once again begging everyone to learn the difference between “parasocial” and “ignoring/breaking boundaries and etiquette”

the start and end of rpf discourse is that if you don’t like it don’t engage with it. it’s been around longer than some of u have been alive and it’s not going away bc u think u have moral standing over something no one is forcing u to engage with

me with hockey the time i went to see the @BuffaloSabres play and the border guards grilled me on why i was going to buffalo of all places 😭😭😂
being an international fan of an nba team from a random city must be so strange, like imagine travelling to america and having to go out of your way to visit ‘oklahoma city’ or ‘cleveland’

New hockey fans are far too hung up on the pressures of choosing a favorite team and forgetting there is a far more important choice to make. Who will you hate? Let your hatred guide you to your new fandom.

If I say “I’m gonna read this book soon,” please know that “soon” could mean tonight or 2029.

i am the number one supporter of being able to boo during sports as a fan but you obviously will face consequences if seen doing it in your work uniform, during your work duties, at a podium celebration. like???

the fans saying there was nothing wrong with the video have clearly never worked a job where you have to follow a very strict code of conduct. of course you can’t be seen booing someone in your team uniform! professional rules exist in the adult world 😭
We’re aware of the video from the weekend’s podium. It doesn’t reflect our team’s values or the spirit of VCARB. The matter has been handled internally. We believe in celebrating great racing and showing respect to every driver, team, and fan both on and off the track.
