Syracuse Lacrosse Players Read Comments From Insane Syracuse Fans

Stay connected for news and updates

This is hauntingly beautiful.

Syracuse lacrosse fans are, for the most part, sociopaths. This is an unmitigated universal truth. A 20-plus consecutive Final Four streak and almost a dozen national championships have had a unique impact on Central New York's Orange partisans: It has melted their collective minds and made the residue leak from their ears. With the advent of the Internet computing machine -- a Syracuse treasure since it was introduced to the area in 1997 (I think) -- emotionally and mentally unstable Orange fans now have at their disposal a broad way to ignore normalized social behavior and engage in bonkers theory on a worldwide basis: Ruining the comments section of newspaper websites with hyperbolic fits of insanity ("OBAMACARE!!!!!!!!!!").

This is Syracuse lacrosse's response to unleashed animals. My favorite moments from the video:

  • JoJo Marasco speedreading a comment -- "Since Army wupped SU at home a couple years back watching SU lax is like viewing a video loop of the Zeppelin Hindenburg disaster" -- then making that Jim Halpert "Are you serious?" face to the camera.
  • "Working for Syracuse.com we get mean comments all the time." Yes, this is all about you, Katrina. Move it along, fungible-Internet-content-producer.
  • The "In Memoriam" piano music playing over some fine examples of people vomiting on the Internet. (The comment about where parity has hit Syracuse lacrosse is especially poignant.)
