Well it's not about people tweeting at them. We can easily see
But really the world would be better if everyone stayed off if Twitter and Facebook

B.S. political memes and anonymous Twitter posters.....a ******* **** show of negativity
frankly there’s instant good content as well, like anything there’s good and bad

Or message boards? What's the difference?

What people really need is social media literacy, the ability to filter out bad sources of information and the discipline and habits to moderate their own usage. Social media supercharges our own worst impulses, but it's just like anything else...if you're intentional about how you use it, it's perfectly fine way to entertain and inform yourself.

It's 2020 and you can't put that genie back in the bottle. Might as well learn how to manage it.

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.
at least we don't have a version of Arsenal Fan TV.

Hell, I asked Prohm to his face why he recruits so many lefties and he responded with because they are good players. I then told him they never pan out in the league.
Wait, you actually did this? Lol
You actually think he should stop recruiting a player because he's left handed?
And even if there was evidence of your claim, why the hell would you care if they "pan out in the league?" If they're as good as Cam Payne in college, then I'll take every lefty out there.

I did. Don't get me wrong, I'd take him at Iowa State but we were talking about the NBA. From a standpoint of righty vs lefty, it is easier to defend them because of leg dominance defensively.

We as fans need to do better.






George: Please don't take any of this crap seriously. The people spewing this stuff are only trying to make up for their own inadequacy in this world. The VAST majority of fans want to bury people like this and REALLY appreciate the hard work you put in. All your work will benefit you far beyond a few cowardly words negative fans put forth.

So it appears people aren’t tweeting at the players and some people think that we can only post positive stuff here.
There’s no excuse for tweeting at the players but if they are seeking stuff out then that’s a problem with them. It isn’t the fans. Basketball wise our fan base has been relatively calm based on the circumstances.

I'm actually surprised there isn't an Iowa State version of this. We're lucky.

Example:

Replace Wenger with Prohm and Gazidis with Pollard


Without movements like this, Arsenal never would have made a change. Hopefully it doesnt ever come to that here

Didn't Prohm get off of Twitter? His way to manage Twitter was to avoid it?

Prohm has forgotten more about basketball than I'll ever know, but I can crawl on to Twitter and type "Prohm isn't a leader. He's a beta male who hasn't grown into a P5 coach and never will"

Why would any coach or player choose to engage or take criticism on that platform...or even CF?

CF is a pretty chill place overall. Twitter is a compete dumpster fire.

(P.S. fans who negatively engage with our players on social media are **** suckers and cowards)
