Totally. Like I said, as a Bulls fan I get it if someone ONLY watches the Bulls; it's horsefeathers brutal and frustrating. I'd totally want everything tossed out and Arch Rivals rules instituted instead.
Speaking of basketball video games, I broke out my SNES and have been rocking NBA Live 95. I have no if current day games do this, but I loved that you could set fouls on a sliding scale so that you could get away with some or even all fouls, but then you get down to the wire and the horsefeathers ref finally coughs up his whistle with the game tied up and seconds to go. It rules.
I swear, if some of you had been around when the dunk first showed up you would have completely imploded. "A guy can just put the ball in the hoop?!? BORRRRRRRRRRING."
Honestly sounds like a lot of this is based out of Bitter Bull Fanitis, which, fair! The Bulls are a VERY terrible organization, and, much like the Bears, have mostly botched their efforts to evolve into something resembling a modern day team.
It's dumb that this is even a discussion on the forum as opposed to the actual racist comment being nuked ASAP and a mod telling the guy that that horsefeathers doesn't fly.
Absolutely nothing is gained by leaving that horsefeathers up even if it's just everyone dunking on him. Leaving it there and talking about it/him just legitimizes it. ENOUGH. We don't have to be and should not be tolerant of intolerance.
Yeah, that makes sense in a vacuum, but (outside of the insane amounts of daily suck) we are clearly not in a vacuum and don't need to apply some rules of order decorum horsefeathers to people who utilize (abuse it is more accurate) it to only spout the most odious, harmful horsefeathers they can with an air of legitimacy.
There's nothing wrong with putting aside niceties when appropriate and bluntly saying "no, that's wrong. YOU are wrong."
You're a smart guy: I know you can 100% tell the difference between people who deserve politeness and those who don't. We're so far beyond the need for any kind of "one size fits all" moderation when it comes to what people spout online.
(All this does is unnecessarily grant legitimacy to 100% bad faith horsefeathers. If something is bad, it's bad regardless of how "polite" they sad it and should be called out every single time.)
