allowing for the scenario that <span style=\"text-decoration-line: line-through;\">Edge<\/span> this guy was also unhappy about, where Dodger fans basically took over <span style=\"text-decoration-line: line-through;\">AT&amp;T<\/span> Oracle Park.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Granted, most fans of all teams of all sports are generally such types of fans, but Giants fans love, love to arrogantly pride themselves on being intelligent, statistic-savvy, analytical as well as hip and down with whatever climates of the internet are in circulation.\u00a0 As much as Yankees, Phillies, Red Sox and Cubs fans are so often seen as fratty, degenerate and some of the most oppressive fanbases in baseball, Giants fans are easily the most arrogant, douchey, hipster fanbase in the league.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">But when it really comes down to it, they\u2019re still no different than any other fanbase in any sport, and when the team starts to suck and the wins don\u2019t seem as given as they once might have been, they\u2019re nowhere to be seen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">And it sucks having your team\u2019s home park invaded and overrun by visiting fans; I\u2019ve been to my share of games against the Cubs and Yankees, whose fans travel among the best out there, and I\u2019ve seen my share of purposefully organized invasions of Philadelphia fans to sports arenas in Maryland and Washington DC.\u00a0 It sucks seeing all these outside tourists, emboldened by the presence of their fandom brethren, and triple worse if they are on the winning side.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">I have no sympathy for the Giants or their spoiled and smarmy, arrogant, douchey, hipster fans.\u00a0 Any of them so unhappy with the team doesn\u2019t even have to look back a decade to see when the good times were present, multiple times, and if they can\u2019t analyze and understand that it\u2019s simply impossible for any team to dominate like the Celtics or Yankees once did in today\u2019s sport environments, they not as smart of fans as they might think they are.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Motherfuckers can sit on their fists and pump pump pump pump pump pump pump, and then jump jump jump jump jump jump jump, which is still one of the most embarrassing in-between inning segments of entertainment I\u2019ve ever witnessed at a ballpark during my ballpark travels.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TL;DR: Edge complains about how much the San Francisco Giants suck this year, and how much it sucks that their ballpark is getting overrun by Dodgers fans Okay obviously it\u2019s not actually wrestling superstar Edge, but it\u2019s some other schmuck out in San Francisco who\u2019s name also happens to be Adam Copeland, but that\u2019s all &hellip;
