Instead of shitting on a college kid for having fun
When did a I shite on him? I said I have no problem with him enjoying being Johnny Football. I know I would. I even said stripping him of the Heisman is stupid. I just pointed out your factual error -- he has been arrested and convicted (just last week!).
I also pointed out attacking May does not actually refute his points. It's an ad hominem attack. While funny, it doesn't mean he's wrong. So, i think since we're attacking media members in this thread, the Advocate's similar conduct over similar charges were relevant. I doubt I'll "take things up with them" because I don't have that much emotionally invested in it, just enough to talk about it on a message board.

As I said we were talking about things after the trophy was voted on, as factors to strip Manziel of his award. Has he been accused of violating any laws since December 2012?
His conviction/plea deal may have been last week but I'm pretty sure voters knew this was one of the possible outcomes when they voted. You think the Heisman Trust would consider this as a reason?

What were his points? That Manziel is "shaming the game"? That's not a point that's an opinion. If I'm going to use a persons opinion to form some type of judgement of another person, then I feel his past deeds are more than fair game.

They were relevant to your opinion of the Advocate and that's about it.
