They also see what’s said about their coach and teammates. Maybe people just shouldn’t be reactionary *******.

Neat.

No one should be tweeting at players. But Steve prohm makes millions and it isn't to finish in the bottom of the big 12 like we look like we are headed for the second time in 3 years. Fans are going to express opinions on that at every single program - and we are probably one of the better ones about it. If a player doesn't have thick enough skin for that they shouldn't be on Twitter.

Again, they’ll still see it without tweeting at them. That’s the thing about algorithms.

We can’t claim to be better than other fans when this happens. It’s embarrassing when the vocal idiots run rampant.

Carry on making excuses for the reactionary ******* on social media.

Honestly what are you gaining by tweeting at Prohm, or posting anywhere on social media, your disgust with the program? I get that's how some people vent after a loss, but it only has negative effects.

So this morning in church as Coach and his family was walking in some little kid ran in front of them and the priest said, “Hey, you better recruit him.”

I don’t know if our priest was trying to be funny, but I’m like, “Wow, I can’t believe he just said that.”

I'm glad people are pissed and I'm glad the players are pissed. Means someone gives a **** about all of this. If you want something, put the work into make it happen. If you want the fans to stop complaining, then this team needs to make changes.

I havent looked for Conditt, but when I checked last night after Zions tweet I hadn't seen anyone at all tweeting at him.

Fans are going to have opinions about their sports teams. If you go out looking for them after losses and dont have thick skin you should probably get off Twitter.

I posted somewhere else last night...I did the same as you, searching for who tweeted at Zion after last night and I don't think even one person did. I even looked up who tweeted at Prohm after the FAMU game, and there were very few.

People are going to use their social media to complain about their teams, just like they do to celebrate when they win. It's an extension of their personality.

Let's not pretend Twitter is the problem here. Last night a guy right here on CF posted looking for people to show up in Hilton on Wednesday with bags over their heads. Last season, a real live person in stands (not some rando on Twitter) interrupted Prohm during a celebration of outgoing seniors to voice his displeasure.

Garbage people are garbage, whether online or in real life.

I'm of two minds of this. One, if you are @ing people or the programs twitter accounts and sending hate that way then knock it the **** off. That's completely unneeded and nobody needs to turn on their phone after a game and get flooded with hate when they're mad they didn't win too. They know they're failing and going on social media to directly scream it at them along with insults doesn't help. Direct harassment has never helped anyone in any case ever.

On the other though, if the players are vanity searching or are jumping on social media right after a loss to see reactions then I feel less bad for them because they're actively looking for it, and there's no reason you should be other than stroke your own ego or get upset when you don't have to. The team is bad, people are mad, and they should know what they're going to find if they're out there searching for it. People are allowed to be mad at the piss poor product the team has been putting out and if the players are looking for that and getting mad over it then that's on them.

TLDR version of this; if you're directly harassing players/coaches/other figures, please stop. You're an *******. If people aren't doing that the players are looking for it then they need to focus on things other than social media outrage because winners don't do that.

Facebook is just friends though. Twitter you can just go on and tell anyone anything. It’s horrible. I don’t do twitter. It’s an embarrassing forum.
Facebook still gives you things you might like, and I’ve seen enough ****** memes to not hold up Facebook as some almighty social media heaven.
