I have a favorite team but will watch a game because I like watching amazing players. I think his tweet was poorly worded for implying people who like the sport in general aren't fans.

Otherwise it's more head-scratching at why he'd throw that out there as someone who leans into the fan aspect.

I like Roughy and still subscribe and read his stuff since the beginning, despite the "why are you people excited about other teams playing" need to always draw a line between himself and every other fan.

It's happened many, many times over the years. *

But taking a post from Twitter from someone we all know, and then having people respond with "fuck that guy!" is A- not engagement at all & B- spineless.

However, I can only assume that the people who get aggravated by a "I don't understand the "college football is back" question must be *really* upset at the "is he mentally unstable because of this question" crowd.
