At least some of that could be is coping with disappointment. You've heard of people relating to others who are so afraid of being rejected that they sabotage the relationship by doing the rejecting first. They control the situation to avoid what they fear. What you describe is just like that. If you predict and talk up a letdown, then you aren't let down if it does actually happen again. You said it yourself, everyone is different and while what you describe might seem odd, it is actually a scientific thing so it does make sense in a way. If this is how they process, and it's not against the board rules, then this is how they process. No skin off my back.
Haha maybe so.
I doubt all of them are doing that though.
I think some hate Jerry so much they can’t really pull for any aspect of the team, although they say they do.
Some probably are heading off disappointment like you’re talking about… although those people probably have bigger problems than football…
Some undoubtably are rival fans here to rain on everything Cowboys talked about in here. Or at least to bother Cowboys fans. I’ve talked to several fans of other teams (in real life) who say it isn’t the Cowboys they hate… it is the Cowboys fans they can’t stand.
Some I think, find it more important to get laughs or likes at their sarcastic, cynical takes and just keep posting that way.
So basically, it is one big mix. The only one’s that I even pay much attention to are the rival fans clearly here impersonating Dallas fans. You know the ones that say the Eagles (or whatever team) are great and stick up for their franchise and players no matter what and then say everything Dallas does is crap. It is transparent and will usually get called out.
Those guys are there on every football forum in the United States… they’re just usually banned after they’ve been figured out. Here, there are so many because they haven’t been kicked out so they’ve built up over time.
Anyway, I pretty much ignore those types but I certainly understand other’s calling those guys out. Like I said, I never get called out for being negative when I am. It is the guys who seem to despise everything Dallas that get these kinds of posts about them, and frankly it is warranted.
