My wife and I often get into debates about whether or not sports fans are idiots. I argue that some are, but most aren’t. Unfortunately, last night I had the misfortune of running into that ONE sports fan that gives my wife that impression.
I knew would be a tough night to go out, being in the Philadelphia area and a lot of drunks would be coming out to watch the Sixers game together. With that in mind I went to this one hangout that was a rather semi-classy bar/restaurant, and NOT a “sports” bar.
I correctly figured it would be a small crowd, and while they would have a rooting interest, it would be an atmosphere where I could enjoy the game in relative comfort and quiet, and still have a conversation with my wife and other patrons. It was the perfect type of place where you can expect both a little fun, but some civility as well.
Lo and behold at 8:55, five minutes before game time, this MORON strolls in, and as soon as the game starts, he starts YELLING at the top of his lungs AT EVERY SINGLE FUCKING PLAY!!!
I mean, it was one minute into the game, the Lakers were winning 1-0, and this guy is already YELLING??? Doesn’t a basketball game go on for like . . . .I don’t know . . 48 minutes???
Soo o o o . . instead of enjoying the game, my beer, and my wings, I was forced to talk to my wife over this ASSHOLE interrupting my EVERY sentence with a “COME ON REF!!!” “I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU MISSED THAT SHOT!!!” and of course the ALWAYS classy comment, “FUCK!!!”.
MEMO TO SAID ASS CLOWN:
- PJ Whelihans is a restaurant, and NOT a SPORTS BAR. The next time you have a compulsion to act like a total obnoxious, loud A-hole,
a) Go to a sports bar, like Rookies or the Sky Boxx, which I’m sure is full of obnoxious losers like you. Maybe you and others of your ilk can all bellow at that 12 foot wide TV screen in unison like a pack of wolves!!!
or
b) Stay home and disturb your fellow white trash neighbors at your trailer park;
or
c) Buy a ticket to said game, and holler all you want! Oh, that’s right. Since you go out and get drunk every night, and talk to TV screens and waste all of your money on beer and show up hungover for work every morning, and can’t hold on to a job, you can’t AFFORD a ticket to the game.

Basketball is a long game. It has 4 quarters. The broadcast goes on for three hours. If your gonna yell, *WHY NOT SAVE IT FOR THE END OF THE GAME??? * I do not care if the Lakers are up 1-0 thirty seconds into the game. It’s too early to get excited about ANYTHING. It’s a long game. Somehow, I think the Sixers will be able to dig themselves out of that 1-0 hole WITHOUT YOUR HELP. And when you consider that 185 more total points were scored by the end of the night, I guess that 1-0 in the long run didn’t mean much, now did it? And it certainly did not mean much when the Sixers lost 100-86. Guess you wasted all that carbon dioxide for nothing, huh, genius???

Speaking of which, why bother trying at all? In case you didn’t notice, the game is taking place ON A TV SCREEN, and you are NOT physically at the game.
THEREFORE, I offer you this insight . . . the players and the referees CANNOT HEAR YOU. Unless, however you believe you have physic powers, and SOMEHOW, by all the racket you are making, you will be able to WILL your team to win.
Trouble with that idea is you appear to have such limited brain capacity that I doubt this is the case- and the final score proves it!
- Yes, many other patrons and I came out specifically to see the game. And yes, like you, we were there to root for the home team. But rooting does NOT necessarily entail SCREAMING CURSE WORDS AT THE TV SCREEN LIKE A MORON FOR THREE STRAIGHT HOURS IN A RESTAURANT.
Again, if everyone in that bar last night wanted to hear idiots like you having a vapor lock every time Allen Iverson missed a three point shot, they would have GONE SOMEWHERE ELSE!!! Like a mental institution, for instance. Or a prison.
No doubt had the game been close, with minutes to go, when it really matters, I would have been up there by the TV screen cheering with you.
Well, maybe I would choose to stand next to someone else, but I would be cheering nonetheless.
But unlike you I would be able to do it since I would have reserved my lung power!!!
I hope that clears things up. And, even though I am a 76ers fan too, it’s retarded losers like you that must somehow call attention to themselves that makes me glad the Lakers crushed your precious team last night!
In conclusion, I implore you, I BEG YOU:
SHUT-THE-HELL-UP!!!
