My sister's into that. It's not highbrow, trust me.

 I'd much rather get on the case of someone like, say, The Killers.  They planned and plotted and stole melodies and instrumentation from other bands so they could get laid and be rock stars.  And fucking Brandon Flowers is sooooooo.....fake.
 
 I'll take Hanson over most of these "new" fake-nouveau-retro-insincere bands any day.

I'm going with prepubescent girl, although there's a distinct possibility of fatty 25 year old. I dunno, if she was 25, she'd probably like the Killers guy.

Ok, you have a point there.
 
 I have only been to an NHL Game in DC. and numerous AHL games growing up in upstate NY, which by definition is populated with unrefined people.
 
 My brother went on a Western Canadian bus trip/hockey tour that went to Winnipeg, Calgary, and Vancouver. I'll have to ask him what his findings were.

 Hockey fans, at least at the games I've been to, have typically been, shall we say, somewhat unrefined in their appearance. Like the guy in the picture. Not that there's anything wrong with that. DC could use a few more mullet wearing, nonpreppy rednecks. Why don't you move on down here?
 

so how many cities have you seen hockey games in???  Because, as far as the NHL goes, i have seen games in DC, Philly, Pittsburgh, Boston, New York(MSG), Phoenix, Detroit, Chicago, Toronto and Montreal as well as countless college, junior and other hockey games/events, and i can say the mullet wearing redneck contingency is much higher in DC than in most of those other cities (perhaps Chicago is pretty close though).  
 
   also, i have been to many NBA and MLB games and the fans there are no prizes. just as many fat asses at the Nationals game as there are at MCI center! [/b]

Terrible. Lay off w/ the direct insults.

[Arlette]

Nope to both.  
 
 Just someone who doesn't need to be "cool" on a message board by bashing the low hanging fruit.

I will not rise to the level of using my "A-material" for Hanson fans. They get "C-material" and only then if they put up a fight. Why use a bazooka to kill a cockroach?

Here are my sports fan stereotypes:
 
 1. Soccer. Nobody living in the USA outside of DC actually likes soccer. Soccer fans are either foreigners, recent immigrants, or Americans who think that "DC is such an amazing city because it's sooooo international." Soccer fans tend to be overly critical of American foreign policy, no matter which Party is in office.
 
 2. Baseball. Baseball fans are "deathly boring". They would be content to sit in a field and watch cattle graze for hours. They are the fans most likely to wear polo shirts, or polo shirts with t-shirts underneath.
 
 3. Basketball. Basketball fans typically live in PG County, or east of 14th Street. They watch BET and spend lots of money on gold chains and Tommy Hillfinger gear.
 
 4. Hockey: Hockey fans are northern rednecks. They wear dated hairstyles. DC hockey fans tend to be from the VA suburbs, go to JAXX at least three times a year, and have an oversized $120 Jaromeer Jagr jersey in their closet that they don't weay anymore.
 
 5. NASCAR. NASCAR fans are basically southern hockey fans. Though they're more likely (than hockey fans) to own three Brooks and Dunn cassettes, and an undersized Dale Earnhardt t-shirt that they wear every day of every weekend.
 
 6. Football. Football fans are usually former fraternity members who still go back to their old frat house for years and years after they graduate from college, so they can drink beer from a keg, and try to fuck college girls.
 
 6. The I love them all (1-6) fan. These people are what are known as "blockheads." They are also likely to feel that U2 and Green Day are bands of unquestionable integrity.

 Just out of curiosity, which major sports league attracts all the "refined" fans?  USTA?  PBA?

Whatever rating you give your "material", all I'm inferring is a direct judgement or comment is uncool. If you must, then jab the whole fanbase or respond to comments. (I don't think the formite said they were a fan). By the way, what grade material is it when you flood a message board?   :p

Well, I was rating material based on the amount of wit, how clever the wordplay is, and how biting the satire is, so by that scale, probably pretty low since any idiot can flood a message board if he/she has a posse. However, looking at it from another perspective, it's hard to question the sheer demoralizing effectiveness of someone logging on their favorite messageboard only to see the entire first 3 pages be filled with poorly spelled, all CAPS posts informing them they are "TEH FAGGOT." But again, that would seem utter overkill if the intent was just to blast one isolated moron who likes Hanson.

If you paid any attention, you'd notice I've been posting around here for a few years, albeit rarely.  
 
 Not really a Hanson fan.  I have listened to their records, but I can take their music or leave it. It's pretty vanilla. The point being:  their music is not offensive and it's not just over-produced pop crap.   Whereas Mr. Flowers and his ilk, blatant rip-off artists, now THAT's offensive.  
 
 And Kosmo, I'm with you. Too many times people here jump all over new posters.....flexing their Internet bully muscles.  Must make them feel better about themselves, somehow.

speaking for myself only, i most often blast out at Rhett, Hoya, and Julian and have blasted out at Celeste, General Grevious, GGw and Markie on occasion, so if and when i blast a newbie its just because they may have said something silly, has nothing to do with how many posts they have.
 
   and i would suspect its the same for most.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Like you, jumping all over the Killers, who were not even part of the conversation until you started tossing insults their way. Must make you feel better, your freaking internet bully. I know your harsh words about the Killers are going to make Julian, Sonic, and me cry all weekend.
