re: Personal Attacks on Players

quote:

"It should be caught and Brayden will tell you that," LSU coach Jay Johnson said. "He's been better out there this year and I don't know if last year he would have gotten to the point where he could've even got to the ball and make the play. It's a tough one - I'd like to think if you catch that ball - it's a lot different game.” Is this an attack? Just curious…

Is this really a genuine question? Clearly, objective criticism, or a fan venting frustration about a missed play is fine. When it comes to calling a player trash, hurling personal insults and the like due to the missed play, it’s pathetic and out of line. Anyone who does it should be perma-banned.

And, by the way, if someone is so invested in a game that they are trashing a kid who plays for the team they’re supposedly such a big fan of, that person should probably step back and reevaluate their life and what’s really important.

it’s actually a logical response to what happened compared to flat out bashing him. Calling him trash and flat out horrible for committing an error. It happens, play for the next one.
