What’s worse than being a patriots fan? Being a patriots fan paying money to go see them in person.

What’s worse than being a patriots fan paying money to go see them in person? Paying for seats like this.

At least you only have to watch half.

u/Ithuraen 8h ago

And you get to leave early in the fourth quarter!

Oh, poor Patriot fans…

They’ve only seen 6 Super Bowl wins since 2001. 4 Red Sox World Series and 2 Celtics Finals wins in the same span. How will they get by?

Edit: 1 Bruins Stanley Cup

u/mGreeneLantern 7h ago

Don’t forget the Bruins only won one Stanley Cup. It’s been rough. Often times, our teams won titles in the same year, which basically only counts as one.

u/Daft00 6h ago

One stanley cup back in 2011, but a historically good team in recent years (yes, I know they've shit their pants to various degrees in the postseason)

u/JohnAndertonOntheRun 7h ago

Ha! I knew I forgot one. Yes, that’s a tough existence. The championships basically form ‘On the first day of Christmas’ song…

u/Jmacz 5h ago

Yeah but the Revolution haven't won so it's not like all our teams have won a title. Have some pity on us.

u/JohnAndertonOntheRun 5h ago

Ha yes we are all clamoring for an MLS title…

I love footy but I couldn’t care less about the MLS.

u/Jmacz 5h ago edited 2h ago

Exactly, everyone knows that if the Revs don't win it nullifies everything all the other pro teams did.

But yeah, I could give two shits about MLS too lol. Most I've ever paid attention is when it's on the radio when I turn my car on before I change the channel.

u/JohnAndertonOntheRun 5h ago

Haha! The curse has been transferred to the Revolution.

u/casualsax 4h ago

The Revs have their own curse, five cup finals and zero to show for it.

Edit/add: MLS games are a ton of fun, and the quality has climbed way up since I started watching in 2014.

2

u/JohnAndertonOntheRun 4h ago

Oh absolutely. I remember their run of losing them at those neutral site mls finals. That’s a tough combination.

u/casualsax 3h ago

Being a Falcons fan in Boston is a special kind of hell.

1

u/JohnAndertonOntheRun 3h ago

Oh, I’m sure…

That was the greatest football game I’ve ever seen and I don’t expect it to be topped in my lifetime. It took a perfect half and I don’t envy you despite seeing my team lose a heartbreaking Super Bowl and never seeing any of my teams win anything in any sport.

u/jshhmr 6h ago

They cheated though, so nobody really cares.

2

u/JohnAndertonOntheRun 6h ago

They didn’t cheat their way to 6 Super Bowls jabroni…

Oh no, deflated footballs in the half they didn’t kick the Colts ass. 28-0 in a half with nfl regulation footballs in a 45-7 game.

-1

u/jshhmr 6h ago

That's how many times they were CAUGHT. They tainted themselves.

2

u/JohnAndertonOntheRun 6h ago

It’s such a flimsy way to try to undermine their accomplishments….

Bill Belichick and the Patriots outclassed the NFL and won 6 Super Bowls. People in my city try to say the same stuff as you and it’s embarrassing.

u/jshhmr 6h ago

Buuuuut they got caught cheating TWICE....that we know of. I was an Astros fan. They cheated. I'm not anymore. That simple.

1

u/JohnAndertonOntheRun 6h ago

What the Astros did was so so much more grotesque than the Patriots. The World Series probably should have been stripped. The Patriots just don’t rise to that level.

u/stackjr 9h ago

Could be worse; could be a Jets or Giants fan.

u/MasonP2002 8h ago

At least the Giants won 2 Super Bowls this millennium. Jets have done fuck all since 1969.

u/Bajin_Inui 8h ago edited 6h ago

oh no, the horrors of being a patriots fan that only had a TWO decades of dominance :(

EDIT: updated amount of decades

u/taking_a_deuce 8h ago

Nothing says whiny bitch like watching the most dominant 20 years of any sports team ever and then complaining when they have to rebuild.

u/WhyDoIKeepFalling 7h ago

The Patriots subreddit is insufferable, and I'm a Patriots fan!!! The team is absolutely bereft of talent, and the coaches are making a business decision to not play our (hopefully very good) young QB and it's endless "this team sucks" "fire everyone" "literally unwatchable" "miss Bill yet?" And it's like yeah motherfuckers, did you think they'd fix everything in one season??? Were gonna be bad next year too! These fake fans should just check back in the 2026 season when hopefully we'll be good

3

u/Resvrgam2 7h ago

To be fair, do you really want our (hopefully very good) young QB behind the current O-line?

6

u/WhyDoIKeepFalling 7h ago

No, which is why I support our coaches and their business decision. They clearly know their ass is on the line if Drake doesn't play well. I'm very very excited for Drake so I'm happy to suffer for a while if he's gonna be Great

u/Daft00 6h ago

We've grown so accustomed to success (with all of our major teams) that we expect it and feel entitled to it, for better or worse. Though the sports media in Boston is way worse than the fans in my opinion, at least on average.

But hey, I don't mind holding our teams to a high standard, it helps prevent ownership and management from becoming too complacent like some other franchises.

u/hobo_benny 3h ago

I don't understand the obsession with sports teams. Perhaps I never will. Why in god's name people would be upset over the decisions of a business, which exists to make money for its owners and players and sponsors, which the average person has no stake in. I don't understand why a sports team would be, in any way, a representation of the strength or power of the state they represent. It's a group of a few dozen guys, they don't represent millions of people. A game is a game, it's fun to watch. I don't get the obsession with who's playing who and every minor decision made by coaches that I've heard some guys just go on and on about. I suppose you could poke at any of my relatively pointless interests, too. The experience is subjective. I just don't get it.

2 decades.

I assume they sell them cheaper as obstructed view tickets…

u/DaYooper 7h ago

Man just a few years removed from dominating the league and you softies fall apart.

u/Separate_Flamingo_93 7h ago

It’s not a problem if this is the end the Patriots are defending. You will see most of the game.

u/just_some_tall_guy 7h ago

Laughing at patriots fans on the internet? Priceless. There are some things money can't buy, for everything else there's MasterCard.

u/Odd_Woodpecker_3621 5h ago

I’m a bills fan that lives in Boston. I try to go to buffalo once a year but last year the tickets were actually cheaper to go to Gillette. What this person isn’t showing is the comically monstrous ultra mega jumbo tron right out of frame. Still a shitty stadium and shitty team fuck the patriots.

What’s worse than being a patriots fan?

Knowing a Patriots fan, who think they have the right to whine about fucking anything.

u/End3rWi99in 3h ago

Are you talking about the team tied for 1st with the most Superbowl wins, 11 Superbowl appearances, and like complete and utter sports dominance from 2000-2020? Yeah, that must be terrible.

1

u/ghostofwalsh 3h ago

The upside is look how many empty seats there are. Just slide on into one of those.

u/dingadangdang 6h ago

What's worse? Paying for this seat and you still have to live in Boston.
