Lance McAllisters valid questions

98% of the fanbase could be completely realistic in their expectations and attitude towards the team (I know the number is much smaller in reality, it's just an example), but the 2% will look like the majority if those are the only people you're hearing. Do you really think anyone involved in the media is reading these boards on a regular basis and making their conclusions based on a message board of mostly down to earth people? Not a chance! They hear the morons that scream the loudest, and those morons usually come in the form of hanging bed sheets on bridges, spending their day Tweeting horrible things about our players/coaches, and generally not knowing much about the game of football to begin with. Those are the people that represent 100% of fanbases because they're always the most noticeable and they put themselves out there to be seen.

There are thousands of realistic Bengals fans, but the fanbase doesn't get painted in that manner because the hundreds are louder. All it takes is one idiot on Twitter to send an all caps message to someone in the media about how Andy sucks and the team is going to lose every game because we suck, and that becomes "what Bengals fans think", instead of "what some moronic Bengals fan on Twitter thinks".
