I am giving you 100 Hate Points

On what Sports Teams in any League, Club or National Competition do you spend them?

For me:

• 25 Montreal Canadiens - worst and most entitled fans in the country
• 25 Hamilton Tiger-Cats - the jackoff factor at their home games (especially Labour Day) is like nothing else I've seen... and tigers are not freaking yellow! trade colours with BC already!
• 15 "Manchester" United - think they've always been the best and don't realize how much their club contributed to football's modern era being about money and commercialism and haven't grasped how far they've fallen
• 5 Ottawa Senators - I'd hate them more if they weren't such a joke who should have won multiple cups but instead were the Leafs' playoff b!tch... now it's just an annoyance to see their bumper stickers and flags
• 5 Liverpool FC - haven't won in 29 years but act like they win every year and never spend big on players while hating on clubs that buy anybody
• 5 New York Yankees - I woke up this morning so I deserve a trophy, right?
• 5 Dallas Cowboys - I woke up this morning so I deserve a trophy, right?
• 5 Pittsburgh Steelers - I woke up this morning so I deserve a trophy, right?
• 5 Buffalo Sabres - Every time they play the Leafs it's game 7 of the finals
• 1 Saskatchewan - Do these people know how historically irrelevant their team has been? Canada's Team...
• 1 Alouettes - this number has gone down a lot since the times when Anthony was our road block to the GC
• 1 Russian Juniors - I'll never forgive them for the Brawl
• 1 Detroit Red Wings - lots of their fans in southwestern Ontario who reveled in their extended time on top of the league
• 1 LA Lakers - don't even like Basketball much but why does it always seem like this team and their fans are d!cks?

I don't even watch the NFL anymore so the fact that I still harbor that sort of anger towards 2 of their clubs surprised me when I thought about it.

 

Bonus: if you haven't hated enough yet then also spend HATE POINTS on sports players/broadcasters/coaches/officials/managers etc

This is the way.

Leafs are a fun team to watch lately (unless it's against the Jets). But that's where the praise ends. Their fans and the media (by and large TSN and SN) are the epitome of insufferable.

If you turn the commentator volume off and blur their emblem then yes I'm maybe with you.

Right now, I bottling up all my hate for the Riders, the EEs, the Stamps and anyone else who is fighting for the survival of this league and I'll keep it there until the first snap of the season.

You know what I hate..... McDonalds it's so nasty and over priced.   Give me Zaxx or any greasy spoon around town which have fatboy combos which are double in size and at a cheaper price.    This is what I hate for today.....

I hate:

1) Complaining

2.) Lists

3.) Pointless jeremiads

Is there a 99% agree button?  As much as I try to bottle my hate for all things Green right now, a little bit still leaks out.   🤷‍♂️

50 points for whichever team is playing the Jets, and 50 points for whichever team is playing the Bombers

It is what it is. Having friends in the potato business, I can tell you that McD's has better quality control than anyone else.  The same thing with chicken.

I have no questions on the cleanliness of McDonalds. As a kid I worked at one and it was a well oiled machine with it's practices of keeping the place clean and quality control of the food they served.   That being said the food is so full of preservatives and filler that the quality of it is the drizzling shits.   The fries are weird and unnatural,  if you ever want a good watch then check out the special features of Super Size Me in the following video.... 

 

 

I don't know as much about the rest of their food, but I know their fries have fewer preservatives than those of other fast food chains

I know some people who work at Simplot in Portage, and what they have to say is very interesting. 

KFC fries are rather infamous amongst the workers there...

50 leafs
30 riders
10 canadiens
10 all boston related franchises

Guess if this is a hate thread, then I can post how much I hate "documentaries" like the stupid **** posted above. Add to that any netflix "documentary" about any health topic.

question

 

why do sports fans hate the leafs, but cheerfor the blue jays, raptors.

raptors, blue jays have nothing to do with me, a westen canadian. 

need some consistency in our hate.

I finally watched it.  There's nothing unnatural about the fries...other than the fact that they're dried out and have nothing to grow bacteria with.  Fried, flash frozen, fried again - there goes 99% of your moisture. But I'm sure they were hard as a rock after 2 weeks...

Well, no. It's not about Western vs Eastern. 

It's only been for like 25 years that the Jets have been in the NHL. So, if you were watching the NHL, you needed another team. 

Also, the Blue Jays suck. Go Yankees! 

When the NBA expanded, I cheered for the Grizzlies and even caught a couple of games when I lived in the GVA. I cheer for the Raps now but they are not my favourite team. I don't really have one. But, you see them all the time on TV and become familiar with players and the org. Same with the Jays. You know what you see.

We cheer teams when there is no other national alternative. Fandom is by and large geographical. We booed Gretzky as an Oiler or joked about “Cindy Crosby” and hated on the Pens, but when they played for Team Canada at the Canada Cup or watched them score the Golden Goal, we loved them. So consistency is based on rooting interest, not the specific team. Leafs are our competition as Winnipeggers , Jays and Raptors are not. And yes, it is possible to have an allegiance that is not geographically based (I rooted for the 49ers and Chargers because they were the best when I was growing up and learning about NFL football), but your strongest connection will always be your “home” team in a geographic sense, IMO.

Still hated Corey Perry and was embarrassed that he was on the national team.

But did you hate him when he scored that goal in the gold medal final? I’m betting you cheered rather than booed, even if it was more subdued. 
I was not a fan of Todd Bertuzzi being on Detroit or the ‘06 Olympic team, but I still cheered for those squads.

I believe I shouted 'Ef Corey Perry' at BP. I was happy the team scored but still am embarrassed that he wore the colours.

This, for me, is what sports is all about...... more so than watching the best players in a given sport compete against one another. It's a geographical thing for me that truly drives my passion...

not me.

I dislike the entire Canada/ Toronto  centric nature of everything. not just sports. everything. 

 example CBC morning radio talk show q.... if they have a band or musician on, odds are its Toronto or Ontario band.

chances of hearing someone from the Western provinces are small. even though there are large numbers of outstanding musicians and bands from the western provinces. 

 

so .....q.... is a toronto show that us outsiders should be thankful we get to listen.

also......changing my moniker to "disgruntled westerner"

and my info to say "try heating your house without our oil!"

😂

I get why people hate it...I truly do.....but the reality is there are just way more Toronto fans across Canada than any other team. The only thing that comes close is Montreal, but it's just generations of Leafs fans raising future Leafs fans that goes back to the Original 6 days...

Sure but don't pretend like Sportsnet or TSN are actually national sports stations. Don't call all the iterations "regional" when all they do is report on the Leafs.

I 100% get what you're saying and I do agree, but........I also know TSNs rationale for doing that is that there are as many Leafs etc fans living in all of those regional markets as the "local" team..... the demand from those regional outposts for Toronto teams coverage is still very VERY high, even with a "local" team in that spot. 

Trust me, I hate it, too....it's insane.......but they've got the numbers to back it up. 

Its all just tribalism. Old wine on a new bottle.
