Guardian Sports Journo Cannot Take Abuse

April 30, 2011 in Cultural Analysis

Please don't throw asterisks at me!

Are you happy with yourselves, Guardian readers watching Chelsea and ‘Spurs play rich man tag in the English Premier football league thing? You’ve went and made Rob Smyth cry like a little baby BECAUSE YOU CALLED HIM AN “A*HOLE” whatever that is. “Aphole”? “Ashole”? “Achole”? Anyway – Rob Smyth shouldn’t have to take this sort of abuse via the email, you know. He’s a dick.

    Please tell delicate Rob to stay off the ice here in ‘Merica because the Bruins and the Flyers are dueling in the playoffs and there is nothing, man or beast, that is as bloodthirsty as a Philly fan. In any sport. They will gut you just to warm their chilly hands.

    As I recall, the Guardian sports journos – whose idea of geography is based on wogs starting in Callais – are real tough when it comes to, say, lying about and beating up on Iker Casillas’s girlfriend

    @ GeodeJane:
    The Flyers are down two games now, and I have two very sad guys in my house. If they don’t get their shit together and win some games, there may be a Flyers jersey pile in the recycle bin next week. And dog help us, the Phillies lost to the effing Mets the other night. Philadelphia – get hold of yourselves before my husband and son have strokes! Tighten the fuck up!

    @ gerbilsinlove:
    I hope your guys are not as rabid as the Philly fans that my brother has witnessed on the job. His primary gig is in Manhattan doing an evening show heralded for its “truthiness”. He does work the occasional professional sporting event. In his experience, the Philadelphia crowd is prone to wildness and physical violence when things don’t go their way.
    Maybe you need a safe room.

    @ GeodeJane:
    Are you somehow related to a staff member for Stephen Colbert? If so can you get my tickets at some point in the future so my Husband and I don’t have to stand on line half the damn afternoon?

    @ Azirel Fallen:
    Honey, I would love to help but I am already a big enough pain in my brother’s ass. I have to call him right now for someone.

    @ GeodeJane:
    LOL I know don’t worry about it,but if Stephen Colbert is who your brother is, I at least would like some insight into his Hilarious mind please.

    @ Azirel Fallen:
    Colbert comes from a big Irish clan. I come from a wee one. We are not siblings.
