Thumbs down Miami Fans Suck

These morons show up for that stupid "pep rally" they held at the arena after they signed Lebron and Bosh, but they STILL dont show up for the actual freakin games. Last night, once again, I watched a Miami game where there were empty red seats all over the arena. Funny, but the better the seats, the more vacancy there appears to be.

These folks are not worthy to have the best player in the game in their house night in and night out. For the record, I have been to Miami twice in the last decade to watch the Patriots play the Dolphins and I was amazed at how non-threatening and quiet their football fans were. No real home court/field advantage in this city.

Well a few main reasons for this

1. There are just not many (especially my age) of born and raised Floridians so you don't have people raised life long Dolphin fans like you do in Ny, Boston, Chicago, etc. Those people and fans move to Florida because it's a great place to live and they bring their teams with them. The Dolphins have loyal fans though

2. The Heat are a little different because they are a newer team but a lot of the same. You have Knicks fans, Celtics fans, etc all living in Florida

3. The corporate BS for the Heat is ridiculous. They buy up all the tickets, maybe show up late 2nd quarter but they not basketball fans. They are "look at me" fans.

So you won't see those normal packed stadiums for the Pacers or teams that don't bring that National" excitement unless the game means something.

When the games mean something they are as loud and loyal as anyone. They are a lot of bandwagon fans though.

As far as not worthy, that I will disagree with but can't argue with most anything else although there are good reasons why that's the case.

Oh and the Panthers - same as above but we are NOT a hockey place and the Marlins had born and raised fans but guys like Huzienga, Henry and Loria have ruined all of that by blowing up World Champion teams on more than one occasion.
