The last thing most of those fans want is to be educated. They just want to be around other uneducated complainers who echo their ignorance. They might tolerate a couple of "corrections" from an official, but after a couple of those, you'll just get em' mad and in your face. Ignorance doesn't want to know the truth, it just wants more ignorance. Best thing is to just stay away.

But just think what can happen if you teach two ignorant fans something new. And they tell two friends, and they tell two friends...
