Not for nothing, but it’s a 2-way street. You may see some fans as negative, when they are actually being diplomatically accurate for what they have seen (if it can be proved by many occurrences and outcomes). Maybe some of these “negative” fans are wholeheartedly passionate enough to call a spade a spade. I’ve been on this board for a very long time. Many can attest that while I may joke a lot, post GIFs, etc…..that I have been a true WHO DAT through and through. With that being said, honestly, I think those who are “sunshine pumpers” or those who refuse to take off Black and Gold glasses, tend to “shirt” on those who are calling things like it is. I don’t mind optimism at all, but sometimes what I read is not true optimism. Sometimes it is the inability to see another’s perspective, with a blatant refusal to admit that things are not/have not been great. We all care about the team, I think we can all agree with that, but if I see people complain about things that transpire during games, while on the Gameday board, then switch up, and sunshine pump later on in the offseason, like nothing happened, and call someone else “negative” for essentially reliving those moments, that is not cool. How does someone complain in the moment and call someone else negative as time passed? Doesn’t make sense to me. Not one snap has taken place in this upcoming season. So, let them (and I’ll throw myself into tht camp bc I don’t run from smoke nor do I fall into the category of not admitting fault and I HAVE been critical of things) have their worries until things change for the better……bc until the actual change happens, then it’s still the same. Time heals and results are what matters with our team. Everyone is allowed a voice or opinion, if it falls into the rules of this board. Plus, if I am to go even further, I’ve seen more “sunshine pumpers” throw around more insults bc others have a difference of opinion. It’s freaking football. It’s never that serious in the grand scheme of life. If someone wants to vent about their football team, then how does that actually “hurt” someone? If I would let that affect my ability to function, cause myself to lose sleep, or get my feelings hurt (especially on a message board), then I would literally kick my own backside. Downvote, clown emoji, dead falcon emoji this post. Feel free if you feel it’s negative
