I've been seeing this fan wars between 2 sets of fans who demean other players for the sake of proving that the player they are a fan of is the best in the world.
And apparently, the latest one has been Rahul Dravid v Sachin Tendulkar.

We can all be fans of cricketers/politicians/actors. The problem comes when we have to fight with another set of fans to prove someone is mightier than the other. Thats the biggest problem. But I see another pattern emerging here which in itself is another type of fanboyism (2/n)
Since yday, there have been a few accounts on my TL that has ridiculed the fan war. Rightly so. But they dont stop there. They're further ridiculing Dravid because he's being compared with sachin & how is that even fair is their point. How is this in itself not a fanboyism? (3/n)
If you're not a fanboy, just call out such fan wars & tell its ridiculous to compare players & talk this way. But instead you say "how can sachin even be compared with xyz", "xyz had such a batting style that cant be compared with sachin's", you're also ridiculing xyz. (4/n)
This is again a fanboyism in its own way & doesn't make it better than the ones that already exists & you guys aren't any better than the guys you're calling out for being fanboys. PS, this thread isn't because xyz is my account's dp. Thats why I've used xyz. It's common for all.
