well unlike this redneck trailer trash fanbase, I try to show a little restraint and have some respect for this kid and his family/friends

Message Posted by Stonehog It's a common figure of speech. Did Shep's parents die in a fire or something? I don't get what's so unbelievable.


In other words, you're fine with it. That explains alot actually.

DIAF

But not really, I don't wanna be held responsible if you commit suicide by lighting yourself on fire.

you'd think a fanbase that JUST had a death on its team wouldn't be making death jokes to players on another team. But what can you expect from ignorant rednecks.


Ron White has it right, "you can't fix stupid". Some of these nitwits put the "fan" in "fanatic"...and, in collegiate athletics, no less.

pretty disrespectful to wish death. Would you be ok if he tweeted back "die in your sleep?"


Arky fans are beyond fricking obnoxious, but this isn't really comparable in my opinion. DIAF is something that's commonly throw out on this board.

That Arky kid did actually die. I don't think it's appropriate to joke about that.

This is classless. Sports are fun, even talking trash on message boards is fun,.... This is completely inappropriate and disgusting. In fact, a lot of what is being said in this thread and possibly on "Twitter" (if it was a real Arkansas fan that even stated it) is entirely a disgrace for everyone involved.

Thank you for being classy. Seriously. It appears to be a fading characteristic.

And for the record, not all ARKANSAS fans are obnoxious. Just as not all LSU fans are likewise.

Alfred Blue's family lost their house in a fire this year. If we were to make death jokes towards you, it would be a different story, right?

Thank you. I knew decency still existed even in the anonymous world of cyberspace.

Well I'm sure that's news to everyone in Arkansas. This is the first I've heard about Blue's family.

And if you made death jokes to us it would absolutely be a different story.

Thank you. The feeling is mutual. I fear human kindness is deteriorating however.

The hypocrisy here is disturbing

So let's "blow this up" as a big deal and ridicule ONE Arkansas fan when LSU fans are known for gaining opposing team's players/coaches/family members phone numbers to text trash talk/obscenities to in "Tiger Tradition."

Doesn't make it anything more than an utterly classless statement.

There are boundaries of acceptability that are transgressed by idiots and then supported by those with as little class as them.

Some things (considering the impact of the reality of the statement) just are not funny and are unacceptable.
