Top 9 Annoying things said by Butt Hurt UAAP/NCAA Basketball Fans After a Loss

5, 4,3,2,1, BUZZZZ! The game is over and your team lost. You now look at your fellow UAAP/NCAA fans (especially fans of the team that beat you), in a hostile suspicious manner as if they took your wallet. You now go online to rant about how unfair that call was, how the commission is conniving against you, and how there seems to be a conspiracy theory.  IF this is you then congratulations you are a butt hurt college basketball fan, and this article is for you.

Here are the Top 9 Annoying things said by people like YOU.

9.) Tangalin na sa team si insert name of player

Yes he may have lost the game, but everybody makes mistakes. Give the kid a damn break. A good example of this is the online hate that UST player Aljon Mariano received after losing the UAAP finals to DLSU.

8.) Win or Lose its the School we choose!

This is a sweet overused line said by many schools. If its for loyalty sake I get it, if its part of your school hymn I get it, but if you really look into it, it gets annoying. It does not make any sense, so are you saying that some people are willing to change schools just because of a Basketball game?

7.) Eh ano ngayon? Mas mataas naman ranking ng University/college namin

Relevance? This has nothing to do with the game and you are too butt hurt to admit defeat and congratulate the other team, thus you degenerate into this “pataasan ng ihi” quarrel. Please don’t say this anymore, the more you say the more butt hurt you look.

6.) Busy sila sa kakaaral eh

Then that means your players are terrible student athletes because they cannot excel in both academics and athletics. Also are you inferring that athletes from other schools don’t take care of their academics? The last time I checked, UAAP/NCAA schools have grade requirements for their athletes, they may not be Cum Laude standing, but they fulfill their requirements. This line is usually said by Universities with a brainy image (ehem UP). Princeton is one of the most august institutions in the world; their athletes don’t make this dumb excuse, and neither should you.

Basketball? bleh, nagaaral sila eh. Cheerdance? Game the fuck on!!!

5.) Hintayin niyo ang Cheerdance

Relevance? The Cheerdance competition has nothing to do with the recently concluded game in which you lost. Again another “Pataasan ng Ihi” quarrel.

4.) Mayaman kasi kayo eh

Again irrelevant, yes some teams have sponsors with deep pockets (ehem ehem La Salle and Ateneo). But we all know that the score starts 0-0. Shut up and give credit where it’s due.

3.) The UAAP/NCAA commission is out to get us.

Usually said by fans of powerhouse basketball teams (such as La Salle, San Beda, and Ateneo) who are on the losing side of a bad call. Bad calls happen, the players may change, the rules may change, but bad calls will always happen. What’s ironic is that if they benefit from a bad call they shut up and pretend its all fair.

2.) Nagpatalo lang kami kasi naawa kami sainyo

Edi sinong tanga?

1.) Luto

This two syllable word is really an atom bomb of a way to bury one’s reputation. These people question the honor of the officials some even go further to question the integrity of their own players. STOP IT! You are just exacerbating the situation, the last thing your University community needs is a bitter sense of resentment.   

Being a ref in the UAAP is a lose-lose situation

Tips to butt hurt UAAP/NCAA Basketball fans

1.) Do not complain: Yes bad calls happened, and the more you complain the more butt hurt you will look.

2.) Congratulate the winner: I know it hurts deep inside, but you have to move on and give credit where it’s due.

3.) Don’t give up on your team: Giving up on your team is worse than taking it all in the ass; it shows that you’re nothing more than a fair weather fan who just wants to be on the winning side of things. Continue to support your team! A withdrawal of fan support can have an impact on their performance and may result them in losing more games.

Author’s Note: I only placed 9 entries because a Top 10 is so overdone and I didn't want to rip off the retiring David Letterman. Yes this is my piss poor attempt at originality (wait, ohh crap); at least it ain’t as bad as this. And yes the Pedantic Cynic’s Top 9 will be an ongoing series for this blog.
