and actually, it was your anti-college ball arguments (I think it was you) that made me realize i was being an elitist prick...because I thought you (or whoever it was) was being an elitist prick about basketball.

so i wasn't watching the union because "fuck that, they couldn't complete two passes in a row. I want that tiki-taka!" but once i recognized my fandom of barca and spain (by extension) could be due to how that style and that fan base inspired my interest in a sport i hadn't really cared about before, that didn't mean I had to tie myself only to that one reason to root for a team. the union's on TV here, they've got some decent young players, a stout backline, and now a coach who might have a halfway decent strategy to maximize their talent. I'm kinda intrigued to become at least a casual fan.

but i don't want to be a "son of ben" because it's so forced. like, goddamit, you're a philly team...how the fuck do you not use Philly anthems for your music? I know people like the "doop" thing and all, but imagine if their intro had been:

i know, that's not the demographic they're going for blah blah blah, but i bet 5k coulda gotten a changed verse or something.

seriously...20k people screaming "PHILLY PHILLY! PHILLY'S WHERE WE'RE FROM!" would be ill.

union. period.

oh well.
