I find it really interesting how sports can turn a normal rational person into a dogone raving maniac. I know people back home in AL who have become permanent enemies over the Iron Bowl rivalry. (We don't have much else down there so people are absolutely rabid about college football.)
I've seen very reserved normally uptight people jump up on furniture and air hump while cracking the imaginary whip. People go the entire year conducting themselves in a Christian manner, would give you the shirt off their backs, then turn into crazed A-holes on Iron Bowl day.
Auburn scores a TD and and you might see sweet Sister Sara Kitchens hollering "IN YO FACE!" spit flying, finger 2 inches from poor ole Miss Hattie Moon's nose.
Alabama kicks a field goal and Brother Hendley who preaches down at the Nazarene church is doing a pretty good moon walk out on the porch. Well okay I admit it, Bama actually MADE some field goals in the BCS game and I hurt myself trying to do the worm on our hardwood floor.
Some of my kin folks, a pair of brothers who shall remain nameless, do not visit each other anymore. Their wives don't allow it. Seems one brother ruined the coffee table in the other brother's house dancing on it in his damned clod hopper boots. Said brother then followed that up by slapping brother number two's wife on the butt and congratulating her on a good game.
Amazing.

The point was to put a mildly humorous slant on how the sportsmanship often gets lost in the sports. A lot of that going on around here.

I try my best I swear I do... I just wish when the fur and mud starts flying I could be more able to let it go. I try but dang it......it gets me almost everytime. It's usually the real mean spirited stuff that gets me ready to kick a beagle pup...''I would never really do that''.
Most of the light hearted stuff I can go back and forth with, but when it gets nasty I get nasty back. It's wrong and childhess but I admit I do it, I am starting to mellow more each year as I get older though, lol..
I've got some friends that would take a sword for me but if you get on their Cats they go all Charles Manson in a bird dog second, lol...

Sportsmanship gets lost when people take up a team like they would a religion. Those people see it as more than just a game, to them it's like a big battle of right vs. wrong, or good vs. evil, that each outcome will change the shape of their lives and possibly even the world....I like to laugh at those people, and thoroughly enjoy messing with them to see what lengths they'll go to defend their team/cause; some are just down right ridiculous as evidenced here. I don't take any of it seriously, and I really don't know why anyone else would either. It's just a game and nothing more. The trash talk and nonsense that's been posted over the last few weeks has been very humorous and entertaining for me, and it baffles me as to why there would be complaints about it. It's funny stuff! Life's too short to be so serious all the time.

Senior Member
My contacts work just fine. I would like for you to point out a few of those truths with supporting evidence to back them up.
