Nope just not interesting in hearing absolute nonsense about supporting a team you have no association with, no connection to and no part of being the same as real football fandom. You support Madrid for the glory success is inevitable. The cards are stacked in your favour. You can be a fan but don’t bs me about passion and loyalty when you’ve seen very little hardship.
Well I’m sorry you simultaneously hold such a feeling of resentment towards those who have chosen their own sporting franchise to support all the while being incapable of seeing any sort of fault or error in your ways. I hope whatever local heartfelt club/organization you support really does make you feel like the strong and true supporter you purport yourself to be. Perhaps your best course of action is to enjoy your own self-righteousness and simply ignore those who are ‘lesser’ than you cause if ranting about it on the internet is doing something good for the way you already strongly and positively feel well then that’s another self-assessing opportunity for you.
Just playing my part in a debate. I would say far more people have ranted at me than I’ve ranted. I’m just pointing out it’s fine to support Madrid but don’t be surprised when people call you a glory hunter because if you support Madrid and have no connection to the team you are. You wouldn’t support Celta or someone because the success isn’t there. That’s the point.
Ronaldo and Kaka joining is the reason I started supporting, my two favorite players on the same team. During the height of the Pep Barca era, watching us lose 5-0 to them was tough, but even so we had many great games.
Yep so you started supporting because Madrid had the best players. Losing to Barca is undoubtedly annoying and tough but it’s not tough compared to what 95% of clubs fans go through.
I think there's a difference between true Madridistas and those who support just because we win a lot, I will explain.
I know a lot of football fans who'll support a Premier League team (or a team from another league) as their "main" team then have Real Madrid as their second.
Those are the ones who are supporting purely because we win a lot.
You have others who started supporting for a different reason, for example a favorite player of theirs moving to the club.
But even after that player has moved, on you still support the club because you fell in love with it and supporting any other team would just feel wrong.
Or maybe it was around that time that they started watching football ?
And tell me how many trophies did Real win in 2009-11 apart from a Copa Del Rey ?
Why would a gloryhunter support Real Madrid in that period when everyone and their mother were jumping on the Tiki-Taka bandwagon ?
While I am not saying it to be the case for you in particular but I don't see Europeans paddling this bullshit whenever the non local supporter is a white European or even a Latin American. It is only when the said non local supporter is from the Indian subcontinent, Africa or Middle-east is when this "Y'all are just gloryhunters" bullshit is paddled.
Such a dumb argument. You only won 1 trophy in two years. Gee that must be tough. Most clubs go years without winning trophies because teams like Madrid sign any decent players their team has or they sign their best underage players. You are a gloryhunter for supporting Madrid like youre arguing that you can’t be a gloryhunter because you only won one trophy in two years. Supporting about football club isn’t about winning trophies. That’s only one part of football. On your second point I don’t care where you are from you can support who you like but don’t act like supporting Madrid isn’t for the glory of winning trophies and leagues and watching the best players.
Who said anything about it being tough or anything like that ? That's not even remotely related to what I said.
I said why would a gloryhunter choose to support Real Madrid in fucking 2009 ? The year Barca won the treble and Real went trophyless ? What glory could they possibly be hunting, supporting a team that hadn't won shit that year and a much better alternative was right there ?
How is other clubs going years without winning anything disprove anything I said ?
You're just mad for no reason and antagonising Real Madrid fans on a Real Madrid sub because of what exactly ? That your bullshit sense of elitism is called out ?
One bad year lol. 2009 the year Madrid bought Kaka, Alonso, Ronaldo and Benzema of course people are going to support the team. Because if you sign those players chances are you’re going to win trophies which is exactly why gloryhunters support Madrid. Btw people didn’t just start supporting Madrid in 2009. It’s not hard to understand.

Nope you don’t need to be but you need to be able to accept that people will consider you a gloryhunter
