JoeF Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 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.....

MJS Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 (edited) 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. Edited January 4, 2018 by MJS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FearLess Price Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 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!" 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Somewhat interesting piece designed to be deliberately controversial. I think "click bait" is the term these days. Seems to have worked; this thread will go to 20 pages before long. PS: Most of my friends who still Iive in WNY (life long Buffalonians) would agree with the author 100% and do not really follow WNY sports.

Straight Hucklebuck Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 (edited) I would ask Rod this: What can I do about schools that are failing or North Korea or drunk driving accidents or the weather knocking out power or starving kids or polar ice caps melting or Buffalo not having enough business or the alt right clashing with activists? I am 35 with a wife and two kids. I pay a mortgage, two cars, insurance and so forth. Work as an engineer for long hours. So I'm supposed to sleep 8 hours a day, work 11 hours a day, be a Dad. Other than rifling off more money am I supposed to take off work so off work so I can hold an Anti-Trump sign in front of a government building? What have the people who GET PAID to work the schools, hospitals, governments, media doing if everything is so bad Rod?

You need to enlarge and diversify your circle of friends then. JMHO. No disrespect meant. As for non sports fans. Sports are for you know SPORTS FANS. Not tree huggers, or art lovers, or museum fans, or garage salers, or antiquers, or political fans, or movie buffs, or scrap bookers, or coin collectors, or bird watchers, or music lovers,......etc etc... To ea their own. I don't criticize anyone else for enjoying something they love. Tell that Rod jerk to get out of my parade or he will get run over by a bunch of happy souls.
