Wearing NFL jerseys on gameday = dressing up like Harry Potter for movie premiers

Mind control.

Wearing NFL jerseys on gameday = dressing up like Harry Potter for movie premiers = wearing race t-shirt DURING race

How do you feel about Halloween?

So gays are immature cretins? Bro, you need help.

As for this thread, i do agree grown men should not wear football jerseys unless they are actually playing.

Bump

Happy Super Bowl everybody!!!!

Jerseys should only be made in the actual size the player wears. If it fits, then you can wear it.

beta-male, nazi-female behaviour at its best.

respect yourself and get a life that doesn't involve worship of a marketed product.

Maybe the religious people should get into this. Dress as god or the apostles when they go to church, Ladies dress up as Mary Magdalene, a slutty MM of course. There are a ton of Biblical characters one could adopt as their favorite. Man, why aren't their biblical conventions, like Star Trek? This could be going places.

I'll be wearing my "Brady" jersey to brunch today and then obviously during the game. Then it'll go back into the closet until next season's playoffs. Got to respect the mojo.

My take on the matter wrote:

It's a lot of fun to get together and drink beer and watch a big game, which I do quite often. But I'm amazed how emotional and attached people get to their teams when it really has very little impact in their lives.

You can say that again. I grew up in the south where college football gets people so ramped up you would think the differing sides were in a religious war. I have to say I bought into all of that until I was in my 20's.

It finally dawned on me that whether team X or Y won, I still had to go to work the next day. The moment I realized that I stood to gain exactly ZERO, regardless of the outcome; I became a much happier person.

The reason people fall into this insanity is that they have very simple, sad, lives. They work, eat, sleep and die. They scrape by, they never really accomplish anything, nor do they have the means to really accomplish anything, so they thrust all their ambition, hopes, dreams, on to a football team. This is often a team for school that they couldn't get into nor have ever even visited.

This stuff is classic Roman Bread & Circus stuff. It keeps people happy and distracts them from the dreariness that is every day life.

You must be very sad, zohan.

I sort of agree to a point. I don't own any sports jerseys, though I did when I was a kid. I do have a few Bills t-shirts and a Syracuse U sweatshirt that I will wear to games, or just randomly.

The difference between dressing up like Harry Potter and wearing your team's apparel to a game is that when you're at a game, it's live. The player's can see you. When you're in the Carrier Dome and 30,000 people are wearing orange, it changes the mood of the place. I'm not necessarily saying games are won or lost based on that, but it definitely has an effect.

Harry Potter is the same movie whether it's played in an empty theater or in front of a bunch of ax-murders.

They are similar concepts, but one is considered more socially acceptable and the other is not. Yes, it's hypocritical, but that's the way it is.

If your 12 years old it's OK if you don't have a father to set you straight on something like that. Only other time it's OK is if your a thug, in which case it's your duty to look like a douche.

Most of the people wearing football jerseys at games are closer in ability level to NFL players than pretty much all of you are to pro marathoners yet you wear short shorts and jerseys to races

I always dress up like Michael Phelps on big swim meet days.

Probably not. Most poster here could finish a marathon even if it is slow, while I doubt there are many here that could survive an entire NFL game?

Do you do the full underbite and everything?

Have to laugh when you see some older overweight guy wearing an NFL jersey on gameday trying to recapture the high point of his life when he played HS football and made all league (def one of those guys who 30 years later talks about the big game he played in HS and still plays in a flag football league to make himself feel like he is still an athlete).

But it is even funnier seeing a girl wearing a football jersey
