Seeing as he was unable to handle intelligent conversation, I dropped the matter.
We had a second altercation at Wal-Mart yesterday. He walked by, decked out in lsu garb, so I promptly let him know that lsu blows dogs for quarters. He again responded with, "WOW WHAT A DOUCHE-BAG!" in a very loud manner.
Just today, which is 5-6 months later, I received a message from him via facebook stating, "I'm just glad to see the Tech Bulldogs have a gorilla mascot. Now that's school pride."
Well, this is what I sent him in return:
I am not, nor will I ever claim to be a mascot.
What I do is out of appreciation and respect for my fellow classmates that happen to represent my Alma Mater in athletics. But, seeing as how you don't have that same appreciation or respect for them, I wouldn't expect you to understand that.
I know. "It's a free country. I can wear what I want, support who I want, and blah blah blah blah blah...". This much is true. But, just like any other decision you make, your decision on who you support and what you wear comes with consequences. So...if you decide to support a school you don't attend, and then decide to flaunt that ignorance by disrespecting the athletes that work so hard to represent the school you DO attend, don't be surprised if somebody calls you out on it.
So, you can get pissed off about getting called out (you wouldn't insist on calling me a douche-bag if you weren't irritated about it, and come to think of it, it's a shame you can't come up with something more creative), or you can get over it, move on, be a man, and hold yourself back from facebook stalking somebody that has no interest in carrying on any sort of conversation with someone as thick-headed, ignorant, and disrespectful toward their Alma Mater as yourself.
Good day, sir.
