My great-grand-dad told me about a forum back in the day. Mail would be sent out once per week with copies of new messages left about topics du jour. In the forum for baseball umpires, some fan left a message that his team was treated unfairly by the PU. A responde by a guy named Jurassic Umpire said, "piss off fanboy". IIRC, it was around 1919. This Jurassic Umpire fella was well-known... he was just entering retirement (age 65) in the 'teens.

Conicidence?

Snopes was less than helpful, too. Maybe Mythbusters has something on it.

Now I wonder if an addendum can be made to the definition relating to sports.
