pointman Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I get it, its the "cool" thing to be down on the team you root for... I guess. But why is that? How much a large part of the regular posters here like to sh*t on the Jets every chance they get? Its a Jets forum but it seems all the Jets "fans" are more negative than the trolls who post here as Bills, Pats, Dolphins fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the same boat but I still love and root for this team. If thats the reason for the hate of the team you supposedly are a fan of, why not just move on to something else. I hear soccer is getting popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the NFL too much to just move on to a different sport, and I don't ever switch teams. So for now, I bash away until the Jets get good.

JohnnyHector Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 It's a chicken-or-the-egg conundrum for me. I'm not sure whether I was born a pessimistic, snarky, a$$hole or if a childhood/adolescence/adulthood of rooting for the Jets has made me this way. For the record, I'm guessing it was the former more so than the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitonti Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 There's no right way to be a fan. If Jets fans want to complain, that's well within their rights. Let's be real every season ends in some heartbreaking fashion. end of the day it's entertainment and if complaining is entertainment for people, so be it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoicsentry Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I don't get it, either. I've been here for a few years, and I'm not. A healthy degree of skepticism is good, but it's hard to take it seriously when people bash this current regime, which we are 32-22 under (including 4-2 in the playoffs). Some of them say that we should fire Mike T., Rex, and cut Sanchez and I don't know how they can justify that. OK, maybe I understand the "cut Sanchez" part of it, but not the rest. Of course, the media is so anti-Jet that maybe some people are influenced by that... for example, declaring with certainty that the Bills will have a better record than the Jets when they haven't beaten us once in our last 5 matchups.
