Why does every thread turn into this back and forth personal crap?

I hope you're not grown men behaving this way? If so, you all need to consider seeing somebody about your problems.

This site isn't about YOU!

It's a good question. Two words about a player, "concussion issues" opens a floodgate of "how dare you criticize our coach" as though this was North Korea and someone pointed out that Kim Jong Un is fat. These are hypersensitive grown men who cannot, in fact, have anything get in the way of their hero worship, including imagined slights such as a player has "concussion issues." Concussion "issues" happen to be a big current topic in high school, college, and professional football.

Notice that it is the same small group of vigilantes on patrol, turning each thread to their personal agendas; one need only have followed (if they had the stomach) the off-hand reference to the "$300,000 coach" and the eruptions of indignation, expressed in CAPITAL LETTERS, by allegedly grown men who were positively incensed and profoundly offended that anyone would suggest that Stitt actually made some money. Then the whimpering silence when his contract was added up to show that he did, in fact, earn more than $300,000 with a reasonable potential to earn a lot more.

Then turn to the incident of Daum leaving the team and the hysteria generated that IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FOOTBALL PROGRAM OR THE TEAM, and that it was nobody's business why he left, and then contrast that with Daum's own subsequent public statement that he left because he wasn't happy with the football program and didn't feel a part of the team. Upon that statement, the same individuals that claimed it was nobody's business set about to interrogate every known relative, neighbor, and acquaintance of Daum's and then in the same sentences commanding that it was no one's business, announced that they had found out why he had left, that THEY KNEW! and could with great confidence assure everyone that Daum was lying about his reasons for leaving. You know, because it was "nobody's business." It was just another nice hypocrisy, another incident in a series of bizarre episodes on egriz, always emanating from the same posters.

What to make of such ignorant fanatics? It's surely not about "sports," but rather people invested in their own self-vindication, intolerant of any dissent because, as you note, its not really about sports, or football or Stitt or the players. It's about THEM.

Because the mods don't have the gonads to actually clean shit up.

Concussion issues are handled by the NCAA, athletic department, and the utilized medical and training personnel.

If you want to talk about this IMPORTANT issue and the departments that handle it, then a new thread would be the place to discuss it, not this one.

This is the reason PUA. Mods could clean it up if they wanted to...

If Chris charged a nickel for every word typed that was off topic, some of you douche bags would go bankrupt.

Good Grief... :roll:

This is the kind of baloney that appears from the usual suspects, on a thread about a specific player, and the two word mention that the specific player has "concussion issues" erupting into the usual self-important declarations about what threads are appropriate and not appropriate and pretentious references to the NCAA and "the utilized medical and training personnel," all stemming from two words about the player that is the specific subject of the thread: "concussion issues."

He did have a concussion that kept him off the field, but it was not the reason he was kept off the field as long as he was. And the concussion is not why he left.

I would just like it noted that I made the above post and 75 took it upon himself to start the entire downward spiral. But of course he tries to make it seem like it is everyone else.
