Twitter is a wonderful place. Anyone can just….say
things. Anything. This phenomenon is particularly entertaining during sports
games. On Sunday evening, in case you’re an Avs fan who hasn’t heard yet, they
got a little stiffed on an obvious offside call during their game with the
Chicago Blackhawks.
This let to outrage amongst Avs fans, Hawks haters,
and most hockey fans with a brain. But remember what we said about Twitter and people
saying things? This phenomenon, especially when tied to sports, tends to bring
out the biased, and frankly idiotic, traits of sports fans. Here are some prime
examples of stupid sports fans, biased sports fans, and argumentative sports
fans:
One "genius" thinks he wrote the NHL rule book:
Another hockey fan must not have Flash media player installed on his device, as he obviously hadn't seen the footage. Hopefully not anyways, based on his response to the incident:
This fan, who is even using player names in his argument, and thinks repeating things makes the ruling correct. And, in a shocking twist, used the blatantly terrible ruling by all parties involved, that he conveniently lists, to "prove" he is right:
This tweep tried to tell Mark Rycroft he is wrong. Rycroft decided to show the fan why he works for an NHL broadcast and the fan is tweeting from his couch. Bonus: the fan is a twitter egg.
Last, and certainly not least, this fan thinks because it was against the laughing stock of the NHL in an inevitable collapse, it doesn't really matter:
Never change hockey fans. Never change Twitter.
