[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From someone who doesn't watch football: the view that I see is it's all about Brady. The popular player who is a celebrity player, has a good looking model wife and flaunts all of it. Even when the new team just won, it's all about how sad Brady is. How upsetting. How the team lost, will he retire... What about the new team that just won? [/quote]

Here's the issue:  Brady does not flaunt it, he doesn't have to, but he is successful.  There are unhappy people that just don't like successful people, and nothing will ever change (either side).  He is allowed to be good, and is not looking for permission from anyone. He is his own person, and I respect that.  He is actually fueled to do well by the hate toward him, which is remarkable. When he ages out the schadenfreude will be disproportionate to anything else. It says more about people who have such hate for someone they will never know, than anything else. This is the part that is fascinating. As for the team that just won, they are busy burning down their own city. [/quote]

People dont really hate Brady unless he has ripped their heart out. However, hating fans who believe that his success is somehow their success is fair game.[/quote]

I don't see it that way, and (since you brought it up) don't understand about fans who see his winning as your failure; just as I don't think people equate his success with their own.  But maybe if you see his success as your failure, than you make the assumption that other people think along the same lines as you - that makes no sense, really. It sounds immature, self centered, narcissistic and well, ridiculous.  I don't understand the hate that haters don't want to call hate, when it is quite obviously that. In fact, there were more anti- NE Philly fans yesterday than Philly and NE fans put together, which may sound reasonable to you....[/quote]

I did enjoy watching them lose yesterday though. Has it been mentioned that they lost to a journeyman backup QB? [/quote]
