Hating on BJ ? Not us right ?

[pmedic920]

Saw this on BR. Not sure of the back story. I'm guessing the the 9er fans been giving him a ration of.......

That's just dumb...Niners fans are horrible

Did he really have a say either? I don't know how this waiver wire claim thing works.

Either way, some people need to grow up.

Social media might be atop the list of the very worst things to have happened to professional sports. No?

I take this as the bay area faithful keeping true to their colors and not showing him any love for leaving, though, isn't this sort of transaction uncontrollable by practice squad players? So why hate on the guy?

Not just professional sports, but to all of humanity. As much as social media has done to network people of common interests, it has done an enormous disservice to interpersonal communication and general human decency. I loathe it even as I am guilty of abusing it.

49er fans need a lesson in how the waiver system works.

Social media isn't the problem, human beings are animals (Some, more so than others). Any a-hole can get onto the internet these days and run their mouth without consequence, and it's a damn shame when people are being attacked on a personal level for something out of their control (a good ribbing for the sake of competition is fine, just to be clear).

Only a moron would take a sports rivalry to such a personal level that they feel the need to go out of their way to harass another person (to this measure). Unless that is the role they play, take Skip Bayliss for example. He asks for this kind of negative attention, and calling him out would be appropriate (to an extent, again..it's just a game).

I wish people would direct their hate towards more pressing issues, rather than towards someone trying to make a living (a 23 year old kid fresh out of college at that). I can't recall a time (social media era) that 12s were harassing players to the point they had to be called out for being over the top/aggressive. That thread asking where the hate for SF fans comes from, this incident is one of the many reasons.

Classless, brain dead, backwards thinking, imbeciles gaining notoriety for there actions instead of being known for their prominence and respect for the game and/players are what's wrong with the competitive side of sports (on all levels). Fans have become so disconnected from reality that they believe they're a part of the team and what they say matters, when none of that is true. We're all here to express/share opinions, stories, and to take part in the human experience. Those of us that know our roles just have to put up with those that seem to have forgotten their place.

Then again, it's 8 in the morning and this haze is still lingering in my body. Time for munchies.

If claimed, the new team gains rights to his current contract. So correct, no say in the matter. If he went unclaimed his contract is void and he is an unrestricted free agent and can sign with any team.

 

[CANHawk]

Lol. Yeah, what a bastard. He should voluntarily be unemployed and give up on his life long dream rather than play for that team I don't like...

SMH @ Whiner fans

I think I might have said something like "he's dead to me" or some such crap when Lockett signed with the 9'ers, but I didn't send that message to HIM. Just silly-bugger sports hate. Dude's just trying to make a living. Can't hate on that for real.

 

[hawker84]

Whiners gonna whine.. Shocking? not really .. Go Hawks!!!!!

 

[Hawknight]

You can now find Niner articles under the "Crimes" section of every Bay Area online newspaper. :sarcasm_off:
