OT: FSU players had their cars keyed and tires slashed

Submitted by East German Judge on

This is incredible, the Seminoles win 29 straight games and a NC, but lose a game and their fans go nuts:

No doubt that the Tallahassee PD will be all over this.  Great quote from the article, "But as we’ve all seen on Twitter, the Florida State fans aren’t always the most reasonable and logic fans so maybe this is on me for being shocked  by this behavior."  There was a thread about dumbest fanbases, Seminoles' fans may need to be on top.  Can't they be more civil and just burn couches!

Reminds me of the scene from Friday Night Lights where Billy Bob Thornton's character comes home after a loss to find For Sale signs stuck in his front lawn.  Disgusting.

This is a poorly written article with one persons tweets as evidence. No information on how many cars were vandalized or the motives. Is it possible that those players whose cars were vandalized may have had some enemies for reasons other than just a fan reaction to the game? Is it possible they were just randomly vandalized? Let's not throw an entire fan base under the bus based on such limited information. Well, at least don't throw them under the bus for this specific accusation.

Well...since I used this event as my raison that Noles fans should be included on the list of dumbest fans in the earlier post, I feel obligated to dismiss your attempts at journalistic integrity out of hand.

It doesn't really matter if it actually happened - it's an Internet meme now, so it's an accepted part of popular culture.

You need to let go of this 20th Century need to verify everything. In the social media culture of our times if it's "published" - no matter how tenuous the source - then it's real. Ergo Noles fans are idiots and belong on the list of Dumbest Fans!

Glass houses, everyone....

Remember Michigan players have not always covered themselves in glory, especially recently, and our fans are not always the most rational either at times. Myself included

Ahhh the seemy underbelly of College Football.  People take this shit way to seriously.  Losers live vicariously though whatever team the allege to "support".  Sad.

Of all the papers, the Los Angeles Times did a little digging - LINK

Per their article, reports were filed by two FSU employees regarding the vandalism, but there's no clear timeline for when this actually took place, per the investigating officer. Given that the campus police are involved in Tallahassee, logic dictates that this will get talked down to vehicular malfunction and the now flat tires and scratched panels will be ticketed but not get points on their license.

Most fair-weather fans in college sports are FSU and Miami.  Doesn't really surprise me, even if it turns out that at least some on the vandalism was done by rival fans.
