Re: Josh Wilson rips Ravens fans
It's only a couple of guys, as far as I can tell.
I have no problem with what Josh Wilson said. A few posters here - not "the board," just a few guys - are choosing the path of victimhood. Again.
The title of the thread - compared to the actual facts - tells you all you need to know about the merit of this imagined grievance.Festivus
His definitions and arguments were so clear in his own mind that he was unable to understand how any reasonable person could honestly differ with him.

Re: Josh Wilson rips Ravens fans
That's what I say. I wasn't surprised by his lack of knowledge of the fan tradition here in Baltimore. I read an article a year or two or so ago saying that many younger NFL players have no real grasp on the history of the league and don't know, for example, there was a team called Baltimore Colts. So it isn't really surprising or shocking that he doesn't know about our history, even if he played here. He just really didn't know what he was talking about.
The way I see it, the Ravens have a 16 year history in Baltimore, but Ravens fans have a tradition that spans 60+ years and four leagues.
Other teams' fans say far worse about us and our history on a daily basis to get mad over this. It was a compliment, even if it was uninformed.---
Baltimore Colts (AAFC): 1947-1950
Baltimore Colts (NFL): 1953-1984
Baltimore Stars (USFL): 1985
Baltimore Colts/Stallions (CFL): 1994-1995
Baltimore Ravens (NFL): 1996-Present

Re: Josh Wilson rips Ravens fans
I read this, didn't really think its that big of a deal. He grew up a skins fan, and now he is a redskin. What did we expect him to say?

Re: Josh Wilson rips Ravens fans
what should hurt your eyes is when supposedly grown men try to understand what josh wilson said as "ripping"
but of course,im not pissy drink in the lot before i walk in...or out afterwards
so i guess only people who can afford to b season ticket holders and only go to get drunk are real ravens' fans
maybe i see things for what they are...
sorry i poked eductaed holes in what some people were saying...
