the guy was yelling about hating "****ing Mormons" My brother and I are not your typical soft spoken Mormon. My brother asked if he was feeling tuff because he was wearing a Raiders jersey. The guy came up to do something and when my brother and I both stepped right to him you could see his *** pucker. It went down hill from there.

Yesterday and this guys talkin about how he's from Utah. Looks like a tool, but regardless I asked him if he was a Jazz fan. Shakes his head, says no, says they suck. And I'm like "but, but... They're young." and he doesn't go into further detail.

Of course, this guys favorite team is Miami. Asked him why, and he said mainly because of Dwayne Wade.

Yeahh right.

Anyways, discuss. Are typical people from Utah this dumb?

nah just bandwagon fans. most fans in Utah like the lakers
 
Seriously? Utah has a population of around 3 million people. You meet one person at a truck stop and want to know if he is representative of the rest? Hmm. I am thinking a little bigger sample size just might be a good idea.

And living in Utah right now - but having lived in all parts of the US and some time in Canada - never seen a place that has only one team, including Boston, Houston, Denver, Chicago, and Dallas.

Why was he afraid of what you were going to do to his ***?
 
The sports fan issue is no different than the politics issue. People believe what the media tells them to believe. No need to think when tv and the internet can tell me what to think. The big names are the ones that people become "fans" of, and mostly so they fit in with their friends anyway. These are not fans really, but their money drives the whole machine.

One of my friends is a "fan" like this. He makes ridicudollars and called me once from a Lakers game, to brag about being at the game. I said wow that's cool, what's going on? He said that he had been able to buy tickets for 6 or 8 of his friends. He said the halftime show was pretty good, he was only a few seats away from Jack Nicholson, and that he thought he had an in with one of the cheerleaders (well they were floor tickets and he drives a better car than I do, even though I drive a Prius). He said they had tried like a dozen different designer beers or something and that the food was pretty good for a sports venue. I asked what the score was and he said "huh? what? I don't know I guess Kobe is ahead".

There is your typical fan, ladies and gentlemen. This is what drives the big sports machine.

UGLI said it best, everyone is retarded.
 
Alot of Utahns have an inferiority complex about this state and claim to hate everything about except the mountains. It's weird. I usually tell them to ****ing move, but they always have some excuse as to why it would be impossible for them to do so.
 
I don't see the problem with people who live in Utah cheering for another team. I was born in CT and I am a life long Red Sox fans. I took a lot of crap from my friends who are Yankee fans but I never changed. When I moved to LA, I didn't change and become a Dodger fan or Angel fan. I like both teams but I will die a Red Sox fan.

The same is true with the Jazz, I can tell you that I even get more crap about being a Jazz fan. I will never change. So perhaps this guy lived in Miami one time and didn't change his loyalty. On the other hand he could be like a lot of bandwagon fans and just cheer for the most popular/winning team. A lot of people do this because they usually are superficial people who think if they route for a winner then they are winners. LA is full of these type of people.

Many of the kids I grew up with in Utah didn't like the Jazz.

They were ********, and loved the Lakers or Bulls.
 
Luckily, I don't see to many of those people here in Edmonton. If you don't like the Oilers, then it's best not brought up. We have several city streets, even freeways named after Hall of Famers that played here.



Gretzky made this place a hockey-city-- and it's unbelievable sacrilege to root for any other team. There was one kid I went to high school with who was a huge Habs fan, and we put that kid through the ringer in a weekly basis.


It's of no surprise that we sell-out games all season long, even though we haven't made the playoffs since 2006
 
^ but as far as basketball is concerned, nobody really cares for the Raptors here. Basketball is mostly paid attention to among the immigrated population, who tend to root for Miami, LA, etc

I don't judge nobody, often, but when I looked at the guy, and he said that he was from Utah... I could tell he probably lived his entire life in Utah.

A terminal, not a truck stop. Like a dispatch area, your workplace if you're a trucker.

Sheesh, typical Utahn.
