Patriot Helmet Stickers

[SC Skins Fan]

I don't like the Pats, I don't like Tom Brady, I don't like Bill Belicheck, and all that was the case prior to this season. Don't jump on me, I can have opinions if I want. It's not because they win, it's because of their attitudes. I love winners like Manning and Dungy (who doesn't?). I also didn't really like that some teams didn't have the #21 stickers on their helmets this week (and it wasn't just the Pats).

Now, having said all that, of all the teams not to wear it (it's just a sticker after all, what does it affect you if you just leave it on?) the Pats make sense. I can see why they would feel like they should keep the sticker only of their own teammate since no one else was (of course the Broncos kept the #21 along with the sticker honoring their two deceased teammates). I do think, however, that it is a symptom of their 'us against the world' attitude that makes them so standoffish and, ironically, becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. In any case, I actually find some of the comments made in this thread much more disturbing and crass than the fact that the Pats (and some others) didn't continue wearing the #21 sticker. If you want to excoriate someone for not having class then show some yourself.
