Re: What shapes your opinion of opposing fan bases?
[ QUOTE ]
honestly, forming a broad opinion of any fan base is like being a racist. every team is going to have some [censored] and idiots, some gentlemen and intelligent fans. you can make broad generalizations (i'm confident royals fans are nicer than yankee fans as a whole), but eventually you learn that you can't tell anything about an individual by what team they cheer for, just like you can't do this based on race, religion, economic status, or any of that.
i left out gender, because all women are crazy. if you discuss this at length with a girl, she will eventually admit it is true.

I disagree. I think you have it backwards. IMO, you can't judge individual fans based on your opinions of a fan base - i.e. just because K State fans are tools and your neighbor down the street is a K St. fan then he must be a tool. That's wrong. But you CAN judge an entire fanbase, based on their actions.
