Florida State Fan Goes over the line

    Haha I actually wasn't. I'm a student. Just the common views of an Oklahoman. I see your point that this is just garbage, but there's gotta be a line somewhere, random crap on twitter or not.

    Did the drunken idiot break the law?

    I'm not following why the school would try to disciple the student

    You can't regulate morality, but free speech is a protected thing.

    Oh, and people outside Okalahoma *were* affected by the bombings. Just because it happened on your soil doesn't make it yours.

    When did I say that it didn't affect people
    Outside of Oklahoma? Pretty sure I said it was the second biggest act of terroism in our countries history. I'm not some ignorant asshole, though maybe I am for not realizing that the messenger would get ripped to more shreads than the dumbass who wished that Tony Jeffersons family would be butchered in front of him.

    This is the post I was referring to. You lay your own claim on the act of terror and pretend the bombing didn't affect anyone else.

    If you think what the idiotic fan said is the worst thing ever, then you must be new to college football.

    As someone said previously, if it's a player or coach, it's one thing. But from a fan, it's nothing. Considering the FSU-UF rivalries of old, it ranks more on the lines of something that'd take place on a Tuesday in May at any given bar in or between Tallahassee and Gainesville.

    You know what? I'm sorry for you and Oklahomans, but it sounds like, from a journalist's angle, you're a little too close to the story to be impartial with it. In fact, if you were a personal friend of Austin Box, I would hope you're recusing yourself from writing anything about the issue.

    No surprise. They're Floridians, or New Yorkers that got lost in the sun.

    Bryan Stow and family probably wish Twitter was the worst kind of fan abuse he encountered.

    Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words? Holy shit, those things can be fatal.

    If stupid internet words make news, then SportsJournalists.com would be on the NY Times regularly.

    TWITTER!!11

    FACEBOOK!!!111

    SOCIAL MEDIA!!!111!!

    Seriously: Not news. The mainstream media needs to stop reacting to everything posted on Twitter and Facebook. Lazy journalism, pure and simple. And that's not a shot at this particular reporter. It's the culture right now.
