Over the years the Ravens fans have gotten more and more annoying and have created a hatred in me that I only had towards the NFC East teams and the Colts. It's a shame that they both made the playoffs and I wish there were some way that both could lose. There is always next week I suppose.
One thing that I find funny is that my uncle who is a Redskins fan also still has animosity towards John Elway for not going to the Colts in 1983.

Perfectly sums up my feelings. I actually think that for the year I was living in Baltimore there was a period in which the Ravens jumped the Cowboys and Eagles and became my number one hated team, that's how awful those people are. The Ravens aren't even a real team to me. If you are over the age of, say, 25 and you like the Ravens, that means you either ditched your old team (making you a bad person) or weren't a football fan before like 1996 (in which case why are you jumping around now and acting like you're such a fan? You probably don't even know the rules of football).
But if you dig deep enough, you'll find a similar story. Ravens fans dumped another team (usually the Skins) not in 96 but in 00, just in time for a superbowl run. They are not real fans and I don't respect them. That is all.
