OT: Why is the B-ball Forum More Civil To Posters Than F-ball?
- Thread starter RutgersMO
- Start date
Pretty much... More losing means less traffic, which means fewer trolls and less of a need to be over-the-top to make a point.
As Corso says, "Not so fast my friend". I'll, remain positive, even in the face of negativity....lol
How exactly is it that we accept losing? What does this mean?
1. We don't care and we are not disgusted and frustrated by the current state of the program? Wrong
2. We don't make our views known to the AD? Wrong
3. We don't control our donation dollars? Wrong
4. We go to games to support the players knowing we might lose? Wrong
No fan is accepting what is going on now. Besides communicating our views, deciding to support or not support the program, there really isn't much we can do right now.
But back to the OP, this board has seen plenty of vitriol and personal attacks on fellow posters and players and coaches.
Constant losing means less traffic, and subdued responses. I would like to think posters have matured, but I know this isn't the case.
I think many long term fans have become apathetic. Some of the uncivilized posts on FB are from passionate fans that wrongly express thoughts in a poor choice of attacking words. The FB fanbase is passionate and have different ideas on how to build on success. I think many fans on bball have already chalked the season up to a beatdown with a dim light at then end of this year's tunnel. Maybe it's one of the 7 stages of dealing with a loss and we are past denial & anger phases and have hit acceptance...
