I don't think our fanbase ever had a big problem with Harrison. Just look at when we signed him. There wasn't much backlash. Now imagine if we'd signed Hines. I think Cincy would've had a riot. I'd say he was the closest comparison for how your fans feel about Burfict.Oh I absolutely guarantee you that if Cincinnati would've signed Hines Ward your fanbase would've embraced him. Just as if the Steelers sign Burfict then the majority of Steelers fans would all of the sudden like him.
I don't think I ever saw a Steeler fan question Ward's tactics. It was always "keep your head on a swivel" when talking about him. Bengals fans pretty much openly admit that Burfict is dirty. Therefore, no hypocrisy on our side.
Fwiw, I agreed with the rest of your post. It sucks when your defensive MVP gets targeted by the league.

The only problem with James was when he ear holed guys when a rib shot would've sufficed.LOL at implying that you guys are having some effect on me. I have my opinions and they're consistent and listening to Bengal fans here have no impact on them.
Turds like Garvin....Ward....Wallace...Mitchell....Shazier...and the little ***** that bitched about the hit on Bennett....but had a MUCH worse shot on an Eagles player in PRESEASON are the hypocritical douchebags I take issue with....and their corresponding fans.
Captain Obvious gets it....SCS does....and Strictly Biz seems to be getting there. Others? Not so much.
