Why is it ok to attack players and coaches on this board?

Like you said “it’s a sports message board”

Oh, come on. Griping about coaching is the oldest form of fan dialogue. It comes

Personal attacks on the coaches and individual players is lame. And there are

Haha, I don’t understand why anyone would talk like that in public.

Well, golly gee, you should be a little more aware of those around you.

And yet, that might still be better than what we actually got during the Boise game

Define attack. Criticizing play calls and scheme is not a personal attack. Critiquing play is not even that.

There's a line there. I agree with you in general but it's possible to overstep

Criticism of performance isn't attacking.
RootieBoy
10/20/21 8:25am
It doesn't help much. But, there are actual personal attacks – most aimed at one
Benfica1
10/20/21 8:50am
Agreed. Key word is "performance".

Attack is a strong word

We ve become soft as fans...attack is a bit of an overstatement

Personal attacks are wrong. Criticism and praise of games are part of fandom.

If you can get me an interview with Tuiaki I'd LOVE to voice my criticism

I'm confused why you give me post a thumbs down? I'm serious in that I'd love

He has a serious crush on Tuiaki, I wouldn't take it personally.

I think the board does a pretty good job avoiding personal attacks

Can we at least complain about the weather?
BlackHawkCoug
10/20/21 9:04am
Define "attack"

10/20/21 9:06am
Because Tuiaki is likely making more money that most of us, and I'm helping pay
Sock Gnome

Does NIL change that? Legitimately curious

No idea. Haven't considered that at all yet

Can I say, "I was incredibly impressed by how ineffective our defense was?"

I'm positive they coached a terrible game last week.

are they attacking or being critical?

Give me the opportunity and I will say what I have said about Tuiaki's coaching
BYUFam1

That's great. When being critical, a little humility goes a long way.
grosven

Agree wholeheartedly, but within reason.

You raise good points about expectations in different scenarios.

Because words are not an “attack.”

"criticize" and "attack" are very different things

100%. Anonymity makes it easy to cross the line. Cleaning up trash improves CB.
