    Why Homers aren't True Fans

    Homers have this backwards notion that by blindly only choosing to see things from the Bills point of view, giving the Bills the benefit of the doubt that they are superior fans.

    The ideology goes something like this: If your a Believer when it's hardest time to believe (in other words team sucks) than that means your a super fan.
    Believe in Bills + loosing team = Supeefan

    This is just like being a brainwashed religious fundamentalist. Regardless of scientific discovery, evolution, sexism, etc... Fundamentalist always believe when it's hardest to believe and pat themselves on the back for being True believers as a result.

    But I disagree

    It's easy to be a blind homer. It's cowardly, it's distructive, it's dishonest, it's a feminine trait.

    It takes balls and honesty to call a spade a spade and still support it. It takes guts to see that your team sucked and still be there on Sundays.

    This is the real fan, not some blind homer that's justifying his fanhood with make believe. Not that feminine pussy boy that doesn't have the integrity and honesty to see things clearly instead being clouded by his own emotions.

    Homers are no different than religious fundamentalists.

    Realist are the true Super fan that is there even when he knows the cup is 90% empty.
    Please Make Sense

    He's not telling you what to do. He's pointing out an inherent flaw in your mentality. Of course, it's easier to dismiss it as bull**** than to maybe reconsider your point of view.....

    The only time you may be at a Bills game Mike is when they play your team, the CHEATING Pats*

    Well I don't know about you, but I NEVER want to have a flawed, inconsistent mentality, even if it's about something I do just for fun.

    Disagree. This is the type of thread that comes from the utter frustration of trying to have a realistic discussion about this team on this board. Too many people can't stand to hear the slightest criticism, no matter how factual it is

    And it just gets nauseating to hear people who claim to be fans continually defending the same losers that are keeping this team from winning over and over again.

    What an original thread. I'm sure there will be some new and profound thoughts on the "homer" versus "realist" topic.

    Why is it a waste of time thread? Nothing is going on. The poster merely published a thread to elicit comment and keep things going.

    Stop being an overly-sensitive plick.

    Re: Why Homers aren't True Fans

    Mike, the major flaw in your argument is that "fan" is short for fanatic. So "like being a brainwashed religious fundamentalist" is exactly what being a fan is.

    Sorry, you're not allowed to change the real meaning of the word. Start calling yourself a Bills critic if you want.
