The first person who gets takes things personally, that takes the conversation away from the topic at hand (football, coaching, etc.), gets their feelings hurt, starts name calling and trying to change or silence people is responsible for the totally new topic about “feelings”. My 12 year old does this too. This guy didn’t start it. His comment is a continuation, a response to someone who changed the topic.
Try not to take things personally when you don’t agree and stick to the topic. That’s the point.
