I don't read BigFooty that often and can't recall the last time I visited the Bay 13 forum. Just looked today to see if here was anything worth reading and noticed this thread. I had no idea what it was about but after reading the last few pages I think I get the rationale for it.
It's to attract & appeal to the select number of opposition clubs' bogans and imbeciles who are are frustrated by the fact North Melbourne is a genuine football team with a fantastic spirit and continue to thrive in the AFL.
It gives these brain dead cretins a small window of opportunity to forget their own meaningless existence for five minutes by jumping on here to slag off at North. I guess it gets their jollies up; maybe even a rare rush of blood to the genitalia that probably hasn't seen much action for a while.
For that, the Bigfooty administrators are doing the community a great service. Without this outlet, god only knows what would become of the morons - you know the ones the clubs worry about when the team goes through a bad patch. This thread goes a small way to preventing the self harm a lot of them resort to.
