'Eight Stupidest Things Sports Fans Love to Say'

With nobody on base.

 

Just as bad are the ones that yell at the refs when their team is DOWN 25 or 30 points at halftime.
Yeah, because it's their fault your kid dribbled the ball off his foot the last three trips down the court; the uncoordinated 6-foot-3 power forward is launching up 35-foot 3-pointers that either land around the free throw line or leave a hole in the gym wall; and the 5-foot-2, 110-pound point guard just picked up his fifth foul despite coming into the game for the first time with 1:30 left in the fourth quarter.

 

Or at a softball game.

 

"It's tough to beat a team three times in a season."

Not if one team is better than the other.

 

And you've already beaten them twice.

 

Not so much something said as uttered, but I hate it when a home team's fans boo the opposing pitcher when he throws to first on a pickoff attempt. Shut the fuck up, people. Do you expect the pitcher to ignore the baserunner so as not to needlessly annoy you?

 

That being said, pitchers who basically lob the ball to first annoy me.

You want to make an honest attempt at the pickoff? Great. Fling it over there.

But if you aren't, then you aren't really "holding him close". You're wasting time.

 

Got a plane to catch? Do you go to the ballpark to get out as fast as you can? Big fucking deal. A couple lobs can certainly make the runner think twice, or keep him from taking that extra step. That's the point. But again, big fucking deal. I'm in no hurry when I'm at a game.

 

"Let's boo the guy in the Heat jersey!"

 

"Coach, what was going through your mind when you pulled Goalie X after he let in four goals on ten shots?"

Oh, shit, that's a dumb media question

 

Also hate it when fans react to every pop fly as if it was a 400-foot homer. Every park seems to have 20,000 fans with no depth perception. Giant roar from the crowd and the second baseman catches the ball 6 feet into the outfield.

 

People are stupid. I hate them.
