Message: [QUOTE="CaptainJ, post: 2374180, member: 1553"] I'm not sure this fellow ever said that. Further, just because someone else is jumping off a bridge, does that mean you must do it too? Your fans made you, they built your wealth, without them you are [I]nothing[/I]. So why treat them with such an elitist attitude? Just because you claim others do it? Why not be better, and hold yourself to a higher standard than the selfish others who do wrong and allow you to rationalize your behavior? Where have the morals we were taught as children gone to? +1. How out of touch/elitist can a person be to think that the average(a more neutral and empirical term than "casual", which often seems to have a negative connotation implicit with it, when the poster compares themself to that fan) fan cares more about an entity's obscene profits off the backs of some kids, when the fan who foots the bill cant even watch the games or has a much more difficult time doing so than in back when things were much easier due to less technology? Apprently so, this eliticist attitude is troubling, and resembles traits of sociopaths. Wow, that is the definition of a straw man argument. I expect more from you. We were not in the AAC before, when the games were televised. Surely with all of the advanced tecnology of today it should be easier, not more difficult, for the average fan to watch games. It all boils down to greed. Just because your future doesnt depend on someone, doesnt mean you should treat them like crap. While I used to listen to many games on the radio, after years of watching them, why would I want to return to the radio? That logic is like saying that a rich person who grew up poor should have no trouble returning to how poor they were 30 years ago. Conditioning does not work like that, at least for many people. Why can't he make up facts?(not that he is) Our mass media does daily about things that actually matter in life, and many dont even question it. People are just expressing dissatisfaction that it is harder to watch games on TV for the average fan than it used to be. This has become a society that has conditioned people to many things becoming easier by the year, yet some people on here act stunned when people are displeased that some things are moving in the opposite direction and are becoming more difficult? Anyhow, being your premise to the post was that one poster claimed it was "only SU" treating it's fans like garbage, let me take away that argument and say that I wish SU would hold itself to a standard, whether or not other schools do. If we consider ourselves "better" than others(which many posts on here are all about), why use the childhood argument that "so and so is doing it too!"? Imagine if that logic were used by nations to justify their actions... [/QUOTE]
