Unfortunately it's being heard as a negative defeatist mentality.
"Being a realist" is perceived as wallowing in sorrow.
Can the Bengals beat the Saints?
Yes there's always luck and a snowball's chance in hell.
The Bills have 3 passing TDs in the whole season but managed beating the Vikings.
I honestly didn't think the Bills could beat another NFL team going into the season.
To get to the point.
People don't like someone(you)snuffing out hope.
Call it "whining, squealing, whimpy" or whatever.
That's what they're really getting at.
I actually don't blame the people who have a negative outlook. I just object to the term "realists" when the "realist" have been proven wrong before. There were many years when the "realists" said we would have a losing record but we made the playoffs. and I am sure there were a bunch of Eagle "realists" who said they could not win the super bowl last year.
So feel free to be negative about things. You have the right. Just don't claim that your opinion is based on reality when you really don't know what reality holds in store.
