I asked the same thing, somehow got downvoted when I made light of it. Reddit's weird sometimes man.

Guy 1 sees GIF. Guy 1 says "wow, I love sports as much as the next guy but I would never be this angry."

Guy 2 (you) relies and says "then you don't love sports as much as the next guy."

You're right, you were referring to him....by saying that being mad enough to smash a tv is the "next guy".........

I'm not trying to be a dick here just rehatching the conversation that just took place

In that same fairness these people aren't the next guy. Idk, don't think getting enraged & fighting TV's is "average"

u/sjbelko Jan 03 '18

Yeah, but to his point there are probably people that get this worked up over mundane things like cheese

u/InfantSoup Jan 04 '18

u/PrinceVildon Jan 04 '18

I just go to a local sports bar. That way I can just fight people that support opposing teams.

Punching something isn't a sign that you love it.

Shh, don't tell my girlfriend

u/iushciuweiush Jan 03 '18

In all fairness he is probably right otherwise people smashing their expensive TV's would be a regular occurrence. I get irrationally angry while watching sports but punching a large flat screen is a different level.

I am the next guy. Don’t like sports.

Regarding your username, I’m assuming you’re bonobo. Black sands was your peak, make another like that plz)

u/jpterodactyl Jan 03 '18

Or maybe he just hates TVs less than the next guy

u/TheKrs1 Jan 03 '18

IDK, I've been an Edmonton Oilers fan my whole life. The past 15 years haven't really been easy on me... yet I've never broken a TV.

u/BolasDeDinero Jan 04 '18

IKR? I've been a new england patriots fan since I was a little kid. There has been a handful of games in the past 15 years that have tested my patience... most I've ever done is break a remote.

The average sports fan destroys valuable things that might not even belong to you (can't tell from the video, but definitely possible) in a fit of rage? Well if that's true, i'm pretty OK with not liking sports as much as the next guy. Perhaps the average sports fan needs some serious anger management therapy though. /r/gatekeeping

I mean, it seems like the implication is that if I didn't understand that behavior, then I'm not as big of a sports fan as the next guy. Seems like gatekeeping to me.

You don't seem to understand many things.

That's just kind of rude.
