Disturbing trends in AFL supporters abilities and attitudes
Posted: Wed Oct 26, 2011 8:54 am
Mornin folks,
I would like to highlight some disturbing trends in AFL supporters which I have stumbled across recently. Their attitudes and abilities have been questioned here in the fight club before many a time and rightly so. Ability in this context is often in referral to their poor analysis of situations such as the countries love affair with rugby league, or soccer juniors outnumbering AFL juniors and so on and so forth. In the same context AFL supporters attitudes, barring Grim Reaper who seems to be a more enlightened rare type of AFL supporter, refers to their stark inability to be able to acknowledge anything else other than their own kind and sport.
Now at first my belief in the good of humanity led me to believe that "well this must only be the way they are in the fight club". But since the arcade opened I have realised otherwise. Currently there are only four members utilising the arcade. 3 pure AFL supporters and myself. In ability I am streaks ahead. Its quite astounding actually. If you combine all of the games in which they have the high scores and compare to me, together the three of them are almost half as good as moi
Now I know gaming may seem a bit far fetched in terms of ability but several skills are necessary in the games on the arcade games beaussie has chosen. These include quick thinking, concentration, focus, problem solving skills, language skills, and dealing with the pressure to achieve. I also know that the numbers are too small to be statistically powerful to suggest all AFL supporters lack ability but there is a trend there suggesting these bogans have no ability
Secondly the attitude of the AFL supporters is quite astounding in the arcade forum. The forum is suggested to be a place to boast. Now as I'm top dog I've been boasting to billio.
It saddens me to see this trend and I urge all our members to think of firstly - ways this trend may be inherent in AFL supporters - and secondly - ways AFL supporters might be possibly immunised against this tragic lack in ability and shameful attitude.
Your time and contribution to this important footycode debate is much appreciated.
Kind regards,
