Social media is of course full of trolls cackling about the destruction that was wrought today.
These people should be hung by their ****ing toenails. Amoral useless pieces of ****.
God damn I’m over seeing these social media posts worming their way into my feed where the UW trolls want to not only be shitty people, but want to convince people they’re not and be affirmed by people who know better. There’s a political parallel I’ll leave alone, but if you’re going to be a giant bag of **** then at least have the honesty to own what you are.
I’m not seeking out these posts, I’m blocking liberally, but they pop up anyway. **** all of these idiots now and forever. It’s an absolute shame that they continue to breathe the air that better people could breathe in their place.
To be clear: as a 15-year veteran of being a sports theft victim, I do understand the reality of how outsiders regard entire sports being viciously stolen from good fans. For a fleeting moment they go, “man, that sucks.” Then they go, “hey, what’s for lunch?” And then anytime they encounter the topic again for the rest of their days they think, “Look: I get that you’re upset, but your pain isn’t mine and therefore it really doesn’t matter very much. Get back to me when it happens to me instead. It will suddenly be very important then.” Except, of course, they don’t exercise that level of candor about their reaction.
I love people.
