Fans say many douchey things when criticizing teams, but some of the baseless personal attacks are beyond the pale. He’s just a lazy person! He’s stupid! He only cares about himself! He only cares about money!
I mean - if you’ve interacted a whole bunch with a person and you know they’re just not a smart person, that’s one thing. But most of this is just lashing out because you’re mad at someone for making a mistake.
Generally, I think the MacT comments about social media are pretty ridiculous but there are some kernels of truth there too. Its not great when people who’ve never met you and know nothing about you are trying to assassinate your character on the internet.
I completely agree with CrusaderPi in this discussion. While the less knowledgeable believe that benching players is a magic panacea which will automatically make them better or prove that they’re useless if they don’t immediately respond, that kind of thinking is completely archaic. There are about a million studies now on motivation showing that just giving random punishments isn’t the most impactful way to improve anyone on anything. And crapping on your players in public is probably even less impactful.
It’s not like players can’t see when they make mistakes. It’s not like they don’t want to win. And fan’s focus on errors causing goals is a huge mistake because it ignores 99% of the game when goals aren’t being scored. If coaches respond to just the high visibility plays to make punishments then they’re almost certainly going to make bad decisions.
It’s also pretty notable that fans and crappy media guys do always seem much more concerned about benching players they see as too soft or over-focussed on offence. Ekholm, Ceci and Desharnais all made glaring errors leading to goals against last night but all Spector and some others would like to talk about is Evan Bouchard.
"Thinking that a bad team's best players are the reason the team is bad is the "Tambellini re-signing Lennart Petrell" of sports opinions." @Woodguy55
