heartwarming.

it acknowledges the whole "he is still with us" in a active way.

i hope my funeral is just a bunch of cunts roasting my corpse and having a great time about it.

“Yeah I hate the dead guy’s favorite football team, but I showed up because I respected the hell of it him”

Kind of a deeper honor.

Very. I expect Emacs heckling from Vi enthusiasts at my funeral.

it's like when the sick kid dies and the only kid who razzed him at school gets invited to the funeral because he's the only one who made him feel like he was having a normal childhood. part of the human experience is gentle heckling.

i think booing someone's favorite sports team at their funeral honors your relationship to them if that was part of it.

I aspire to have my funeral wind up like the church scene in the first Kingsman movie.

Yeah, I'm not a huge sportsball fan but if someone did that at my funeral, I sure as hell wouldn't haunt them from the grave over it

I went to open ice out in long island as a kid, and a couple Islanders showed up, and signed my Rangers jersey. Dad jokingly locked the front door and wouldn't let me in when I got home.

That's almost as silly as the local football hooligans not wanting to pronounce their rival towns name so they jusy say the last half.

If someone boo'd the Packers at my dad's funeral, I would have laughed as I think most of my family and friends would have too.

Yeah exactly what I was thinking. It was probably in jest

In my experience, a situation like this would probably be in jest by someone the deceased knew and had a friendly disagreement about sports teams with.

Usually, when family or loved ones disagree about the team they support, it just leads to gentle ribbing. It's all in good fun.

everything is sports just as much as everything is politics when you live in a world where people treat their own political faction as a sports team they root for rather than a sports team they are on
