Bears radio station CHEERS Favre's injury on website

[FritzDontBlitz]

Cubs fans are comparable to Packers fans. What if one of our fans interfered with an important game and it cost us? You telling me you wouldn't call for his head?

No. It is a GAME. It isn't worth harm to anyone. I'm not going to be chanting for someone's death over naming a bear Mohammad either. Some people just need to breath in a paper bag for about a week and a half and come back to reality.

Chicago fans are notoriously fickle these days...outside of Cubs fans, but I don't think they are regular fans anymore. Thus the entire Bartman episode. I think Cubs fans EXPECT their team to LOSE. If they get anywhere close to winning, they have no idea how to handle themselves. I'm not sure that can be compared to Packer fans.

I think the fickleness comes from being such a huge city with plenty of transplants. Too many "bandwagon" fans who adopt the hometown team when they are winning. I'm sure there are great Bears fans out there...I just haven't met one.

I wasn't surprised that he wasn't mister popularity. Its not like anyone in Chicago actually tried to kill him. That story could have happened anywhere.

Bartmann was getting death threats after the incident.

Yeah I know.

This is disappointing. Besides being severely mislead and just generally feminine, Chicago tends to have decent, respectful fans. At least in my experience.

Huh?

I've rarely met a respectable, decent Chicago sports fan. The Cubs fans would've publically crucified Bartman on a cross if they had the chance, although I suppose you have to keep your distance from a fan base that hasn't won in 100 years. Bulls fans are among the most smug jackasses in sports. I think many still think Jordan plays for them. Bears fans are intolerable and fair-weather.

If they were decent fans, they wouldn't tolerate shenanagans like this from their radio stations.

I cannot think of a single bears fan that I would consider being a decent fan. Nearly all of them never even acknowledged they were fans until a few years ago when they started to not suck completely. I remember these fat toothless hillbilly bitches actually wearing F--k Brett Favre-Go Bears t-shirts to work and their loser spouses yelling insults at me across the plant just for wearing a Packers hat.

TY !

Seems like a good thread to post this picture:

Are you saying that the pack are a bunch of homos ? Or is it the fans that post this garbage that are homos ? Either way, looks like there are homos in cheesehead land !

Maybe its because I've always held blue collar jobs, 17 years in the steel union and now 8 more in the autoworkers union. The respectful, knowledgable fans of the game tend to be a minority there. What I would usually run into is the "Favre got his ass kicked again I see!" guys who don't even know who Bob Avellini is. Or Bobby Douglass. They might remember Vince Evans. One coworker in particular would always show up dressed head to toe in Bears gear the Friday before a game. If they won he'd show up in more gear on Monday. If they lost, he wouldn't show up at all. One day we were debating Bears vs. Packers, and just out of curiosity I threw out the name of Bobby Douglass: he didn't know him. So I asked if he knew who Waymond (sp) Bryant was: he had no idea. I threw out a few more names, still no clue. So, finally I looked at this guy in his brand new Urlacher jersey and said "you know, its a shame a Packers fan knows your team's history better than you do." He was speechless.

Another guy I used to work with on a two man job would just go on and on about every Packers loss; nevermind the fact that the Bears have barely been .500 overall since Favre took over in Green Bay. He would gleefully remind me of every fumble, every pick, every penalty - over and over until I would have to just start ripping into his ass about how Favre has owned them since he got here. Even now, after I moved on to a new job the guy will still go out of his way to find me after a Packer loss, and I last worked with him in 1999. So, I guess you can say I have been socializing with the shallow end of the gene pool. I believe that ad or promo was created to cater to them and not the more respectful part of Chicago fandom.

Well, sorry to hear that you have to endure that. I guess I don't associate it with "blue collar" type jobs, though I suppose that perspective might be more prevalent in that environment. I worked in factories and for UPS as a college student, and didn't experience the same thing, however, I don't doubt what you say.

I think it's just a state of mind. Plain and simple. Happens in all sports, in all towns, with "just a few" fans. Some have more (Philadelphia, Oakland), some have less (Tampa, GB, Seattle (my experience)), but I think they are everywhere. Not to pick on Justin/Nick, but you see that state of mind displayed occasionally (or at least I think I do). Sometimes, as it did this time, it just gets under my skin.

Good to chat with you Fritz. Lets pray for a fellow "Packer fan" at your workplace.

Looks like there are a lot of takers in Bear land. You one of them, Bearman? Find a happy place?
