What If I Told You Hating Another Team Was More Fun Than Loving Your Own? On This 30 for 30 - SKOL or SOL. (self.SubredditDrama)

For those that dont know, the Minnesota Vikings are an NFL Football team in the NFC North division. One of 8 division in the NFL. The last few years the NFC North has become a source of rather frequent infighting among fans of the 4 teams often manifesting itself in game threads on /r/NFL.

The Green Bay Packers(My Team in full disclosure) have been the dominant team in the division for about 20 years. This has created an attitude among a lot of fans of the other three teams of "anyone but the Packers" or "Fuck The Packers." This is where our story picks up.

Last season, the Vikings had a very good year and won the division for the first time in awhile beating the Packers in the final game of the season. While it didn't translate into post season success, it was a feather in their cap and a source of pride for a lot of fans to not only win the division, but to do it beating their hated rival. This season was full of expectations and hope. That hope was quickly extinguished after some devastating injuries and questionable front office decisions left the Vikings out of the playoffs and the Packers once again on top of the division.

With very little to discuss about their team, the Vikings team sub was filled with posts about the Packers and how much everyone hated the team from Wisconsin. But some Viking fans are tired of the attitude and want to focus on discussing their own team instead of their rival. This did not go over well.

No. Fuck You.

I did nazi that coming

The only things I hate worse than the Packers are whiny dudes on the internet who try to tell others how to behave.

What has also been interesting to follow is that in both /r/ChiBears and /r/detroitlions posts voicing the same opinion have been on the front page in the past day and the reactions have been almost exactly opposite of that of /r/minnesotavikings.

Viking fans are voice their displeasure with the current state of the Vikings sub in the other teams subs

Another angle from the Lions sub

While the Lions and Bears subs want to tone down the attitude and keep the focus on their own team. The Vikings sub is embracing it. There have been little slapfights among the fan base in several threads, and is becoming a pretty solid source of popcorn.

This is also my first submission, Ive been careful with the NP links but If I missed something let me know so I can correct it.

Loving a team gives you a 1-32 chance of being happy with the Super Bowl results. Hating al other teams gives you a 31-32 chance of being happy with the Super Bowl results. Simple math says hating results in more happiness.

Hating al other teams gives you a 31-32 chance of being happy with the Super Bowl results.

Assuming al=all, wouldn't there be a 100% chance that some of the teams you hate lost. You aren't unhappy when the team you don't hate wins.

So, a few things:

!. Nice write-up. the Vikings sub is a shithole most of the time, so I avoid it even as a fan of the team.
2. Vikings fans are looking to vent, and there are only so many times you can burn a picture of T.J Clemmings in effigy. 3. The OP for the Vikings thread is delusional, don't go to a team specific subreddit if you are looking for something beyond homers and karma whoring. 4. Fuck The Packers ; )

  1. But on a more serious note, fuck Gary Anderson, and I hope T.J. Clemmings never looks at a football field ever again. What he did this year should be considered an accomplice to assault

What'd Clemmings do?

That guy is a pretty active in /r/nfl and was what initially caught my eye for this post.

Every time I've read a comment of his, I imagine his face turning cherry red and smoke coming out his ears.

This has been happening in the AFC North subs somewhat too in regards to posts about the Steelers (mostly the Bengals sub but I don't look at the others that much). And I'm sure all the AFC East subs are super bitter at the Patriots right now. Rivalries and hate don't just die down once you're not playing anymore I don't get what's hard to understand about that.

I'm usually not one for trash talking or hating on fans of other teams, but this is delicious.

On a side note, it seems like most of the football-related threads that have appeared here have involved the Packers.

I am a patriots fan.

Packers fan, welcome to what patriots fans have had for two decades. Except, 3 teams hate you. 31 hate the patriots

[–]superfeds[S] 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (6子コメント)

I think it varies some. The Pats have had a dynasty going for so long its hard root for them and easy to root against them.

I have nothing but respect for the organization. When the Pats were at Lambeau a couple years ago the respect Belichick expressed for the Packers and their history left me with warm fuzzy feelings for the team.

Brady is a good man and a good player. People talk shit, he wishes them the best and says how they are great.

BB gets shit on a lot. But he sticks it to goodell and all the corporate shilling, like all the fans want coaches to do.

Kraft gets ignored but he paid for his stadium without the city helping him, and he puts millions into the city around him.

And people still shit on the team. I don't get it

The more I read about the team the more I don't mind them. I think people's main complaints are how noncompetitive they make the AFC and how obnoxious SOME of their fans are. The persecution complexes I've seen on some users in /r/NFL are ridiculous. If this is how dramatic they get when the team goes 14-2 they better jump off the bandwagon when BB retires.

[–]Eran-of-ArcadiaCheesehead 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

My only thing is that I don't like dynasties, except for my own team. Obviously I want us to win all the titles, but if we aren't, I want everyone to get a chance rather than one team winning over and over again. Yes I know this makes me a hypocrite. I don't care.

But I was rooting for you against the Seahawks in XLIX, so nice work there. And overall the Patriots are a good organization. I don't dislike them the way I do, say, the Cowboys.

I mean they are one of the most dominant teams in their sports in history. It's hard to root for them as a non fan. It would be like rooting for the Empire at the end of Episode 5.

This is why I don't get into sports (even things like e-sports, and I'm a huge gaming nerd). Jingoism annoys me and I honestly, legit get the impression people follow sports teams just so they can place this weird sense of self-worth in someone else's accomplishments, or so they have an excuse to rage on people who disagree with them because they can't control their passions and need an outlet.
