I don't know what I said to you that wounded you so deeply, but if I ever took the time to actually think about it, I might even be sorry.

I hope this helps get you through this difficult time.

Very petty, but damn do I hate George Orwell’s moustache. It is the second-most disturbing moustache ever.

Watching a high speed car chase on KTLA with over the top hysteria commentary from the news anchors is just peak American media. You could really sense their desire to see something shocking happen (crash, hit a pedestrian, shootout etc) and their palpable disappointment when the pursuit ended with the driver pulling into a parkade.

I wonder if the screeching banshee who kept yelling to the Hitmen at the game last night thought she was giving useful tips and tricks.
"PASS PASS PASSSSSS"
"GOOD JOB BOYS"
"GO HITMEEEEN"
"GET 'IM! GET 'IM!! GET 'IMMM!!!"
"GET IT OUT OF THERE!!!! GO GO GO GO GO GO GO!!!"

Like, #### bitch. STFU. You're yelling in my ear and you're a dope of the highest order. Hoot if we score. Cheer a good play. But we're not here to listen to your advice to the team on a play-by-play basis. Just shut the #### up. How is that acceptable? What other venue can you just yell so the performers can get distracted by you and the entire audience is subjected to your main-character behaviour. She should be ####ing kicked out.

Actually, I think there should be more of that. I was watching soccer clips from the fan POV the other day and the noise/energy was a lot more exciting for a less exciting sport.

Hockey fans are some of the most boring people to be around/watch a game with. 90% of them act like they’re at the theatre watching a performance.

Soccer & exciting

I recognize both those words, just not in the context you are using the in your post.

Yeah totally. If there is no fan noise, there’s essentially nothing except the sounds of sticks slapping on the ice during game play.

Watching a game at the Dome without fans shouting is like watching a game on TV with the sound muted.

It's born out of having to entertain themselves because soccer is bloody dull.

If there are like 20,000 people in the stadium maybe it's different. But there had to be like 300 of us at the game. Everyone was in the bottom bowl and it was maybe 30% full. Everyone enjoying the game and cheering where appropriate except this one moron who had to let everyone know she was the super fan with more emotional investment in the game than anybody else. Sorry, being the yelling sports fan isn't an actual identity.

You’ll get no argument from me, I’m not saying “wow if only hockey were like soccer!” but just that the energy in the stands is 10x better regardless of the cause of it.

Going to the Dome to give a little golf clap at a good play and reserving your sensible cheers for sensible moments seems super lame and boring. And let’s be honest, it’s not like every hockey game is above long stretches of dullness.
