Rod Watson on the Bills


Recommended Posts

Rod - instead of writing a click-bait column -- offer some solutions to the ills you describe.  The Say Yes program has raised graduation rates in Buffalo City Schools by 33% the last 3 years.  How about highlighting what's going right and building on it rather than writing a kill-joy column.  Write about surrounding suburban school districts that rank highly.  Write about the economic development around canalside...write about whatever...don't trash the Bills at their finest moment in this century because the managing editor is thinking your columns don't attract readers.....

What a lame idiot who wrote that. This is what passes as journalism these days?

 

Apparently liking sports means you can't be involved in anything else, or follow politics, or be cultured.

If it was a troll piece to stir up attention and controversy, its done it job.

 

Trolling is the new way to bring attention to media personas and to entertainers.

 

They hire online bloggers and commenters to troll one side of a thing which makes another half cape for the 'product' being trolled.

 

This makes consumers aware of the "product" without knowing they are being advertised through blogs and troll threads. Once it hits trolls, white knights, and social media begin to promote for you. With internet at their touch screens they can research and order product right from their fone.

 

F#ckin consumerism

Never mind that by making the playoffs, Bills fans have contributed over $300K to charities to help sick and/or underprivileged kids.  Yeah, just focus on the celebrating of making the playoffs for the entire week it lasts (although hopefully more).  :rolleyes:

His implication was that super-fans suck at life.    

 

Gotta' admit...."vicarious sense of accomplishment" was funny.:lol:

 

There is a lot of truth in what he says about super fans.....................but the problem is that the agenda behind it is that he is furious that there are people out there who aren't totally CONSUMED about the political and social issues that he is.

 

 

 

and look who runs into back him up.  not shocking.

Badol shows amazing empathy for those with horrendous takes.  He knows what it's like.

i assume they're all part of the same angry life club.  they have monthly meetings, bake sales, pay dues, etc.

What we learn here is that sports journalists aren't the only journalists who purposely write something completely against the grain of their readership to manufacturer outrage for the sake of "clicks for advertising revenue."

 

Don't think for a moment that Watson and the BN aren't reveling in all the commentary.

 

Up next for Watson: "She was loved as Leather Tuscadero, but what Suzie Quattro looks like now is unrecognizable!"
