interesting to see where they go from here.

And now we have our answer: Deadspin as we have known it is dead.

The only time I ever visited that shit site was when someone would send me Why The Bengals Suck [insert year]. Even those became bland. They all said something about Cincinnati style chili, Marvin Lewis, and Northern Kentucky. The first time was funny. Doing the same BS every year was lazy. Fuck 'em.
