To all those who follow me and to all those who appreciate what I’ve started, no matter what team you support, I thank you all so much. When I started Madridista Logic I truly wanted to get my views out there about fan radicalism, but in a comedic way. Additionally, I wanted this to catch on and it has since FCBlogic has been created and hopefully more will spawn. But, when I made this, I knew it would be temporary. I knew at some point I’d have to back down from running this blog, whether it be months, weeks, or in my case, a simple 5 days.

You see, running a blog is hard work, especially one where you create original works. I have a personal blog, but that is pretty easy as you all probably know. I start school soon, go back to work, reconnect with friends, and this blog will suffer if I continue to run it. And, I love this blog. I love this idea and I love laughing and that is what this blog is meant to enduce: laughter. Not hatred, not anger. As I’ve stated a lot, this blog is a parody of the radical fans of Real Madrid and it makes hyperbolic statements as though coming from a radical Madridista. This was never meant to offend a Madridista, except maybe the radicals, and it never has.

The threats, the hate, the ugliness, it’s not why I’m stepping down, but thanks for the concern. I’ve simply gotten my view across both through answering questions and also through posting my “lessons” and I was happy to post lessons that have been requested from others. So, in short, I’ve said all I’ve had to say. If I continue to run this blog, it’ll just be forced. But, running this blog reminds me why my personal blog scarcely has soccer related posts and it’s because the rivalries and soccer world can get quite ugly. Earlier this year I had to create a new personal blog to get away from the hate and threats I received by being a soccer blogger. I’ve realized that I appreciate watching the game much more with a friend or two and not the entire internet.

I hope this blog has made any soccer fan laugh at how close minded we all can be in hopelessly defending our club. And I hope that maybe this has taught people that soccer is soccer and no club is perfect, no matter how much we love it.

Finally, I’d like to say that I would LOVE to pass this blog onto another person to run it. A Second Professor? If you’re at all interested, please message me and submit some posts so I can see if you’d be a good fit. I’d like to keep the same format, just a new person making them. Here are some ground rules:

You must never tag anything in this blog as Real Madrid or anything Real Madrid related. FC Barcelona and Barcelona related tags are completely fine. This blog is meant for humor, so please don’t make a malicious lesson. You do not have to make one for every submission you get. I’ve passed many over because I felt they were too mean spirited and not light hearted. Keep the format of the lessons. Each lesson is like a college course (ie. Madridista Logic: 101 is a beginners course) and a short description of the course is (ie. Lionel Messi is the worst player ever). The description is kind of the punchline. Pass this on to someone else when you’ve felt you’ve done your part. :)

I think that covers it my friends. So, farewell from the First Professor as I’ve so dubbed myself. This has been a fun five days. :P
