Do I Have To "Suck It"?

by BoltBacker21 on Nov 21, 2011 2:56 PM PST

I ask that question because Chargers linebacker, Shaun Phillips tweeted after yesterday's loss, "To all the fake fans suck it cause talking ish won't get us anywhere. How's your perfect life my point exactly." What an idiot! This guy is making millions standing on the sideline with an injury, while his "fake fans" keep paying their money and taking time away from their, "perfect life", just to watch his team play like crap. Mistake after mistake, all season long. Even the wins were unimpressive and against teams with losing records. Apparently, all fans are supposed to be thrilled with losing and kiss the players butts all week long no matter how many screw ups there are during each game. We should be tweeting the players worm and fuzzy thoughts so they can keep their self-esteem up. Give me a break. A real fan has passion for his or her team. A real fan will not tollorate their coach wasting timeouts in the fourth quarter. Real fans will not be okay with a first round running back who can't hold on to the football. Real fans will not sit quietly while a first round draft pick gets torched all day by receivers. A real fan will not appreciate watching the kick return team fall back to last yaers model. That being said, I will add that a real fan will show up again next Sunday and hope for the best. I'll be there at "The Q." next Sunday with my wife and eldest son, praying that I don't have to watch my team blow another winable game. As for Shaun Phillips....he can suck it.Chargers vs Bears coverage

I'd hate to see Phillips in a tough NFL town like Philly

Don't get me wrong,

I’m not going to Phillips defense, but he is probably as frustrated and angry as the rest of us. The problem is that he expects fan support (and a big paycheck) regardless of how he and the team plays. I’ve been a Bolt fan for 40 years and consider myself a ‘real’ fan, but if he expects me to just watch inferior play and losing games and keep my mouth shut so as not to hurt his feelings, he needs to get a thicker skin. If he thinks being a football player is tough, try being a San Diego Chargers fan!

Twitter is a good idea

and it can be used in some really good and informative ways. However 95% of the time it is a waste of the reader and tweeters time.

Who cares?

"Were such things here as we do speak about?
Or have we eaten on the insane root
That takes the reason prisoner?"

He's angry and can't do anything about it

and has pissed off fans sending him pissed off tweets about him and this team so yeah he’s going to lash out. I don’t blame him.

Tweet him back

and ask him how many bonehead plays has this team made that has resulted in them losing a game and/or getting bounced out the playoffs?! When he figures out that answer then maybe he will take his own advice and shut-da-he!! up and become the leader on his team that his physical talent and ability lends itself to
