(and note: almost all ARE younger these days 
)
who root for sports team, (all sports), post 90%, (or more), smack talk about teams they dislike.... maybe, MAYBE, 10% positive posts ABOUT THEIR OWN TEAM. NOT talking about this board.
I'm convinced they do not 'mainly' root "Victory" as they do reveling in the "Defeat" of despised opponents.
I think some ratio of 'both' warranted, makes it fun, as long as it's not actually 'hate' - but from where I sit it looks VERY out of proportion these days. - JamesJM
