Cardinals fans respond to World Series loss with racism and conspiracy theories

How about we paint with a little finer brush here? As both a Cardinals fan and a fellow writer for Redbird Rants, this article is shit.

Firstly, the “Baseball’s Best Fans” twitter account is fake. It is designed to give writers like you who are trying to take a shot at the Cardinals and their legitimate fans something to write about. Congratulations for falling for that trap.

Secondly, pulling out two or three of any team’s worst fans and what they say on twitter is going to result in some pretty poor comments. Should I have written something about the Red Sox fans after Game 3? I’m sure that there were some phenomenal tweets. But no, only people lacking class would do that, because every team has half-hearted, douchebag fans who don’t understand the game and refuse to have tact. That goes for all 30 teams. Choosing those few as your chosen sample to represent all of Cardinal Nation is insulting and simply poor journalism.

Thirdly, this article is not entitled “Some Cardinals Fans Respond to World Series Loss with Racism and Conspiracy Theories” (note the capitalization, I’m sorry that your prestigious journalism degree failed to cover proper capitalization of titles, so I’ll help you out). It is entitled simply “Cardinals Fans . . . ” et cetera. This incorrectly implies that this was the reaction of all Cardinal fans, which is misleading, dishonest, and factually incorrect.

I admit that I was sad to see my team lose last night, but I did not respond with either racism or conspiracy theories, and I do blame my team’s lack of offense. I am not here because I am bitter about a loss, but because your so called “journalism” is crap that you dredged up from the lowest and basest parts of the internet. There would have been no article about inappropriate twitter comments from Boston fans had the Cardinals won, and it wouldn’t have been for lack of inappropriate comments.

In closing, I am both unimpressed and insulted by your article. It should not have been published.

im very happy the worst team in baseball lost last night i threw a party after they lost and it was a great party.

As a Cardinal fan, I would never stoop to such a low level as this. I know nearly all other Cardinals would not either. Just because 1 or 2 “Cardinal fans” are idiots doesn’t mean all Cardinal fans are this way. Many people consider Cardinal fans “the best fans in baseball” because nearly all of us have class. This twitter account does not even remotely represent the majority of Cardinal fans. This article is ridiculous.
