OT: 87th Obsequious Banter Thread: Don't be Brash

[Lord Defect]

What kind of piece of shit do you have to be to send hate messages to athletes like Sloan Stephens. I know this isn’t the first time but JFC what a bunch of goddamn cowards

I tend not to follow celebrities or sports people online, can a brother get a little context?
Im sure I agree with you 100%, I just want the story.

Am I crazy in thinking this giraffe could have made the handler have a really bad day if it wanted to? Just a little flick of the neck should send dude flying.

She lost a tennis match and people have slid into her DM’s saying that they’re going to find her and break her leg among other things because she lost.

People are f***ing weird. Why would that thought even enter your brain?

Anonymity is a hell of a drug.

She got threatening, abusive, and racist messages after losing at the US Open. Some vile stuff that I can't repeat. Just read some of the news stories if you want to see for yourself.

Those other things being racist and sexist attacks.

This country should be deleted.

People take sports too seriously. This coming from someone who thought he took hockey too seriously.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

We’ve always had death threats & such before the internet & social media. But that took more effort which probably weeded out a decent amount of people who now can just fire off tweets from their couch at the conclusion of a sporting event.

 

[DancingPanther]

Is it that wrong to want as much information as possible before making a decision?

At this point, information is plentiful

I kind of always enjoy the fans that tweet at team’s Twitter accounts like anybody other than an intern is possibly going to see it. I’m not even talking like the nasty vile stuff but people who bitch to these accounts like a coach &/or GM is sitting there reading them.

I never heard of the person, chances are with how shit the world is that two people with the same name had dumb shit happen to them. Thanks for the story.

Rest in Peace.

just watched him kill it last year in Lovecraft Country...RIP

It’s not solely a US issue. It happens everywhere.

The human race should be deleted.

Yes, and it’s ongoing. Hence why I mentioned boosters and third shots. Efficacy rates for various strains seem to flop around a little bit as well.
I just want a little stability with the information out there before I pull the trigger.

Was that any good? I keep forgetting I have hbo.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Sloane Stephens is a national treasure. Her press conference after winning the US Open was one of the best ever.

oddly enough..i still haven't returned for the final episode..but yes it was good

River Runner. (On Netflix)

Doc about a guy trying to run the 4 rivers originating from Mount Kailash. Bit of a slow start but some nice shots, and picks up. Guys involved have balls the size of melons.

Sounds like something I would be very interested in! Will have a gander.

It’s just the harassing and abusive messages she gets on instagram . There are stories out there. Just like that female gymnast who is battling mental health issues getting harassed over that.
I hate people sometimes

It’s like the hockey version of Tiger King.

I watch what could probably be described as "too much" of the various Zoo shows (and the Aquarium ones) on Animal Planet. I've learned a lot about various species from these shows and my favorite thing that I've learned so far is that giraffes are dumb. Like really stupid. And nervous. Just a giant necked stupid and panicky horse that has a kick that could kill you.

I would not take one to the beach. There is no telling what could happen with that imbecile roaming around.
