Done all that and also have voted with my checkbook 100% excepting the wrestling program which I believe is run by high quality people turning out high quality athletes and high quality people on the other end.Oracle wrote: ↑Fri Oct 28, 2022 9:20 am
Taking shots, as a fan of a particular program, has always baffled me. Maybe people don't see how it comes across? We all know things aren't perfect....with wrestling and especially football, but why the need to go public? Contact the AD or the President, or a Trustee if it bothers one that much. Why take it here? Does anyone believe posting negative comments (even if the truth) will effect change? I don't.
Oxymoron: "constructive criticism" --- if it's criticism, it's destructive. There's always a better way to tell your story.
Now, as to your premise that if it's criticism, it's destructive, well that's just completely ridiculous. If you want to start your own rose colored glasses board and moderate it so that no criticism is allowed - well its a free country. Have fun there. Actually I think that's been tried.
Sometimes criticism, harsh but fair, is the only thing that does affect change. Sometimes it points out weaknesses and inadequacies that need fixing. Sometimes the emails to the AD go unanswered (the case here) and a larger hue and cry needs to go out until finally the voices of dissent are heard. Let the AD come here see how people feel about the football coach. Let the President come here and see how people feel about the whole thing.
This isn't a rose colored glasses board. Its an opinion board where free speech is welcomed and should be encouraged. That you or drd or anyone else want to filter it because you don't agree - well welcome to America my friend.
