For years there has been criticism, sometimes extremely harsh criticism, on football threads of Stanford players and coaches. Why are you not outraged by these "public insults" as you describe it?

I avoid football threads. 

I can understand "He's too short" or "She's too slow" criticisms.  But to criticize a team's loss to #1 by saying they checked out and don't want to be there seems unsubstantiated and in poor taste.  If someone wants to sit with Cal and say those kinds of things about Stanford players, enjoy the company.  Usually fans respect their team's players.

So posting on a "public" forum a Stanford player is "too short" or "too slow" is respecting the player?
