From what it seemed, you were trying to derail this thread because you either didn't care for the content or just didn't understand what it was about. I neither defended, alluded to, nor denied that anyone else defended his behavior.
Like I said, I hope he gets better. But if you don't think some of our fans were enabling him by defending his actions and ignoring what was really going on, even AFTER the coach's show debacle then you really aren't paying attention.
And why should we all show concern for Blaine when he showed none for his team, the players or fans in the worst year in our history? He showed zero concern for batten when we hit the ground like a sack of bricks, he didnt even go check on him!
And quite frankly, baze never even telling Blaine about his DUI makes so much more sense now. I hope Blaine gets better but I honestly don't care if he does or not. He had a second chance after a dui and not only did he blow that chance, he abandon our kids and fans at their lowest point. Why anyone should be concerned about him when he showed no concern for anyone else is a headscratcher.
Much like your last statement, I also never said everyone should completely abandon talking about him or caring about him, I simply stated MY opinion that I really don't care what happens to him based on his previous actions and that I think continuing to discuss him is a complete waste of time. I never said, nor would I ever say, that you should completely ignore him and what happens to him, you are entitled to do whatever you want, I just stated I am quite weary of it and expressed my opinion as to why I don't really care what happens with him.
You are entitled to and most likely will ignore everything I said and that is certainly your right to do so, but I also feel quite strongly on the subject so asking me not to share my opinion on it is a bit ridiculous. Quite frankly, considering how much sh.t I took for years going after Blaine for any number of reasons and for what he ultimately did to this program (which I absolutely said would happen eventually), I think I've been very restrained in what I've said about him. I could have literally ripped into him day after day, I could post the nearly dozen or more stories, some of them almost too sad or outrageous to believe, day after day after day to embarrass him the say he embarrassed our program......but I have not.
But when people keep talking about him and then saying I have "anger issues" or "I take it too personally" simply because I think we should stop talking about him and move on, yeah, that irks me a little. Like I've said, I could have easily gloated over being "right" about him or drag his name through the mud by posting those stories, but I have done ANY of that, nor will I, I simply just want us to move on and let Blaine go once and for all. He did all of this to himself and tossed our schools bball program in a ditch.....why wed keep bringing him up and hoping he gets better and saying nice things about him is honestly mind blowing.
No one reminisces fondly about capel.....no one wished him well after he left odu, no one discuses what he is up too......and what Blaine did to us and those kids is FAR worse than anything capel even remotely did. So again, let him go and let's move on with whatever is left of our program.
Just quit trying, and go away. You're making yourself look like a fool for making generalizing statements and failing to comprehend the subject of this thread. Great job on derailing it *clapclapclap
