Message: [QUOTE="Henny & Coke, post: 2835988, member: 323"] Reading this thread is interesting in that it makes you examine your own behavior a bit. Me personally, I now question how funny my constant berating of my least favorite Buffalo Sabre (Derek Roy) was. I would yell witty retorts like: “Hit him with your purse, Roy!” “Sure you’d rather be out clubbing right now but get in the game!” “How deep is your V-Neck T-shirt tonight, Roy?” “Can you at least pretend to play physically?” “Much rather be on Chippewa I see, huh?” But I digress. And I also think there’s a difference between getting on paid professionals and getting on college student athletes. As such, I would not participate in harassing college players (too much haha). As far as what can be done in this situation...agree with others who say it’s a tricky situation, as people are generally entitled to express their fandom as they see fit (within reason). First I might try to get through to him with some humor. Something like: “Hey, did Chukwu get that restraining order against you yet?” or maybe “Hope you don’t mind, but in interest of fairness I informed Paschal about the pickup basketball games you play in every Friday night at the Y. He’ll be showing up to “support” you.” or maybe “You ever feel bad picking on a guy who is playing ball in a foreign country half ways around world from his native Nigeria...hasn’t seen his biological parents since he left years ago...and yet is a nice, personable young man?” “Too bad it was his eyes that required 3 surgeries last year instead of his ears in hopes Paschal wouldn’t have to listen to your garbage attitude.” Or if all else fails try this last one: “I’m sorry, but maybe you weren’t here when the greater Syracuse Community concluded that Paschal Chukwu is above criticism ever since this happened:” [MEDIA=youtube]9NOsU3zKRBI[/MEDIA] Good luck! Let us know if you use any of our suggestions haha [/QUOTE]
