Did you think the poster was actually implying that Geo has a drinking problem? I understand not wanting personal attacks but the practical difference between "Geo looks lost out there" and "Geo must be drunk" is that the latter has some humor thrown in. Just seems like an odd one to use as an example.
If you don’t also acknowledge his 7 AST to 1 TO, two key blocks in 36 minutes, it makes it seem like you have an agenda. A fan of the team would want to give credit instead of just denigrating, no?
Of course not. Sorry but no one should get a few chuckles over drinking. Myself and others have lost friends/family to drunk drivers. Never had to say goodbye to someone “who looked lost” out there. Huge difference
I was frustrated and made zero whiny baby posts on an internet message board. It’s called being a man. Many of our posters are in their Mom’s basement screaming for meatloaf lol.
Yeah but he takes them on like a man. The message board stuff is creepy and immature. That’s just my opinion. I don’t get it and there is no need for it. I was punching my pillow and my dog was a little scared but I never feel the need to go on a message board to insult young kids. Really weird in my opinion.
I don’t remember talking to you or questioning your comments Nick. The guy I was talking to called someone else a snowflake for calling out the REALLY bad comments and I was talking directly to him.
Totally agree. I didn’t really punch my pillow though I was just trying to show it’s okay to be frustrated. It’s not okay to publicly and verbally assault the players.
Good point. What I find ironic is our fans feel it is okay to trash the players and coaches but get all upset when people call them out for it. If this is truly just a bulletin board and we shouldn’t care about posters bashing players then it stands to reason that we shouldn’t care when fellow fans call us out.
Stop Already …the players aren’t as sensitive as you are . Do you think this is some new phenomenon?
Seriously? You know your from Cali For Ni A … These players have been coddled way before…then some rejection and criticism helps give balance as they traverse the world of disappointment.They get it… problem is some fans just never will.
Wow.. you seem easily offended. If we can never joke about anything that ever affected anyone negatively we are going to have a pretty short list of things we are allowed to say.
Well I think the fan base can be pretty soft at times.
There are jokes and there are insensitive jokes. Some of the best comedians work “clean” Saying a player is “on the spectrum”. My sister in law has autism. I also teach Special Education. Sorry don’t find it funny at all. Finding humor in someone being drunk….again not funny at all. You have no idea who I am. Trust me I will laugh at many jokes and love many comedians. Regarding “being allowed” to say. Pretty easy. Say what you want just be prepared for some to appreciate it and others not so much.
You nailed it and you wouldn't want those "macho" men who act like only wins matter, to
I mean if we're just talking about what you like or dislike then sure, you are free to feel however. But the drunk thing is not something that the vast majority of people would find offensive. And saying something "crosses the line", which you said about the drunk post, is a significantly different statement than saying "I don't personally like this joke".
Like I've said ,if you want RU to succeed , support them in good times and especially bad times-- try sending in a check after a loss or some other difficulty--if some of the complainers actually ever send anything
