jrw Moderator No. 3 Share Posted December 27, 2022 How about this? Criticism of all athletes - professional or little league - is way over the top. It's fine to point out poor performances, print stats that show just how poor the performances were, and indicate where fault lies in games. I mean, it's all there for people to see on their screens, anyway. No point in trying to deny it. Facts is facts: you throw three picks, you screwed up. But, the stupid, savage, personal trash spouted by that radio show host - calling someone a disgrace and a loser - is beyond the pale at any level. It's only sports. These are people performing for our entertainment and their personal satisfaction. Sure, some of them get paid a lot. But, what difference does that make? They're out there in the arena, and we're sitting on our lard butts, watching them. Sure, you can say whatever you want. You're entitled, and all that nonsense. It's part of the discourse today, where saying the meanest possible thing on the internet or screaming insults at a game is a way of showing how "uncensored" you are (this is not meant politically, btw). But, it's really tiresome. And, I think Canzano gives a classic false equivalence head-fake between the Arkansas radio host's comments and his reporting on Zach Randolph; two totally different things End of rant. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
12Duck72 No. 4 Share Posted December 27, 2022 I'm really torn on the NIL stuff. I know there's people who are saying it's going to ruin College Football. But without NIL do Nix, Penix, Williams and others return or are they off to the NFL? We all know the answer to that. So, there's good and bad to me. I have no problems with these kids getting paid when the schools have been making millions off them for years. However, with that comes more scrutiny and expectations. That's life. In my profession I'm in management so I make more than my staff. Not bragging but with my higher salary the expectations from my company are greater. That's how it works. Should we know what they're getting? I'm not sure about that but I don't have a problem with criticizing performance as long as it's not personal. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a whole sub-culture that believes cruelty to others is “cool.” We see them in social media trolling and snarking others in semi-anonymity. Criticism of performance is okay but the rest is just cruelty. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always best to remain classy when criticizing players. SOMETIMES THOUGH, you just want to be in first grade again... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
