I live in Houston and invited a few neighbors to the Texans game last year, one of them showed up wearing a jersey and I immediately told him he was no longer invited, I even offered to buy him another shirt on the way to the game but under no circumstance was I hanging out with someone wearing a jersey, he thought I was crazy, but I was the one paying for the tickets and taking him for free so he didn't exactly complain, I think everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but in no way am I hanging with someone wearing a jersey of any kind, so don't think you are the only one who think jerseys are terrible

I had a Superbowl party last year and there were a couple of 20 year old girls here and they both Had their Rothlestein #7 Jerseys on and paint under their eyes incase the glare of my TV blinded them at some point.
 
I am not a Big Pittsburgh fan even though my location says that I should be. I was on the Cardinals(I was the minority in my house that night) So there was alot of bitterness.
 
All these girls did was boo and cheer and bad mouth me, but they had NO clue who the fuck even played for the Steelers other than "Big" Ben.
 
These are the kinds of people that drive me fucking bananas.
 
Yeah, I called him Rothlestein.

My girlfriend has a Polamalu jersey but she actually knows football.I tested her when we met and she is the one that told me he was roomates with Carson Palmer in college.

I would have thrown those bitches out of my house if I was you.

Well, we are getting a  little uptight here.  I do not do either but if it pleases people to do this I do not see any harm.  Let them have their fun, this may be their only outlet.  You can look down your nose at them, feel sorry for them etc.  Live and let live.  There are many other things to get worked up over.  I really don't like announcers for the game saying "We need to score" etc.  They should know better.  The Georgia announcer that recently retired was the world's worse, I forget his name right now.  But, I could shake my head and endure when I was living in the area.

Any game that I watch with Joe Buck broadcasting I watch on mute. That's how I deal with that.

Speaking of clueless fans that wear jerseys, few years back I was vacationing out in India and at this night club, some Indian guy shows up in a TO 49ers home jersey. I'm like thinking what???!!!
 
Thinking possibly he's an American like myself, I approached the guy and asked him a few questions. The guy is like clueless and hardly spoke any coherent english, let alone know what he's wearing. LOL

some games you need to wear game gear...for example, when I go to bruins/canadiens games, I, and you need to wear your respective teams colors. you dont go to battle without your shit on. its a fact that the crowd, when it get behind a team, has huge psycological factors that can determine the outcome. a sea of black and gold in the garden says something to a habs golie...I do not like the "we" thing but dont really care about it. I can roll with it...my fucked up boss on the other hand cant handle listening to my opinion or the average guy on the radio talk about it because he's an asshole...lighten up.

I agree with the "we" shit.  Unless you work or play for the team, you shouldn't say we.  As far as jerseys, I have no problem with football, hockey, or baseball jerseys.  However, an adult wearing a basketball jersey looks like an idiot.

A lot of blacks like to wear basketball, baseball, and football jerseys as part of their every day attire. The funny thing is they have no rooting interest for the team or player jersey they are wearing. They wear it because the colors and logos are "cool" on the jersey.

My buddy bought that when the Browns drafted him and still wears it at least once every 2 weeks when he is bartending. I give him sh*t for wearing a jersey but still have a little respect for that!
This is the same guy who tried to get a Ray Carruth jersey when he went to a Panthers game a few years ago.

I'll fucking say "we" whenever the fuck I want.  I buy season tickets every year and pay a boatload in food/alcohol expenses each year.  I'm helping pay for all of those million dollar salaries.

Who the fuck gets upset about these things anyway?

Phils - Howard, Rollins or now Cliff Lee

Ravens - Suggs, Reed or Lewis

Flyers - Richards or Briere.  Need to get a Giroux

I doesn't really upset me- just said I dislike the people and/or idea  of wearing them. Don't really think about it except to see what people on here would think.
As far as "we"-can't listen to NFL on sirius when at work.
...And I have many hobbies!

But by far what really pisses me off is fans that when speaking of the team they cheer for, refer to the team as "we". They are not on the team, never have been, and never will be but feel inclined to mention "we" as if their actions have a result on the play on the feild. As a result they bask in the glory of their win or lose as if it reflects something about themselves. I.E.- Yankees fans of the 90's and the Red Sox of the 2000's, what the hell is Red Sox nation and where was it before 2004. That's right they were all losers who were miserable because they hadn't won a series in over 100 years.
Well probably just being a major a-hole.
Let see the negative replies  or positive replies showing I'm not the only a-hole guy who watches sports but can't listen to callers on sports radio.


With you on the Jerseys and the "we" thing...

How many men would be caught dead wearing a WNBA jersey? What does that say about the person wearing one? I say it's kinda  for them to be wearing WNBA jerseys, but thats just me.

 

 

 

 

I love jerseys. I have a bunch of them. I agree with the whole, "putting YOUR name on the back is stupid", but I don't mind people wearing jerseys. I do however dislike the hats that people wear. The "gangster" hats with all the designs on them. I'm not a fan of those. I perfer the original hats/logos.

 

 

As for "we"...I use that when talking about "my" Yankees all the time and find nothing wrong with that. If you have ever bought a ticket or merchandise of that team, why not be able to say "we" when referring to a team. Money that goes towards ticket sales go towards team's payrolls so I guess technically you own a microshare of the team(it sounds stupid, I know, thats just how I view it). But if you can't consider yourself as part of a team, whats the point of being a fan. "Oh yea, my favorite team the Yankees are rolling" kinda sounds lame as opposed to "Hell yea, we're rolling right now". Tons of people do it, but I understand your arguement.

 

 

 

I HATE fans who, when on camera during a National Televised Game, say "Yeaaaaaa...We're #1!!!! Woo-Hoo!!! Yeaaaaa...We're #1" when actually they are 4th in the MAAC and are beating the team in 6th place 21-20. Thats what I don't like. If somebody doesn't find something wrong with that, I'd love to know the explanation.

Wow.  Can't say I've ever given it much thought, but I did notice that during a recent recap of the 1992 Penguins Cup run ib tv, I'd say about 10% of the fans at the Igloo were wearing jerseys.  It's probably more like 80% today.  Not sure why that's the case.  I know when I've been to soccer matches in England, probably half or more of the fans have a jersey of some sort on.  I'll probably wear one of my Phillies jerseys to the Bucs game tonight, come to think of it. 
 
As for "we," I've been throgh way more shit with the Phils than Chase Utley or Ryan Howard ever dreamed of.  I will use "we," "us," and "our" as often as a damn well please.
