It's a good thing that Celtic Pride was produced because the film makes a mockery of the diehard, rabid sport fans who come out
of every nook and cranny like fucking cockroaches.
Pick any sport of whatever level whether it's football, basketball, soccer, baseball, wrestling, or hockey. Every one of them
has them all. They're annoying, dumb, and narrow-minded because their lives must revolve around the sport. When the
event comes, it's so, so, so important that they have to be there or see the game.
Nothing is more sickening than a fan who thinks that he won when his team captured a championship or making an excuse why it
lost. Well, guess what? The loser wasted 100% of his time and money following the team and playing virtually no role.
At the same time, he feels the need to trash-talk to others like he's a big fucking man with a big fucking set of
balls. He's always an armchair quarterback to explain how the game should be played in spite of not
recording a single minute in professional sports.
Also, he has paid thousands of dollars for tickets, pictures, autographs, and other sport memorabilia. Does
this sound weird when he has at least ten framed pictures of athletes in his house if he has no personal relationship with
any of them? In the mind of this numbskull, Super Bowl Sunday should be declared a national holiday. Now, I wonder why he
isn't involved with professional sports. Ah, yes. The answer is clear: he...is...a...fucking...loser.
Celtic Pride confirms everything that I've said. It has some funny parts but is dumb and lame for the most part.
The characters of Dan Aykroyd and Daniel Stern are pitiful and unlikable. Damon Wayans doesn't do much to generate
laughs, and I don't feel anything for his character. The kidnapping angle is illegal and will result in felony charges. As
stupid as the final outcome is, it's unrealistic.
All in all, if you're a diehard sport fan, you better take a long and hard look at yourself and decide whether or not you're
that fucked in the head.
