When you step into the spotlight you must reasonably expect to get praise when you are good and criticism when you are bad. However, there are limits. Being a fan generally means you support the program and the people in it. That means players, coaches and admins.

Crossing the line to me is when a supposed fan boos their own team or a someone on it. Watch our guys and gals when someone screws up badly - they pat him on the helmet or whatever and try to lift him or her up. That is what teammates and fans are supposed to do. More of us should take a clue from them. The same goes for posting. There are a number of coaches and really knowledgeable fans that post complaints and criticism without resorting to vulgarity, name calling, ad homiem attacks or stream of consciousness rants. Take a clue from them.

I don't know for sure but most of the people that post obnoxious threads probably never played a down or quarter or round or match in organized scholastic competition. They post what they post because they don't know enough to post anything that contributes to a discussion. A few I suppose are just ignorant or so inarticulate that they can't express themselves.

Lastly, coaches and admins are adults, get paid handsomely and know full well that  for which they signed up. Players are just kids playing a game and should be treated with much more restraint.  Same goes for parents.

Just my opinion, I could be  wrong.
