[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 7107045, member: 15700"] Dude, WTH is up with this hostile response? I wasn't claiming to be super special or anything, only that huge sports fans that are also huge gamers are pretty rare. And they (we) are. I am the only one in my group who is, and I can walk into my FLGS right now with all the people playing their CCG matches and say, "Man, I hope the Seahawks don't trade Sherman" and would be met with either blank stares, or be totally ignored. If I say that in a sports bar, watch the heck out because I've just lit the tinder box. Likewise, if I go into a sports bar and yell, "4e sucks, it's not real D&D" nobody would pay attention to me, or know what the hell I'm talking about. As an aside, I am about done with the term "snowflake". I am at the point that whenever I hear someone say that, I immediately judge them. I am so tired of constantly hearing that, because it's almost exclusively used in the context of someone insulting someone else while trying to imply that if they disagree with the offensive thing you just said, it's [I]their [/I]problem and not yours for being the one who said the offensive thing.
