Yeah ok<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">I didn\u2019t give it much thought afterward, but clearly I had ignited Ravens fans for taking a pot-shot at their fanbase for how <a href=\"http:\/\/totfc.net\/?p=39537\">they so glowingly supported Ray Rice<\/a> after his domestic assault charges against his fianc\u00e9e, implying that they are as brainless and dumb as I genuinely think of most of them anyway, and the responses were about as predictable as one might imagine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Firstly, most everyone who replied to my comment completely missed the point of being in support of female gymnasts, because I had committed the most heinous of sins, which was to take a swipe at the Ravens, and all these schmucks were blinded with rage when composing their own silly rebuttals, with denial, personal attacks, including a racist one where a black guy told me to stick to ping pong that either was deleted, or they had the wherewithal to delete themselves, and a not-surprising amount of people who were inadvertently taking Humphrey\u2019s side just because he\u2019s on the Ravens.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">The thing is, what a lot of these butthurt commenters don\u2019t seem to realize that by attacking me, they\u2019re basically showing their support of Marlon Humphrey\u2019s disdain for women athletes demonstrating sportsmanship as well as being okay with domestic violence towards women.\u00a0 Yes, it\u2019s a little bit of a reach to come to those conclusions, but looking at the gamut of people who took their time to air out their grievances with my words with their own, it doesn\u2019t seem that far-fetched after all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">My favorites are the people who tried to defend Ray Rice by stating how he helped the Ravens win a Super Bowl some time ago, as if it makes it completely okay that he beat the living shit out of his fianc\u00e9e in a hotel service elevator.\u00a0 Or how she was spitting on him and cursing and smacking him first, so she seemed to deserve it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">I like when abusers, or those who are okay with it identify themselves, because it makes it easy for me to steer clear of the pieces of shit they are.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">The thing is, my remarks also got a surprisingly high (300+) number of likes, showing that a lot of more intelligent people agreed with my opinion of Humphrey\u2019s dumbass remark.\u00a0 Unfortunately, those people were all smarter than me and didn\u2019t comment in the first place, and frankly I don\u2019t know why I do it sometimes, other than inadvertently embarking on some weird social experiments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">But hey, unsurprising as it is, it\u2019s something to see, that even ten years after the last time I posted about Ravens fans being idiots, absolutely nothing at all seems to have changed.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even before I had daughters, I\u2019ve always been in support of women\u2019s rights.\u00a0 What\u2019s wrong with believing in that whole notion that everyone should be equal?
