Duke fanboy loosers think Dookie V's ESPN is unfair to the Blue Devils?

Actually, you can't characterize this as "rants on a fan board." This is the opinion of the people who run this site, which actually is a decent site for links and one I go to regularly even though I'm not a Duke fan. Sometimes their opinions are on target, but not this one. And, as GB-Hack points out, there is no specific comment that it cites.

 

But the people that run the site ARE FANS. And I won't defend fans of any team, as I don't think they represent the team in any way.

I liked the Browns. Didn't like the fans that threw batteries.
I like Duke. Don't like douchey fans.


Drawing a comparison is weak.

 

They're definitely delusional fans.

Not that he's done this again since then, but I remember Krzyzewski dressing down a Duke Chronicle (the student newspaper) reporter over writing something negative. So I don't think that it's just some (not all) fans who need to get a thicker skin.

 

Here's the thing, though, playthrough.

Any team at the top gets the "magic carpet ride" from ESPN. Kentucky does/did. I know. I watched it all the time in college when they were playing in three straight title games, winning two of them.

It doesn't negate the fact that they can still question the way stories are presented, especially stories not about the basketball team. If this is, in fact, about the rape case, then the students/fans can do what they want without being called bitches.

Instance, just because my paper may cover a team that has won three state titles in the past four years doesn't mean fans can't bitch if we misidentify a player.

Sucking up 90 percent of the time doesn't change the fact that these students feel the reporting was shoddy (again, assuming that's what this is about).

 

This is the video Bubbler is talking about. It's a parody of "This is Why I'm Hot."

(NSFW because of language at the beginning).

"You even suck at rape" is pretty much the keeper of a line.

 

That's the problem with DBR's rant: It never specifically says what ESPN did to upset them. You could guess that it was coverage of the rape case. But since they don't say, guessing is all you can do.

 

Fair enough.

 

Because I know BYH is going to request it:

 

How exactly would the students even know exactly when the crowd shots are being shown on the air anyways?

 

They're talking, I believe, about before the game when the camera rolls along in front of the crowd with the red light blaring.
