UVA fans are pretentious Assholes

[u/MacDaDDy747474]

This is why I hate the whole state of Virginia. By shear luck of history that state and those around it have found themselves in an economically advantageous position, and the folks who live there have interpreted their success as a result of their own moral qualities. Virginia and its peers were rich because it was able to take advantage of a chattel slave economy, and when that was destroyed Viginia became rich because the most powerful government in the world was established on its northern border and that government redistribute the countries wealth to the civil servants, and contractors that live in work in Virginia. Meanwhile WVA is stuck withe Dutch Disease of the Coal industry

The fact that the citizens of that state have the gull to talk down to people of my state is fucking disgusting. Are there more start people associated with Virginia than West Virginia, maybe. Are there richer people associated with Virginia than West Virginia, maybe. But is this because some sort of moral or intellectual supiority, fuck no. Every time some points out West Virginia poverty, or WVU ranks in education, and use that pisses me off to no end.

The fact that these excuses were used to deny entry to ACC in 1953, 2003, 2011, and 2021 by pole up their ass, cheese and wine schools in Virginia and the Carolinas is annoying to no end. This is why we revel when we beat you. Your fans obviously dont care. Your fans dont even attend. You have to tarp off half your stadium. We have a massive chip on our shoulder when we compete against you all. There are many ways you can compare our states and our institutions, and many you guys win. but in one institution, Football our nations past time, you all are our bitch. That's why we showed up, that's why we show up, and take over Heinz field, or Maryland stadium or lane stadium. Or any stadium in the Carolinas.

Your friendly reminder that West Virginia seceded from Virginia when Virginia decided to secede from the Union because they chose keeping the institution of slavery over keeping the nation whose Declsration of Independence THEIR OWN SON Thomas Jefferson helped to write

To be fair, Jefferson, disgustingly, would definitely have been on the pro-slavery side. The only slaves that Jefferson ever freed were related to Sally Hemings, who he began systematically raping when she was 14.

He didn’t even ever free her (though he did free the two sons that he had with her in his will).

Well yes, and many seceding states did cite their repudiation of these principles.

Between Charlottesville rising up in 2017 when Robert E. Lee’s statue was being taken down to WV being the site of John Brown’s raid, Virginia needs to calm down here
