[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 886093, member: 282"] Over the past week, and probably longer, we’ve had a rash of indirect and direct questioning of character, intellect, or fanhood. This post is one of those indirect fanhood denigrations. What we want is a focus on the content of the posts, without name-calling, including “boomer” or “woke” or “zoomer” or “fake fan”. Some of the people being negative have consistently watched games since Pepper Rodgers or earlier. If you kept watching through Rodgers, most of Curry (there was one good year in there), and Lewis, you’re a die-hard fan. You might be a really NEGATIVE die-hard fan, but you’re a die-hard fan. Fan negativism does hurt Georgia Tech sports. It makes it less fun to be in the stands when somebody is grumping around you all the time. Fan negativism is a constant of Atlanta Sports, but GT seems to have it worse. The players hear it, the other fans hear it, our coaches hear it, and coaches at other schools hear it and that affects how much they want to come here. I’m sure it hurts the morale at the AA. Other fan bases get upset when they’re losing. Philly is no fun when you aren’t winning, and Boston definitely isn’t. No one expects everyone to be pollyannas when we’re going through a bunch of rough years like we are. People need to vent. Constant whining is no fun for people though. Just think of this—is there a person at work who does nothing but complain? Who wants to talk with them? Who enjoys talking with them? [B][I]The answer isn’t calling out other fans fanhood, though.
