To be fair, that’s not too bad.
If a person in public life or near to a public figure is hit with crude or vulgar comments she/he just walks away and accepts there are crude and vulgar people amongst us. It is not a big deal and not worthy of a public message board. Gopher fans are kind, polite, and understanding, as are most regular folks in America.
And the coach will 99% of the time and honestly they won’t care. The said coaches kids and wives don’t always. It’s hard to hear people say vulgar things about a person you love. They shouldn’t have to just accept it either. That premise is awful and ridiculous to think they could hope for some change. That’s all the post from Mrs Fleck was saying. Has nothing to do with MN being tame and nice.
Maybe...but it would seem foolish to think that if one can't hack criticisms of a mid-tier program, one's going to have a far more difficult time hacking the criticisms inherent of an upper-tier program.
The Iowa chant is fine. But it makes Gopher fans look really damn stupid when they do it in a game not involving the Hawkeyes.
Did a coach quit because of the criticisms? What’s showing they can’t handle them?
Obfuscation. I am noted as being first to ID this ‘issue’ as an excuse to move.
I try to shoe-horn it into most of my real life situations.
Oh oh now you did it. Thread is really going to go off the rails! Moving soon to the OTB! I’ll start…what about the people of color who don’t wear masks? Are they white supremacists too?
I try to kick off every Zoom meeting with the chant.
Whoa whoa whoa. I think most of us appreciate the idea of treating other humans with respect. But Iowa fans? What next? I suppose we should also treat Badger fans civilly? You might need professional help.
Agreed. And at least this thread evolved into something more than what some college football coach's wife put on social media. Good Lord...
You don't get it then. That's why it's brilliant. It's supposed to be funny.
We know the cure. Just win.
And true!
Except few outside the State know "it's supposed to be funny".
Taking the over?
Agreed....Its dumb and old kind of like playing AC/DC or Guns and Roses music at games.
I get both sides of the issue. Frustration is a very toxic situation. You can't keep it inside of you once it reaches a certain level, but taking it out on others just creates more of it. If you understand that you can manage it and hopefully it doesn't get out of hand.
Exactly. I'm glad I'm I don't do some of the things I used to do over something like sports. It is only entertainment at the end of the day. Learning how to relax and not take things personally is not easy for some. Myself included.
She's just as fake as her husband
It is probably better we just pay our money and fawn googly-eyed at how amazing athletes and famous people are regardless of their performance. Good lord…..
Does it matter?
