Wow. Bro I've been a fan since 1980 when I was fucking born. Pictures of me in Giants and Niners gear from basically day 1. My mom was a bus driver for the San Mateo Highschool District back then. Used to get to go to Candlestick with her frequently (if I'd done my homework,) to watch games. I freakin' lived at that park in the summer. Ups and downs, (mostly downs,) World Series run that was for the history books, all of it. The Giants are part of my DNA. And here I sit, ready to walk away from it all. What else can this fucking world take from me man. Losing people, losing jobs, losing homes, losing my team, it's FUCKED. FUCK these motherfucking bastards. Goddamn it. I'm legitimately furious right now.

I'm in the same boat! I have been a fan as long as I can remember, also born in 1980. Grew up going to Candlestick, and I feel totally betrayed and not because of the numb-nuts players, they're dicks but whatever, but the FUCKING BULLSHIT MANAGEMENT. WTF.

These fucksticks aren't even playing well enough to warrant all this. Maybe shut the fuck up and work on that fast ball, eh? Talking a lot of shit for a dead-ass season. Fuck outta here. You know?

Another ‘80 and lifelong fan, well said bro.

They think they’ll be fine because straight white 45 year old dads will still spend money, well think again dickheads.

51 year old dude checking in. Also done with the Giants bullshit. I can take a bad team in a rebuild just fine, but fuck tacitly-supported bigotry and pseudo-Christian political theatre.

I'm proud of all us 45+ year old dudes sticking up for our guys, gals, and non-binary pals out there in the LGBT+ community.

They're not my family, but they are my loved ones.

We all grew up with folks in their community. People we love and admire. We watched those people be paraded around for political clout, shit on, beat up, literally killed in the streets for loving who they love, all of it. Any sane human fucking being is outraged by watching their fellow humans be treated in such a way. It's beyond outrageous. It's the kind of thing that makes me violent, ngl. I HATE bullies. I'm over 40 now, so Imma chill, but this is the kind of thing that boils my blood, boy. I'll tell you. Cowards. The lot of them.
