If resorting to Stooler fan tactics is how you enjoy the win...
[SANCTIMONY: Feigned piety or righteousness]
You also presume this isn't an enjoyable facet of the win, the "vitriol."
You ignore the irony, too, which many people enjoy.
And the idea that I am "stooped" or "resorting" is likewise your baggage, not mine.
So stop it. Stop thinking somehow you're better than a fan who tells a Stooler fan to shut his stupid fu@&ing face and eat his plate of goddamn "same old Bengals" crow. It's earned; it's deserved; and it's really quite fun.
Again, there's nothing sanctimonious about what I said. If you perceive any "feigned piety or righteousness" then that's your baggage. I cheered the loudest in a sports bar filled with Pittsburgh fans and made sure they heard me. I don't like the Steeler fans' behavior and I don't like it when we stoop to their level. If you agree to disagree, that's totally fine. But to perceive that I think I'm better than you is just a wrong perception. Since I don't like the Steeler fans' behavior, I don't like behaving the same way as them. Otherwise, there's no point when people complain about Steeler fans. That's my thought and I expressed it. I am also the guy that cheered on T.J wiping the terrible towel on his cleats.
You're a bengal fan like me, no one is any better here than anyone else.
Having said all that, the Bengals won in Pittsburgh, and I couldn't be more thrilled.
