Every Patriots fan is a white supremacist since they're actively supporting a white supremacists organization

Still not as bad as the "I like the super bowl for the commercials" types, though the fact at least most of them are also white supremacists is a factor in why they're terrible

At least they're honest about the fact that the superbowl is basically a giant commercial. I think the game would be like 2 and a half hours at the most if there wasn't a commercial break every 5 minutes.

The game was terrible but it had a lot of one of my favorite little things in football: punters get extremely hyped up about their punts.

I can't believe Maroon 5 was the most entertaining part of the super bowl. They weren't good by any stretch of the imagination, but we laughed more and talked more about their terrible performance than we did about the entire game. Watching the "highlights" of the game on ESPN was pretty great too. Two incomplete passes, a missed field goal, and a 2 yard run.

Olives are like cilantro. You're not in control of your sense of taste. I don't like eating them, but strangely the oil is fine.

I'm in the same boat. I despise olives. They taste awful to me and it overpowers everything else if they're on a sandwich or something but boy howdy can I go through some olive oil. I swear everything I cook involves olive oil somehow at this point.

I hope none of the cilantro or olive haters have children. It’s immoral to pass on those genes.

It’s an exaggeration used almost exclusively by morons shouting nonsense, often at people who aren’t trying to argue back, is the point.

See: Ben Shapiro DESTROYS marxist professor, Jake the rear end in a top hat DESTROYS round-earthers, Dick Dorkins DESTROYS fundie

A video of someone DESTROYING in an argument is inevitably a total self own

The worst part of those "destroyers" like shapiro, crowder, jordan peterson etc is their whiny voices. It makes it hard to take anything they say seriously, even if they weren't spouting bullshit. Talking over someone and saying "let me finish, I didn't interrupt you when it was your turn (they totally did)" over and over isn't a debate, it's making a speech and when people upload it to youtube with the "DESTROYS" label it's their stupid way of saying "they said the thing I agree with".

But the worst part is still their voices and general smug demeanor. Tyson is the only internet favorite I can think of that doesn't have an annoying voice, but his smugness is so strong I think he's almost as bad.

Jon Stewart had a great segment at the end of his Daily Show run where he highlighted all the times he's EVISCERATED or OBLITERATED [insert conservative here] and how absolutely nothing changed and the world got worse. Of course most of his audience and his proteges took nothing from that and late night TV is now dominated by lib clapback porn as the world slides into oblivion.

One of the big snags is that the news cycle is just so constant and so fast that everything and everybody is reduced to a few words in a sound bite. Words don't change anything; actions do but instead it's just "oh wow, this guy said this sentence and now I hate him, look at how awesome I am! Look how many times I liked Facebook pages about how bad my opponents are!"

thgis just in an entire country is white supremacist

the only way to combat it is to go on twitter and post "Sigh, another day in the orange man's CUNTry...:(" whats he gonna do, arrest you? he can't do that unless you're in england

my opinion is that i hate stupid articles like "like it or not these guys' big following are insert group of horrible people" because its just saying "Hey you guys, why are your fans such horrible people? Why aren't you doing something about that?" as if they can control who does and doesn't follow them, like they're a twitter page. then again when you have the power to effectively call out anything ever and say "THESE GUYS LIKE YOU", you make the group you accuse of following the person/corporation/whatever, start following them! The horrible people follow the accused because they feel like they're totally owning their enemies, and any writer can get away with this as long as the person or team or whatever you're accusing is a really big target. The part I hate the most is that the writers will always keep milking the same story for months and months because idiots will treat it like it's a new argument.

The only way they aren't garbage is if they have something interesting to add to it, like legal eagle and the british doctor guy. If it's just a random "youtube personality" watching it, why the hell should I care what they think about it? It would be like giving your neighbor a movie and watch them watching it.

Because theyre one of the best ways to boost the original video in the algorithm, these garbage scum "content creators" actually get their asses kissed and make even more money by people who want their video featured.

you would have to be an absolute moron to kick the star off of your team over something as little as "supports the president" or "he didn't kneel when the other guys did", also no, you absolutely can not control what kind of fanbase you have, because the one you get is the one you're gonna have until you die (see: andrew hussie) You can tell all of your supporters to piss off, but in losing all of your fans you would gain no new fans because it wouldn't be enough to placate the people that hated you. (example: battlefield V. the manchildren did not buy the game, and everyone else that isn't a child about the issue didn't buy the game because they didn't care about it) That is why nobody plays to the crowd they don't have unless they are so up their own rear end that they think they can pull it off (spoilers: nobody ever pulls it off)

Bandwagon fans aren't as bad a thing as people act like they are. I used to be one of those "you aren't from pittsburgh, you're not a REAL steelers/penguins fan" but now I don't really care.

Sports PHUO: fold CFL and NFL together a la NHL.* I think the two leagues have slightly different rules but most fans probably don’t know or care.**

*And NBA and MLB too technically. At least in Ontario the Raptors and Jays get way more coverage then any podunk canuck team for those sports

**this one american super football nerd guy I know insists CFL is the pure true tactical version of the sport so use their rules, no one but him will care.
