I know what it wasn’t... and white dudes yelling racial slurs to a bunch of big arse black dudes in a open public arena wasn’t it.

You can’t eben tweet racist shite these days.


Seriously, you aren’t this dumb. I know you aren’t.

I have no idea what it was. There are many ways people can be derogatory towards any race. It definitely wouldn't be the first time and probably not the last. It very well could have just been a bunch of drunk guys yelling "you fricking suck, Fournette." If that's what it was, then he's just gonna have to get used to it.

Wrong.

People should be able to say what they want, as long as they aren't cussing them, or talking about family, etc.
If it's a simple "You suck", etc...LF7 needs to act like an adult making millions and realize that's what he signed up for.



I'm pretty sure the "You suck" was said not to be the insult So I assume your post is in response to a hypothetical. If not:

Your kind and that mentality is why I love this country so much. Is it a free country? Can you say anything you want without the risk of arrest? Yea and you should do that when you want, but I'm of the mindset you know that I'm free to my equal and opposite reaction. People used to live that way too but now we have dorks who want to have the right to disparage other grown people only bc they know repercussion will not be tolerated. Enough rambling. Your entire post is saturated with the ghey

What?? He's not big enough to ignore that crap? I ignore shite all the time that I don't wanna hear.

Big boy pants...he needs to put them on and quit acting like a sensitive little bitch. The guy in the stands should mean absolutely nothing to Fournette.

Ok, but that's a different conversation from "they paid for their seat and can say whatever they want."

Wasn’t Jax in the afc championship game last year ? Wasn’t that the game LF7 let that pass drop at his feet without even trying for it ?

LF needs to grow up. People are generally stupid and say stupid things. You or I wouldnt say shite like that....but others will. It's a free country. They can say that shite if they want and look like a horses arse but LF still needs to not get triggered by it. He's on the field...people are watching him in the stands and on tv....they cant hear what some moron in the stands is saying...but they can see how LF is reacting...and its not a good look for him any way you slice it.

It makes him look like a raving maniac.

He has thin skin. Fans do what fans do. Just like fans were slamming him for kneeling during the Anthem. I guess the fan was not removed.

I don't disagree that he should ignore it. I just don't think paying for a ticket gives fans the right to say whatever they want to players.

But the fan won. LF should of just laughed it off or ignored him. These players always hear crap from fans. I'm sure the fan would be removed if the language was a bit too much.

He should have. I don't think I ever said differently. That's still a different conversation from saying fans have the right to say what they want because they paid for a ticket.

At some point hearing the N word thrown at you, even from heckling fans, probably becomes too much. That's got to be hard to just ignore if it continues all damn game.

How is there any place for this?

Again, did Fournette jump into the stands and fight? Or did he tell him he was going to beat his arse?

Not sure what there is to criticize here. It's one thing to taunt and pick on an opposing player about whatever, but dropping racial slurs constantly should definitely get you removed.

I'm all for free speech, but racial insults at a sporting event.. so give the fan a warning and then remove him if needed.

I'm all for the ignore it approach, but that seems a bit much to just ignore.. so tell the guy to knock it off or we can fight later.. I don't see a problem with this response.. Fournette has a right to speak back. Seriously, frick that fan. He's grown enough to say it, then he can take a response.

If the guy was yelling racist stuff at Fournette he wouldn’t have yelled you’re too old for that. That doesn’t make any sense. They’re making up the racist stuff to cover his overreaction.

Booger is a privileged little child that kneeled for the anthem so it would be funny to see him try to take on some old vet in the stands and get knocked into next week.

So, it’s 2018, and nfl fans were yelling racial slurs so loud players on the field could hear for the entire game, and yet not a single fan videoed it and the fans weren’t escorted out

Lol

That's one of the problems here. On one hand, Fournette can always just make that claim even if it's not true to get away with his actions. I'm not saying that's what he did. On the other hand, the "someone would have said something" crowd makes a good point, but you never know these days. People are crazy and you just don't know what they're gonna do or not do.
