New Poster Making People Mad

[SmootSmack]

I wish the biggest problem in my life is whether or not the Redskins lose on Sunday. But it's far from it, it's a fun diversion so why approach it with such negativity.

That's what I'll never understand.

But I have to say I've run across the same thing outside of sports as well. I lurk on some of my favorite band's message boards and it seems like there are always a big chunk of people who rip the band left and right, hate the latest CD, hate the latest tours, etc., and I'm like damn if you hate the music so much why do you listen to them, go to the shows, and buy their CDs?? Where is the joy in ripping what you enjoy?

I imagine football is a diversion for 99% of people that watch it. Making the comment that Washington is not a championship caliber team does not mean that my life is actually affected in any way, whether they win or lose, other than a little more profanity flying around my living room on Sunday during a loss.

And the word negativity is being used a bit too freely. Everyone on this forum shows "negativity" in one way or another, and there's basically two camps. The people that blame the secondary, the defensive front four, the offensive line, and after all of that, they might acknowledge that Brunell is playing inconsistent. Then there's the other side that blame Brunell first, and think everything is related to that. The only person who doesn't show any negativity at all is hess...
