I am a lifelong St. Louis Cardinals fan, and as excited as I am to see them reach the World Series (again), there is a Twitter account doing great work showcasing how dumb Cardinals fans can be. Actually, it’s all sports fans, but we’ll focus on Cardinals fans for now.
Baseball’s Best Fans (@BestFansStLouis), an account that finds and re-tweets the worst reactions to Cardinals games, is becoming a household name during the push towards the World Series. While this account is not the only one on Twitter, it strengthens the case for Missouri outsiders calling Cardinals fans claiming they are the best in baseball. Imagine what would happen if Boston makes the World Series: Red Sox fans versus Cardinals fans in the Fall Classic!
Any time tweets like the following are sent out, non Cardinals fans have every right to smile. Some of the thoughts below are beyond low, and as a Cards fan, I do not endorse these.
Magic Johnson got AIDS , his son gay, & he owns the dodgers … his life sucks right now.

Homophobia, take one.

I love how everybody sucks Puig's dick all season and says how good he is and the guy can't even field a fucking baseball ??

Major homophobia, part two.
I think you get the idea. I also need to say that a similar account can be made for every other sports franchise in every other sport. I find it amazing that these tweets, as well as hundreds more, are vomited from the fingers of anyone, especially homophobic slurs from a state reeling from a now-public alleged rape story from Maryville, Missouri.
Please note, readers: Anything you post on social media will come back to haunt you. Once a tweet, post, or message is made public, someone will make sure it is never made private or forgotten. Think before you type. That also applies to those of you wanting to shame the idiots above. Their bad decisions will be handled justly and swiftly (people lose jobs over stuff like this).
Major thanks to BestFansStLouis for allowing use of these tweets.
