On Yogi’s Recruitment and the Impact of Social Media (Plus a Message to the Naysayers)

I'm realistic. I call it like I see it. Oddly as much as you hate the negativity you complain about it even more. You complaining about it to the extent you do is much worse. If you don't like people being realistic don't read it. I've never in my life seen someone that acts like such a baby over peoples views of the team like you do. Grow up and join the real world. Not everyone is going to post the way you want them to. I'll criticize or applaud the team when I see it's warranted.

Yeah, complaining about complaining.  It's awfully ironic.

It would be impossible for me to complain about you guys as much as you guys spend time complaining about the team. Like I said before, why do guys who spend all their time criticizing the team get so hurt when they get criticized for being so negative all the time? I'm in the grown up world. Adults don't spend all their time acting like spoiled brats the way you guys do.

I'm seeing a lot of butt hurt from the negative crowd. Why is it ok to slam the team all the time but you guys can't take a little back?

How are we acting like "spoiled brats"?  We discuss what we see, good and bad.  When it's bad, we criticize.

It's very possible because it's true. You obviously see what you want to see. When the team plays good I say it, and when they play bad I'll say it. Your adult world must be in a bubble because wanting everything posted to your liking makes you sounds like the spoiled one.

It's just a message board.  Sticking your head in the sand and pretending everything is fine doesn't do any good either.  This place is for discussion, and that's what we're all doing.  It'd be an awfully boring place if everyone just wanted to see rainbows.

 

 

It's an awfully miserable place when a group of super negative people drive everyone else away. I never once said you guys can't be critical. It's the non-stop lets make a game out of this that is insane. It must be hell to live your life in constant criticism of things you have no control over.

Never said I want everyone to post like me. I just want you guys to quit acting like histrionic 12 year olds.

Seems like you do. It's ironic because I want you to stop doing the very same.

What's ironic is you guys going off all the time on the team but getting bent out of shape when someone says it's way past old.

[Hovadipo 57,360]

Pretty sure everyone here is on the same team...or no?

So criticizing the team when they're playing bad and most others are complaining too is "going off all the time" thanks for clearing that up for me. You or anyone else saying it's getting old doesn't bother me it's when the claim "you aren't a fan" for criticizing the teams gets thrown out that bugs me. It is probably the dumbest thing I've ever read. If you can see the faults in your favorite team and still support them seems exactly what a "true fan" should do.

You say it's miserable, but if everyone saw rainbows it'd be boring.  It wouldn't be a good thing either way.  Not everyone agrees, seems like that'd be considered healthy for a message board the same way crime exists in a healthy society.

 

In the end it's nothing more than complaining about complaining.  Or saying something like "stop criticizing and support the team" when the two are not mutually exclusive.  You also know nothing about my life, all you know is a handle and a character that you seem to think hasn't said anything positive about the team or coach which isn't in the least bit true.

I've never said you weren't a fan. I never said you act like a reasonable adult either. I see faults too. I know they are playing bad. I just don't see the need to harp on it all day, every day. Could you please tell me why it is you guys can rag on the players and coach all the time and it's okey dokey but you can't take it when someone says it's boorish behavior?

I can take all the criticism you guys throw my way. I won't lose any sleep over it. Now tell me why it is you guys have to gang up on someone when they voice displeasure with your constant criticism? It seems like you guys should be able to just brush it off, after all I'm guessing that's what you think the players should do.
