They're(we, myself) are no different than any of the other fanboys pulling for their particular team in their particular sport. Some idiots automatically go into their conspiracy theories every time a close call goes against them. And if an official blows a call, then he is now the devil incarnate. And even if they can't remember what they had for breakfast, they'll remember that call until their dying day. They take it personally; they think that it was made with the sole purpose of pissing them off. Other fanboys(hopefully I'm in this group) see a blown call and they'll say "Damn, he missed that one." Well, maybe we might add a coupla of motherf***s if it happens at a critical time(
) , but we don't call for a
jihad against that particular umpire, referee, etc. We take it for what it is - a human being making a human mistake. We might discuss it, but we ain't gathering the pitchforks and firewood and heading for the castle. Mutter a l'il and let 'er go.
Iow, there's fanboys and there's fanboys. There is no Universal Fanboy.
Of course, the preceding doesn't apply to BoSox fans. They're all azzholes.
