This is a 'generational' thing I'm sure but I think the single most 'different' thing I find about today's fans... and I mean truly good fans, is that they, (sure seems to me), root MORE against teams than they do FOR their team.
MOST NFL fans I know today when talking, or posting, about sports focus on the teams they hate FAR more than the team they like.
Ok, this example is baseball, but it applies: I know a Giant fan, (and I like the Giants), that I have never ONCE seen post about the Giants, as the subject matter that is. He posts DAILY and without exception is smack talking a team he hates, (Mostly the Dodgers, obviously).
I can understand that when a big game is coming up... like the Rams vs the Niners... but non-stop with no thought whatsoever to other games or even their own team when NOT playing the hated rival? I don't get it... but like I said.. MOST 'young' fans that I know do exactly that. - JamesJM
