PurplePride92 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Disagree with that. Fans should never yell at another teams players or coaches...especially after a game. While in the handshake line. Which is another reason why I do not like postgame handshakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
23Legend Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 "Going to ask them some questions too"? Okay, from what i read on this thread it sounded like it was a pretty tense situation. Maybe when i was 18, 19, 20 years old and had nothing to lose then I would "ask some questions". Now that I am older and understand that the situation could escalate and the person in the stands isn't worth my time or effort, and my career and reputation isn't worth losing i would just walk to the locker room or bus without acknowledgement. But you "don't care who it is or where we are". Guess you have nothing to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue&Orange Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Not Yelling at a elderly old man and a female may have made things easier as well..... Parents always wait on players to exit the locker room. Just saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm loyal to a fault and like I explained if something stupid was going to pop off it was going to involve me and not anyone from our coaching staff. Period.

Parents always wait on players to exit the locker room. Just saying The same elderly man yelling at EVERYONE the whole game? The same female yelling at the Boyle County student section the whole game? The same female yelling at Colton Elkins the whole game? The same fans yelling things at the refs I have never in my life heard before? The same fans yelling at the opposing coaches during the postgame handshake when they were the ones who won the game? Those fans? I'm just glad I had a mistake free night on the clock. Those same fans may have started throwing racial epithets or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
23Legend Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Okay, you go confront that person next time and take up for your coach and when the altercation becomes physical and you lose your job then at least you can go home and be proud because you took up for your coaching staff. Oh wait.....i know.......i know.....there's no way that would happen because you're not that type of guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue&Orange Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Now it's gone racial.....wow. I've learned to respect women no matter the situation, that woman would not curse anyone. You must have her confused with another parent unless you have eyes on the back of your head too see who's saying what. Racial slurs is taking it a bit far wouldn't you think?

One never knows until it happens. You're playing the elderly man and woman card like they or people around them are innocent and at the time not one person was claiming mistaken identity. I may as well play the black card since we're pulling out cards tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union employees don't get promotions. It doesn't work that way. I did just accept a bid to a day shift job though. I lose a couple of bucks an hour but I'll be able to make that up with some OT. I won't have to swing shifts anymore though so I am happy about that. One of the best places to work in the state. Hands down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue&Orange Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I wasn't saying everyone was innocent by no means, they guy going off on our side should have been escorted out and he was. The wrong people got involved, just like you they are going to take up for their team. But the people who started it wasn't there to finish it, I'm saying don't judge the whole fan base. The lady was taking up for her team just like you. Let's agree to disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole experience was different for me and one I hope to never experience again. The whole postgame incident takes away from the game and that's unfortunate because it was a good competitive game. I've always enjoyed watching Gover, Butt and Fitzgerald play and last night wasn't any different for me in that aspect. All three are exceptional players.
