Everyone likes to pretend they're above it all but we're pack animals - of course we care what people think. False. Mature and confident men shrug off Twitter trolls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtherwiseHappyinLife Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 1 hour ago, THE BARON said: A superior in most business environments would not use that type of language to antagonize or censure a subordinate. If you assaulted a superior or peer on the job that was critical of your work, you'd lose your employment and most probably get arrested. Then, there would be legal fees and possibly a civil suit. You'd also have a hard time finding a new job afterwards Or, perhaps the person you tried to assault may defend themselves. Fantasy based suggestions like that come from inexperienced kids or adults with maturity issues. It might feel good for a second to pound an abuser, but it is not practicable. Yes, sticking up for yourself when being demeaned by your boss is immature, yet calling someone you don't know a fat lazy sh*t without the underlying context is fine. Doesn't really mean I'd kick his ass, but you get the point. But you really don't since you ignored my point that making a lot of money should not open you up to being a bigger target for personal attacks than others. Does your implied maturity agree with this point? Because your original argument for why Becton should accept this is because he is making a lot of money. You've also assumed that he is underperforming and is not legitimately injured or unable to come back due to weight or other personal issues. Yes, we all know he came to camp out of shape and there remain reasonable questions about his future. We also agree that the Jets have every right to cut bait if he doesn't answer these questions, much like an employer has the right to fire us. I guess you are not ok with legitimate cases of workers' comp for injury or for people taking time off to deal with personal matters. And if they did, then it's a performance issue that should welcome personal attacks if the pay was high enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for any fan being critical of a players performance in a sports talk forum.. What the public has to say goes along with the big media money. If you cant deal with rejection don't become a sales professional. If you don't want to get hit, don't become a boxer. If you can't deal with public criticism, don't become a professional athlete or public entertainer of any kind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmnj Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 one of the best times i had as a jets fan was watching wrs stranded on revis island-sadly he got fat and slow at the end but I never faulted him for going for the money-teams cut guys at the drop of a hat I am glad the post was from revis instead of vernon gholston sadly becton will be out of here within the year-you cant be a first round pick that cant get on the field especially when the mantra is your lazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Becton accepted it as part of making a lot of money and being on twitter allowing the public to comment. Making a lot of money and being on twitter means you are a fair target for abuse? Criticism, SURE but abuse as in being called a fat lazy **** .. in so many words? I do get that is what often happens, I just don't agree with it. Nor do I agree with the cancel culture that often happens when public figures themselves cross the line. In my opinion, most would likely agree to the following: 1. As a professional athlete in the public eye, he is absolutely open to criticism over his performance 2. If he doesn't answer some of these questions-- some related to weight, maturity, or mental health, he should not be guaranteed to keep his job. I mean who would disagree with this? 3. On the flip side, there might be a line where criticism turns into personal attacks (a form of abuse or bullying). For Becton, there seems to be a quite a lot of this 4. Yes, he is partly to blame and in a perfect world should just ignore it all, probably quit Twitter. Immature human beings and even mature ones might find it tough to ignore. We've all been there 5. Given his age and some questions around why he wasn't able to come back from injury, it might be better to support the young buck rather than writing him off or directly questioning his character/effort Is that fair Jeremy?

I'm not on his twitter page mocking him, nor engaging him at all (and for clarification I dont think anyone should be saying anything to him on Twitter in the first place, AND he shouldnt even be reading what they say on top of that) But here's the kicker. We are talking on an internetttttt messageeeeee boardddddddd. Keep your fake altruistic BS at home. Holier than thou internet crusaders arent any better than trash talkers.
