DonOfThemBirds 18,960 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Yeah, you get those psycho or self-entitled fans who think winning or losing a game is life or death. I never understood how a person who's supposed to be a fan can take a team losing or a player not playing up to standards during a game as some personal vendetta.

Completely anonymous. It won't though because social media is making people a lot of money. People who don't have no skill or talent can just do something stupid and become an instant celebrity to many. Look at how it made Kim Kardashian. falconsd56, Faithful Falcon and Dr Long Shot 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

octoslash 18,226 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 My social media endeavors are limited pretty much to this board, two email accounts, and texting my wife about dinner and such. Besides having heard the name, I honestly have no clue who Kim Kardashian is, and I've never tweeted, I quit Facebook ten years ago after about a month on it, and I don't even know what instagram is. And yet, somehow, I'm a happy and successful man. Vandy and Skeetbird 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

falconsd56 26,495 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I think it is great that people have the ability to connect with professional athletes and such.... because they are people too. The problem is that it is a double edge sword because......people are stupid. ya_boi_j 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Although these TikTok girls arent on the same FAME level as the Kardashamites. These girls who stand in one place doing the same moves as the last girl they watched and get thousands of followers. This country is doomed when the tik tok generation is in control of it DonOfThemBirds 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
