My public humiliation in front of NFL stars for being a rams fan

by revrue914 on Oct 25, 2011 9:35 PM CDT

What's up fellow Rams fans. I haven't posted anything in a long time but I thought you guys might get a laugh out of this. My wife and I work/attend at a church in the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex area where Cowboys players like Jason Witten, Demarcus Ware, Kenyon Coleman, Texas Rangers CF Josh Hamilton and Anaheim Angels OF Vernon Wells attend. Tonight was a fall festival(christian version of halloween) and my wife and son dressed up as football players. I wore my Steven Jackson Jersey and she wore her Troy Aikman jersey (obviously she's a cowboy fan) and Demarcus Ware and Kenyon Coleman were both there hanging out, and they noticed I was wearing a Rams jersey and started cracking up!!! Not only do I get all sorts of crap for being a rams fan and wearing their apparel in Cowboy land, but now I'm getting laughed at by the players themselves at a CHURCH event....

Rams loyalty = public humiliation but as painful and agonizing as it is watching this awful team play on Sundays, I still love my Rams!

Amen Brother

Been through this Sh!t for many years. Still wear my Rams sweatshirt to work and had a Cowboy fan at work say in a somewhat raised voice " Now there goes a true fan". Almost made me feel good.

Everyone at work offers to buy me a seahawks hat

I just keep asking who they are, and they laugh.

Wouldnt you laugh after Demaro's game?

They might have just been reminded of something hilarious from when Murray was eating us alive. What? The players can’t laugh at the league laughing stock? If they attend his church, they probably know him a bit and might just be giving him a hard time. Sorry, didnt mean to rant

I know your church. I grew up going to St. Rita at LBJ-Tollway. Used to see Roger Staubach all the time.

I'd laugh when they lost due to the poor play of R(h)omo either during the playoffs or just before

Everyone has a cross to bare in life

unfortunately yours is heavier than most. I can’t blame them for laughing. Hell you should of just worn a Cubs jersey to the event. Maybe they of mercy killed you then.

I'd hit anyone in the face who disrespects issac.

There is a line between wearing a GSOT player’s jersey vs the current Rams. Issac would whoop any receiver Atlanta had to offer

I'm more stunned by the douchebaggery of the players.

Laughing at the Rams, but the Cowboys haven’t done crap in even longer.

I feel your pain

My own kids give me crap and now my grandkids ask me why i am a Rams fan. All i can say is thats my team and they always will be :)

I feel the pain

I live in Northern California, and I am constantly having to listen to both Raider and 49er fans give me crap.
The problem is that I have the NFL ticket, so the majority of the guys roll to my pad to watch games on Sunday. I have no where to go after each lose and have to dodge jabs left and right. The only advantage is that I know more about each of their teams than they do.
However, we gotta keep rolling with the punches and in the great words of Mr. Joe Dirt…
“Keep on Keeping on!”
Come on Rams, hook a brother up with a W!

In sacramento!

Been to several games at “the Stick” and the Oakland Coliseum. It has been tough to go to a forty-whiner/Rams game in some time. When the guys roll over to BBQ and watch the game, its my buddy and I sporting Rams gear. The rest are still trying to figure out the meaning of life with their crappy 9ers jerseys. One of the homies even sports a “Starter” jacket from when he was in 8th grade….makes it hard to hate on him.
