I should have used entertaining. why fun/ entertaining?, because everyone on here likes controversy so much. Some posters love to bitch and moan about anything. When someone gets yanked out of their contract for a morality clause this board will go nuts. If it is a bammer player, even more so. It is going to be interesting. It does push fun as long it is not one of our guys. You know it will happen... prolly at uga THIS year. It wont effect the extreme majority of players who obey rules and laws... and the ones who get caught will deserve it. I think it will be very interesting when the spotlight is turned on those who have been hiding things like rape and other very serious offenses. The Jameis Winston thing was fun and interesting for me. Would have been much more fun if a $500,000 contract with Gatorade was publicly put in play. That’s sad.

Again, I am not saying it is the right thing. It is just the way it is. Everyone agreeing is boring. People need to have more respect for others views. Everyone wants everyone else to be tolerant, but no one is willing to change their own tolerance and acceptance levels. This is not a good thing, but it is not boring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t want to derail this thread further but controversy is one thing. Making a hypothetical about allegations of rape being fun is just weird AF man. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely wouldn’t think something like that would be entertaining , just like I didn’t consider the Baylor thing entertaining . But what’s weirder is you even putting that energy out there on a thread about athletes getting money. Like I said just odd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not ironic in the least that I remember a minor controversy involving the athlete that I enjoyed watching play more than any other in my lifetime and whose career I've accordingly followed very closely. Yes, controversy sells just like objectively terrible music, television and food.. I suppose I can credit you for not pretending to be above that. Don't understand it myself but it's definitely a thing for a lot of people. And that's a damned shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quietmaninthecorner 1,945 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 And yet, I am correct. Controversy sells. The number replies to my post shows how hypocritical some of you really are. One controversial view and some of you lose your s***. Some on this board live to argue, thrive on controversy and are too shallow or naïve to admit it. The controversial posts get so much attention they dominate the other posts. i.e. topics on the board: "what's going on with AD and Lt Gen Burges" 443 replies where no one really knows anything. vs "Nix, Bigsby named to Maxwell Award watch list" 0 replies There are a few "good news" posts that get attention, but in general most good news posts barely make it to double digits in replies. A large percentage of good news posts have ZERO replies. This board is quickly becoming more about attacking others views than discussing football. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A large percentage of good news posts have ZERO replies. This board is quickly becoming more about attacking others views than discussing football. You're not wrong on a lot of this post but being entertained by something and being curious and wanting to learn about it are separate things. Kind of like rubbernecking when driving past a car accident, nothing entertaining about it but most will still look and even form opinions about how and what happened. You are correct about the attacking, arguing and hypocrisy on here but it's different folks at different times. We can all be hypocritical at times. I am probably missing some decent content from time to time but I tend to gloss over many of the back and forth exchanges once I see what's happening. You are also most likely correct that there will be instances that a player will bring embarrassment and harm to themselves, their school and others by their actions but that can happen with or without a sponsorship. The NIL is actually a good thing for these young athletes in more ways than one. They need to learn how to manage their life, and finances are a huge part of life. I see grown men and women daily who are limited in options because they can't manage their finances. Financial responsibility is an educational opportunity within the NIL itself. There is a moral compass as well in this and some will learn the hard way but I hope no one is entertained by the ones that fall short. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
