David Luiz?
Funny how Spain's, England's, Suarez's, Korea's, and Italy's embarrassments were all wiped out by that goat of a game by Brazil lead by Sideshow Bob. |
Yeah, the poor guy. If Brazil had finished at the quarter-final stage he would have been remembered for what was arguably the best free kick of the entire World Cup. On top of the world one game, scorned the next. |

What a ridiculous statement. There's a bunch of kind of sports fans. Anyone who is a fan knows that. There's the guy who follows the team left and right and knows all the ins and outs but pronounces doom and gloom and always says "That's it, I'm done with them". There's fantasy fan who bleeds his teams colors but has his fantasy team that he freaks out over. There's the guy who stages the "fan protest" by boycotting the team until they do X, Y, or Z but still follows them. There's the guy who is a diehard but then the new era of free agency starts and you go and sign Johnny Damon and suddenly he flips his lid over you signing a frigging Red Sox player.
Come one man. This is sports. We all know that there are tons of different kinds of fans. |

Those are all fans. Pure and simple.
If you knew anything about anything, you'd know that.
Funny, how you claim everything and everyone is the same until you say it isn't. |

Yes, but are they loyal fans? Some would say yes, some not, and some would say they are something else.
Your statement makes about as much sense as George W. Bush saying "You're either with us or against us". |

A fan is by definition loyal. You're the one not making sense. |

Not according to the logic of your sentence.

Evidently you believe there are two kinds of fans. The sentence that follows shows that of those two there are either loyal fans or those that are not (disloyal fans).
That's what your own sentence says. Don't blame me for writing a crock of crap. |

If you're disloyal, you're not a real fan. You're a bandwagoner.
Don't blame me that you've got a crock of crap in place of a brain. |
