You should be ashamed ...

...if you think people should be ashamed for making choices that don't involve killing or hurting someone.
 
Again, eff you if you're against wearing a jersey at home while watching the WNBA.

Wearing the jersey to the game seems much more pathetic.
It can be accepted as game-day fashion. Out in public, not so much.
• Any fan who paints their entire body and goes shirtless, even if they jiggle like a bowl full of jelly, at a sporting event. No one wants to see your beer gut. Painted purple, doubly so.

Who watches the WNBA? Doesn't reruns of Laverne and Shirley get better ratings?

I don't know. It's the 'special occassion thing' that seems pathetic to me.
If somebody grabs a jersey out of the closet, I'm alright with that to a certain point. It's not something I wear much of, but I have one jersey and will wear it occassionally if I don't have a clean sweatshirt available.

But having special clothes set aside for going to a game seems beyond silly to me.
Or wearing your 'game gear' to watch a sporting event on TV.
Or wearing concert shirt or rock-band shirt to a concert.
 
If you go to a youth football game and yell at the linemen throughout the game to block or tackle better but never yell at the QBs, RBs or WRs to throw, run or catch better.
 
You should be ashamed if you only cover us when we don't block or tackle well.
 
I don't care what anyone says. As soon as I can find a Dan Quisenberry jersey for less than $100, I'm wearing that sumbitch every chance I get.

At this point, I invoke the polar opposite of "pics or GTFO"

You should be ashamed if you use the word "polar" when protesting a **** measuring contest.

If you go to a youth football game and yell at anyone. Period.
 
If you actually admit to watching the WNBA and you're anything other than a woman or a gay man.

:D
 
If you "became" a Red Sox fan within the last decade. And you should further be nutkicked if the conversion occured after 2003.
 
I am a quasi Sox fan after a trip there in 02.

And I agree on the yelling at youth sports. Especially football.

This. I became a Sox fan in 1986, at the age of nine, after feeling sorry for the guys that lost.
My dad never was into sports much (other than NASCAR), so I was never browbeaten into becoming a Tigers/Lions/Pistons fan like all my friends. Being from Michigan originally, the only team I cheer on are the Dead Things...I mean Red Wings.

I'll add one to the list since I am here:

...if you work in the communications/broadcasting/journalism field, yet you have no ability on how to relate to your fellow co-workers on a human level.
 
....if you put one of those "13.1", "26.2", "OBX", or any other awful sticker on your vehicle. Actually, you shouldn't be ashamed. You should just drive your vehicle over a cliff immediately.

I know OBX, but what do the other ones mean?

13.1=Half-marathon; 26.2=marathon.
Now, what the heck does "OBX" mean?
