I dunno know, that sounds a little "in your face" to me, but I've definitely heard worse. I just found it comical that calling people sore losers and chokers was coming from someone who found it necessary to lecture other fans on sportsman like conduct.
Since you can't seem to see the difference between people criticizing the officiating and your Steelers, you might want to refrain from watching very many national sports commentators or writers for the next couple of days. Some are being pretty brutal....of the officiating, that is.
I agree with you. The Steelers fans should not be so paranoid. The bashing is mostly about the officials.
"I dunno know, that sounds a little "in your face" to me, but I've definitely heard worse"
Yeah, if that constitutes "in your face" maybe you should give up being a football fan and start watching competitive knitting or something.
"Since you can't seem to see the difference between people criticizing the officiating and your Steelers"
I can understand it perfectly:
"The officiating was bad"="criticizing the officiating"
"The refs gave the game to the Steelers", "the refs stole the game from the Seahawks", "the Seahawks would have won if it were not for the officiating" = "criticizing the Steelers and stating they didn't deserve to win".
It also equals total oblivion to reality.
