People are fucking pathetic

A psychology/sociology experiment I'd be interested in reading is why people do this.

I notice when a fan of sports speaks of their favorite team's performance, they tend to us personally inclusive pronouns. I have absolutely no idea if personally inclusive pronouns is even an English term, and I am leaning towards "fuck no", but I'm going with it. It sounds smart. Anyways, I'm talking about using the word 'we' as opposed to 'they'. That's creepy to me and here's why.

When the Braves lost yesterday and the day before, everyone on Braves sites are of course depressing and hari kari-tastic all over the place, but the most common phrase is to the effect "If only WE could (insert something about Andruw Jones giving your grandpa a grim reaper)". Why would anyone say we? You aren't on the fucking team, you aren't in the fucking front office, and you probably don't even cut the fucking grass. Hell, you probably won't even go to a fucking game this year to watch them in person, aka, there is absolutely ZERO contribution you are making to this team other than... I dunno, jerking off to their tight asses in baseball pants and somehow they know and that makes Pete Orr feel sexy? Well that makes you weird.

I know very few douchebags will see this, but next time you talk about your favorite sports team, please don't say "we need this victory", or "we need to dump gatorade on the coach because I'm a happy fairy". It's annoying, and you look like an asshole.

However, there is one and only one exception: international sports competition. The Mexican national soccer team represents a country, so Mexicans are allowed to use 'we' because well, they're all Mexicans. Other teams (except maybe European soccer teams) are private organizations which you don't have a part in no matter how hard you want to relive the glory days of your high school baseball career where you struck out 65 times in 25 games. Loser.

You still look like an asshole.
