As we near the end of the collegiate football and professional seasons we see teams enjoying the ecstasy of victory and the agony of defeat--but this always spills over into their fans. Sports Illustrated recently published an article naming the New England Patriots fans as the biggest crybabies in the NFL. Even if you agree or disagree with their findings, its kind of fun to debate the question.
Now that we are approaching the beginning of the collegiate tennis season we are also hearing all the talk about "who will win", "who will lose", "who got the best recruits" and then we also hear all the preemptive excuses about why a team or players might not win. Here are some of the excuses we frequently hear:
* The courts were too slow and only pushers win on slow courts.
* He hits like a girl and I can't play against a guy like that.
* She must be a man.
* Their crowd is out of control.
* The sun was too bright.
* The wind was blowing.
* She cheats.
* The official didn't like me.
* My coach is inept.
* My Mother stifled my creative development when I was growing up.
* My Dad actually wanted me to play football but I am a girl.
* Everyone knows she's not a 3.0 player.
I thought it might be fun to take a survey of our own. Check out the poll on the top right and then register your vote.
Hope everyone has a fantastic Christmas...

This is a no-brainer. Based on recent history, there is only one school which outshines all others in the crybaby category. But we have been banned from mentioning them in any conversation, so only those insiders know who they are. If not, then just do a Google search and it will become obvious.
Even the LGBT understands. Simply search Google for "slang for (FILL IN THE BLANK ANIMAL)" and see for yourself.
You need to start a pole showing which teams have resulted in the most Rule Change due to their questionable ethics.
