Bridgend Athletic

A really mediocre rugby team, based in Bridgend (south wales), who are famous for having the attitude that each player in all their age groups is god's gift. It's this awful way of thinking, as you would know if you knew them, that makes them "a cut above" in their own minds. In the event that they do lose a game or they clearly don't live up to their own ridiculous expectations, they are keen to blame; the ref being bad, "not playing their normal starting side", injuries, weather and (my personal favorite) a biased ref - as if any of these are acceptable. Among the other local rugby teams (and rugby teams as far as cardiff or swansea), there is a commonly used phrase "Athed". Being Athed is when somebody or some player spends to long around people or players who convince them that said player is the best thing since sliced bread. In short, almost a brainwashing affect which changes the said player's attitudes more like the typical Bridgend Athletic attitudes. The process of "Athing" as it were, doesnt have to be done by supporters/players of Bridgend Athletic. It can be done to ANYONE by ANY TEAM. The same principle could apply to any other sport just as well.
