At Training Camp - Joke or Not Funny At All [THREAD CLOSED]

So wait, are we talking about people just wearing their jerseys everywhere or are people actually saying wearing jerseys to a game is uncool?

Because if it's the latter......whut? Are you serious? Welcome to the NFL this isn't a college game.

Agreed.......I don't wear jerseys either, simply because I choose not to spend my money on that. But I'm willing to bet if I listed every expense I had over the last year, plenty of people would rip some of them apart and question why I'd waste my money on such nonsense. The fact that people are trying to pretend it's strange that a guy would go to SAINTS TRAINING CAMP with a SAINTS JERSEY is pathetic.

I think most of us who are saying that men shouldn't wear jerseys aren't saying it's stupid. I said I don't understand it & it's not for me but people who do so are not wrong for doing it. Others have said they 'don't understand it' either. Dre just said it's odd.

Additionally, the OP asked for opinions/perspective on if we thought it was a funny joke or not funny at all. So when we tell him why we think it was 'funny' or harmless and giving context to why we feel that way, we are answering the question the OP asked. Rather than just say "It was funny" with no explanation to why we think it was funny doesn't really help the OP reconcile his feelings and see it from another perspective.

So it's ok for Coleman to disrespect the guy (and waste his time) by signing a jersey that clearly wasn't intended for him to sign, because, well, men shouldn't be wearing other men's jerseys anyway. Also, because you don't value the jersey to the extent that the owner of that jersey did, that makes the prank "harmless" or "funny".

I'm beginning to think several people in this thread are seriously unable to wrap their heads around the fact that this really isn't even really about the jersey....the jersey just happened to play a role in it. In their minds, Brandon Coleman did nothing disrespectful, and that guy got what he deserved for being an autograph-seeking jersey-wearing adult male. Therefore, he just needs to get over it, because he is "owed" nothing. Like I said previously........Brandon is just a kid, so I don't fault him for incorrectly thinking this was all one big funny joke..........but some of these mid 30-year olds on upward parroting the same thing is just pretty sad.
