No, I've seen plenty of posters attacked on here for simply being critical of a performance. So yes there are those saying don't be critical and if you are you're a horrible fan. Discussions have become nonexistent on here because one side feels you shouldn't be critical.
His comments about the wrestler were over the top. As I recall the parent invited creedo to visit him in the father’s seat and repeat his criticism in person. It was not a physical challenge. It was credo who gave specific instructions as to where to meet him for a confrontation along with some boasting about his superior physical prowess. He then followed up with a later post advising that he wasn’t even there but was in Hoboken. That says it all.
Your opinion and I respectfully disagree. Pointing out that someone isn’t performing is not an issue. Doing so by belittling or with personal insults is. That’s my point.
I can't argue with the timeline of challenges I just didn't think the original criticism was that bad. It's not like he said he hates old people and dogs or something but maybe I didn't see every comment.
If you say so. All I know is lots of usual(older) posters have left because of this issue. Match threads used to be 5 to 6 pages long of discussion without Lex taking up 2 to 3 pages of posting. Posters are attacked for saying anything critical so they left. TOS you say what you want without fear of retribution. It's a discussion not like here where some have decided they are morally superior to everyone else. There are no discussions here, since there is no opposing view point.
Actually Creedo did say that a 50 year old wasn’t going to have anything for him. Not sure what his feelings about dogs are though.
Here’s a quick summary
That’s what I was wondering. Delete the truly offensive stuff and let others read the analysis of the match. Curious on others thoughts about why this team is so weak on bottom and can’t hold the other guys down for more than 10 sec. Why most other teams are stronger and more aggressive especially to close out matches. Is it coaching or lack of talent? I’m not sure if any of this was discussed since the thread is gone.
No one said criticizing wasn’t allowed ...making it personal way beyond the norm is what happened ...im sure parents see this board and know the difference between constructive criticism and flat out personal attacks....I’ve railed about it before and even said it was only a matter of time before a parent was gonna confront someone at some point and that’s exactly what happened . I’ve got no skin in the game ..not a parent and it was wrong ..just flat out wrong
You didn’t see everything and it’s obvious ..his attacks on JOJO first were way out of line then criticized MVB before he even set foot on the mat ...who does that other then a guy who hates his life and picks on kids to get his jollies off knowing his keyboard is his muscles.....not only would a parent wanna do something about it but so would real RU fans which were out in force last night against the idiot
Big difference between being critical and making your criticisms personal ..to repeat the same things all the time about a kid who is doing the best he can is not helpful ..didn’t realize this forum was just to be critical of a kid instead of a little encouragement ..really sad that some feel the fun has been removed since you feel you can’t be critical ....lol. That kinda says all you need to know about some guys real reason for being here
Do you think that is who he meant by Nick Suriano level upperweight who is coming here ...is that the Cornell kid?
You damn well know I never said this forum was just to be critical. When wrestlers do well people praise them when their performance doesn't match their skill set I see no problem with critiquing that performance. You do.
Agreed. I think we got blinded by a few guys over performing early season to realize this lull was a little predictable. Half of the starting lineup really hasn’t experienced the amount of travel during a season so I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re hitting a wall. Losing 2 veteran starters made things even worse.
And with Cardenas looking REALLY sharp in his Finger Lakes "redshirt", I could see how ta desire for a transfer might be feasible.
You have your opinion I have mine ...saying a kid doesn’t belong on the mat , can’t ride a 6th grader, etc ...and many more for weeks on end ..the RS of JOJO ...how many times is the kid gonna get ripped along with his father for the kid wanting to wrestle if he beat the incumbent ..he earned his way on the mat yet guys like you were like parrots repeating the same damn line ...call me names ..do what you will ..scroll back a few weeks and see how bad it had gotten towards a couple of these kids ..I speak my mind about personal attacks on kids doing the best they can ..of course relevant critiqueing is normal and I spoke up when it got beyond that ..don’t like my opinion then don’t read it..early on quite a few acknowledged it was gonna be a down season ...it’s been just that ..we don’t have a team laden with senior talent yet you expect kids to perform as such ..they are young ..they read what’s said about them ..why make a kid feel worse then he already does ..that’s my point ..
I like their gym for wrestling, used to go often to see some good local D1 wrestling during the pre-Goodale years. Hope we can put a nail in the coffin of the Rider fans' optimism that they could challenge Rutgers. I hope that we don't have any more recruiting dry spells with the 2 NCs last year and the new facilities coming online. We have had a few rough years that have caused us to be over-reliant this year on frosh and RS frosh wrestlers. God willing, we won't see this scenario again. We will need to step up recruiting if we are going to be the dominant team in NJ, because Princeton seems to have a stranglehold on Delbarton, can recruit nationally, and will be getting their share of Blair and Bergen Catholic kids. I hope that it doesn't happen, but I think Princeton will become the consistently dominant team in NJ. Bothers the hell out of me. Is there another major D1 wrestling program for the top state university in any other state that seems to struggle as much as we do in getting recruits from its best home-state high schools?
