There are two types of fans in this world:

1.) RIDE OR DIES: consisting of fans who throw opposing team’s home runs back onto the field, burn jerseys of players who abandon their teams, struggle to maintain relationships with friends of rival teams in-season, and would deeply consider trading their wives for a championship.

2.) THIS KID:

In this brief moment, this young Giants fan learned more from Cowboys stud defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence about loyalty, failure, and entitlement than any curriculum could ever convey.

It all went down following the Cowboys 35-17 victory over the visiting Giants. This youth, decked out from head-to-toe in Giants gear, had just watched his team get whacked and was hoping to milk something out of the loss via an autograph from an NFL player.

Lawrence offended many people on Twitter, like this guy, for instance:

The online whining got so bad that Lawrence released a statement of his own, doubling down:

Class dismissed.

The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
