re: This Picture says a lot about our "fans."

REPOST:

Listen, I understand that within every crowd there will be a small subset of fans who really, legitimately need to leave early. No problem with those fans at all.

However, it strains common sense to argue that, coincidentally, on the night of November 15, 2008, 65,000 LSU fans simultaneously had (a) a job crisis; (b) a dying grandma; (c) a child who suddenly developed West Nile virus; (d) a religious epiphany that required them to immediately report to the nearest convent and/or abbey; (e) a call from the President requesting that they depart at 0900 hours for a covert operation in Afghanistan; (f) appendicitis; or (g) a pregnant wife who was giving birth.

The vast majority of those 65,000 fans are just indolent and lazy. That's the truth. The Tigers had lost the game to Alabama and so they were out of contention for the SEC championship. They didn't play well in the first half against Troy. And it was cold. So a bunch of lazy LSU fans decided that they would rather go home, sit in their easy chairs, shovel some Doritos into their mouths, pass gas, and go to bed early so that they could wake up bright and early the next morning...for some more lounging on the sofa.

It doesn't make them horrendous people, it just makes them lazy fans. How bad is it that the fanbase can't muster the energy to sit in one place for three hours, endure a mild chill, and yell? It's not like the fans are asked to run wind sprints or wage a war in Siberia. All they have to do is SIT and WATCH and occasionally YELL.

BTW, this isn't merely an issue that affects the LSU fan base. Sports fans (and humans) in general have become intolerably lazy. That's why we have a country full of obese pigs.
