So I've been reading a lot about Saints fans at Soldier Field getting taunted after their team's loss to Da Bears. Creative taunts maybe, but definitely not classy. As much as the greatest natural disaster in US history and subsequent human tragedy fueled the profound national interest (HYPE) in the Saints football team, it's downright disgusting to use as a diss. Public behavior at sporting events is rarely the most civil, but lines are crossed when you're disrespecting the dead, and the living who are reminded of this tragedy on a daily basis.
that sux. I'm a Bears fan and am not ashamed to admit i nervously chuckled at those type o' taunts in the comfort of my own home (humor in poor taste is a guilty pleasure of mine) but agree that berating the opposing fans using a huge natural disaster/human tragedy as artillery is totally retarded. Calling Cowboy's No-Bowler Tony Romo a Homo is one thing, but insult to injury in the vein of "When the Saints go rowing home" is another...
I don't think i'd be hollering anything like that in mixed company, but I'm sticking by my team and those who really love the game - football is football, and there was a lot of effort that went into the season and that game on the part of both teams. Gotta cheer on the team for what they're paid to do: win games. On any given Sunday NFL pros are making plays, not saving cities. Booyakasha, RESPECT!
Bears fans are entirely fed up with the lack of respect from the media all season, and personally, the media is making light of the desperate situation in New Orleans and the gulf coast when they make the achievements of a sports franchise with millions of dollars at their disposal a microcosm for a city with a vast deficiency of resources. The whole nation should be rooting for New Orleans, the city. The team just isn't who the media thought they were.
And Romo IS a Homo. Go Bears.
