[QUOTE="Technut1990, post: 469422, member: 3774"] If we were hard on any of these student athletes for personal life styles and opinions I would completely understand the kids gloves approach but I don’t think most, And said most, fans take shots based on personal characteristics. They/we critique play and performance. I think it’s ok given the circumstances. We are critical of a team that we love. We want them to win. We want seccessful teams. This desire is based in extreme fandom not hate and it’s directed at players who are essentially receiving public money ( the cost of the education at Tech) to be on the teams. When they win they are celebrated and they have no issues with “public life”. The only difference when they lose is the comments made. With that said I certainly do not advocate harsh personal comments toward anyone, questioning why they didn’t, couldn’t or can’t do something is not personal, calling them out of name as you do that is.
