Why "Social Media" is great....

Another football post, but something tells me you guys will like this one:


I was there. 50-yard line at the top of the stadium on the side where the hospital is that they wave at. The only sound better than a roaring crowd is roaring silence. The walk to the tram was one of the quietest I have ever experienced after a game.
 
PSU Football is now selling Think Fast Run Fast t-shirts with some of proceeds going to help run on athletes, not sure if it is a NIL thing or not. The segment was pretty funny, my kids and I liked it.


Saw them at McClanahan’s today. Only $11 but a pretty crappy shirt. I’ll wait till something nicer comes out. You get what you pay for.

I love this wrestling forum.

The football forum is hard to read / participate in. So much negativity. It’s eerily similar to another forum I know whose best years were in the 80s.
I used to think it was just the message board(s) that were bad but Im starting to lose my attention/patience for fans in general.

This youth football season and even the HS school season in MD is one for the records books for me.

A rival school had their Coach punch out the opposing schools AD in the middle of an on field brew haha. https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/...urity-measures-at-games-after-brawls/3164990/
Our HS team beat the northwestern team in an epic HS game earlier in the year. EPIC. One of the best HS games i ever watched. But on the field there were 5 unsportsmanlike penalties.

But.......... the fans, the parents, at our youth football games are just unfreaking real this year. Our club removed one dad from any sporting events, so he pulled his son (who is good but not THAT good). He went to another club to play. We play that club and he is not allowed on the sidelines serving a 2 game suspension for something he did at that new club. He was nice to talk to during practices these past season, but something got into him saturday afternoons and his demeanor just changed........

Then this weekend we had parents in the middle of our game telling our coaches they were going to punch them because we werent running a defense this parent thought would be better. Its much more detailed and awful than that, but I will spare you guys.

My daughters soccer, has 11U girls yelling the F word at each other and a mother from the other team yelling at our girls for making fun of the curse words her daughter was using. Then our mothers are going at this mom.

Its just wild.

I do the chains for our youth football game and so I talk to the officials and they claim the same thing. its the worst they ever seen. We are half way through the season and they want to be done and say they wont do it next season.

I coach baseball and we dont seem to have this type of stuff as bad. this stuff with soccer is new to me, and maybe shocking only because it little girls.

Football is nuts. So bringing this back around. Message boards can have the worst of the worst, because there are no rules or penalties for boorish behavior. But the same is happening out on the field now it seems.

Always been trash talk, and bad behavior by parents, but man it seems its getting worse, with no end in sight.
