Two years ago, I had no problem with the Colts. I had just moved to Indy, and while I was still a Browns fan, I didn’t see anything wrong with the Colts doing well.

I don’t think that theory has changed too much, I still love the Browns in all their 4-12 glory, and for the most part, I don’t mind that the Colts are doing well… for the players. The fans? That’s a completely different story.

How the fans of a team that has done so much without doing anything at all feel such a sense of entitlement, I don’t know. But they’re pricks. Maybe not all of them, but the majority of Colts fans that I’ve come across are unbearable, and not just on Sundays. Your team has done NOTHING. Be happy with your wins, sure, but to walk around like the shit running down your legs each January doesn’t stink is getting old.

I’ve mostly kept these thoughts to myself, or at least away from the blog, but Tuesday’s paper changed my mind. There’s a daily section in the Indianapolis Star called “Let It Out”. Mostly, it’s just a bunch of idiots bitching about other idiots and the other idiots bitching back. But it’s usually pretty amusing in a “get a freaking life” sort of way. And I can also imagine it’s a great way for stoned college kids to blow off an afternoon, since there’s a voice mail line set up to submit your frustrations. It’s almost as fun as the police blotter in the BG News, actually.

Anyway, on Tuesday, Election Day, when thoughts should have been on national and state pride and whether or not Julia Carson was going to stay awake for her 11pm news interviews (and by “stay awake”, I mean “keep breathing”), Colts fans filled “Let It Out” with this blabber.

I understand blind faith in your team. I understand that the Colts fans’ list of rivals is as long as my leg because they tend to hate whatever team knocks them out of the playoffs. But have they ever heard of stones and glass houses? Even if you can make it through the bulk of the list without rolling your eyes, any group that wants to make that Mellencamp song our national anthem deserves to be detained. I think you’ll all agree.
