I hate people who are so pessimistic during sports games

It's not even funny. I mean seriously. My main example is football where they expect things to go perfect. I was at the Cal Arizona game yesterday and while we won 45-28 we weren't exactly perfect. Nate Longshore had a sub 60% completion rate and there was someone in front of me that just kept moaning everytime there was an incomplete pass. Even when we ran the ball and didn't get a first down that person just goes WHYYY?!!?! Ughhh. I wanted to yell STFU and just watch the game. I mean seriously, what do you expect? Do you expect QBs to go for 100% completions and every rushing play to get you to a first down or just short of one? Even when we had Aaron Rodgers and JJ Arrington who seriously killed every Pac-10 team out there and even pwned USC in yardage despite that loss we weren't perfect. What the hell do you expect from our team?

I was pissed. Has this person even watched a Raiders or 49ers game? Clearly not. Watching a top 10 NCAA team that's been in 4 bowl games in the past few years means you can at least expect a decent number of winning games. I can almost understand WHY such a person doesn't watch the 49ers or the Raiders. I bet they never watched the Warriors in the past. Why? All they want is a winning team; they can't stand to watch a team that loses. Bandwagoners I swear. At the Cal football game yesterday I remember friends going "Oh I remember that game.. KYLE BOLLER... MAKONNEN.. Oh I remember going to the 1-10 season games." What's funny is this person had nothing to say about those games. Why? I bet they weren't there because it was a losing season.

The same happened when we watched the Warriors play last year. This person just kept going ughh why are they shooting outside shots, they can't make it. Stop shooting. Ok, and what do you know about bball? You think Biedrins stands a chance against AK-47 who totally owned for my fantasy league last year that was based on blocks and steals?

I seriously hate people who expect their team to kick ass with virtually no mistakes. Worst of all they understand nothing about sports or very little. They dont understand formations in football and reads and whatever you name. I'm not expecting everyone to be well rehearsed in sports strategy, but at don't just complain about your team because they're not playing like a #1 team 100% of the time.

My dad does this every time he watches an Indians game. Even when they're in first place and winning, he'll complain about how much they suck.
