My hatred for the ravens started a couple of seasons later when my friends' got Skins season tickets. That year we played the steelers in a preseason game. At the game there was a group of 3 or 4 ravens fans sitting a few rows behind us fully decked out in ravens cap - purple camo, face-paint, stupid purple & black wigs - and they were cheering like crazy FOR THE STEELERS! We asked them why they were cheering for their rival and they said it was because of how much they hate the Skins, but they couldn't give a reason for why that was the case. It was insanity.

Over the years I met A TON of ravens fans who were just like that, and so my anti-passion for them grew, especially when I lived in Federal Hill for a year.

Sounds like you've had the misfortune of meeting a whole bunch of fairweather Ravens fans who really need to get their fan card taken away. I worked in downtown Baltimore for two years and ran into a few annoying fans, but not many.

Going with AMD on this one. I have lived in Baltimore for almost 20 years now. It's the unexplainable hatred of the Skins that really just gets to me. Plus, so many I meet are just real jerks.

If you're a Skins fan, how do you piss off a Ravens fan? Just tell them you really don't care if the Ravens win or lose. They HATE that Skins fans don't care that they hate them.
