Past Gymnastics Message Board Memories

Eagles fans are a special sort of absolutely batshit crazy.

Yeah, if anyone here has ever seen or read Silver Linings Playbook, that's not even the tip of the iceberg.

I don’t think that gymReddit has a particularly young demographic. Reddit on the whole doesn’t attract large numbers of younger users and I’d be very surprised to find any regular gym redditors under 25

This reminds me of a spat I had on there not long ago. We were arguing over whatever it was and the other person kept saying they were sure I was very young. It was evident that I was expected to respond by indignantly offering my adult credentials up so they could say you sound half your age or whatever. As I'm a dick, I ignored it and carried on about my millennial day, pondering lower back pain and how the fuck it's over 30 years since Mo Huilan came on the scene.

It was all quite odd. I never did find out how old they were.

Sometimes you have to put on your DGAF persona and ignore what the hoi polloi say.

I had to ban myself from gymnastics reddit because it was just so infuriating. I had to ask myself WTF I was doing there is all it ever did was raise my blood pressure.

Well that's just Philly as a whole

Are Eagles fans as unhinged as UCLA fans?

 

[RedBirdie]

Eagles fans make UCLA fans look sane, calm, and rational.

Philly sports is A Thing.

Amazing that they haven't burned down the city then.

Me as an innocent Jersey girl: It's just a game.

Philly in-law: It's a life-or-death-matter. We have to win while eating our weight in low-quality bread, meat, and cheese. And shitty potato chips.
