"Fans" go after EJ Liddell after #2 Seed Ohio State falls to a #15 seed

[Franisdaman]

Reporters are retweeting this so I think it's ok to post. Warning: the language is bad.

At the end of this post, see D'Mitrik Trice's comments; it is not just Iowa players who get attacked by "fans;" this seems to be a pretty common occurrence for players, no matter the school.

I’d be extremely embarrassed if I saw Iowa fans doing this. This is disgusting what these people are doing.

 

[iahawks10]

The outside world wonders why you have Instagram or Twitter to begin with.

Even still, that is absolutely disgusting to read. People do suck and go out of their way to show it. Good on Trice to show some support.

 

[markfromj]

Some people do suck.

FiFY.

Iowa "fans" do this type of sheet all the time after a loss.

And we think it gets bad on this forum?

 

[ronnh]

It just shows how low and disgusting our culture has gotten. No respect for anyone anymore. Our culture thinks its okay to kill an unborn baby up until the day it is born. So why does this kind of talk surprise anyone.

 

[mstp1992]

This behavior is beyond disgusting. These are 18-22 y/o. They do not deserve such vitriol.

iowa fans said some pretty despicable things on here about players who spoke out about racism in the football program. Were you embarrassed then?

 

[TheTruthTheWholeTruth]

I’m not shocked. We have many posters here who cross the line quite often.

 

[pocha444444]

They should be going after Washington, not Liddell. Liddell kept them in the game. Washington single handedly lost it.

Yes this seems like the perfect place to bring up abortion. Thought for a second I was on HROT board.

Shows what people think they can say anonymously. Disgusting. Ohio State player is handling it as best he could

 

[herkhatescy]

Pretty ****ing simple. Stay the **** off Twitter.

Why do the players have Instagram or Twitter? Because they can and they should be able to.

What kind of fvcking question is that after what was posted in the OP?

Yes. I didn’t post in those threads because it was way too uncomfortable for me to get involved in that.

Iowa fans do take it way too far quite often, but I’ve never seen them hurl death threats.

Social media is becoming more and more toxic by the day. This is the only such platform I have any affiliation with anymore and don’t miss anything else one bit.

Lol

Agreed. People should be able to be on Twitter or Instragram without people DM'ing them crap like that. People wonder why players may seem cynical toward fans.

 

[DodgerHawki]

You are a piece of work. It's okay to go after Washington because he played bad? How about people not go after any players with crap like that.

 

[bojihawk44]

The players? Why should they have to stay off Twitter?

 

[pocha444444]

I didn't mean they should go after him, I could have worded that better. I just meant it was misdirected anger. I don't know how anyone could watch that game yesterday and determine that Liddell is the one who lost it when Washington was throwing up brick after brick down the stretch.

I wlll agree with that. Washington played as poorly as I've seen him. He is a good player who had a bad game. It happens. These aren't robots who are incapable of playing bad. Especially with "lose and the season is over" looming over you.

 

[Hawkfan_08]

These are the types of people who deserve to be cancelled.

 

[mtown66]

Just read those vile posts from OSU ''fans'' and think about who says things like that in those words. Keep that in mind when trashing people with a broad brush.

No sheet, I wish God would make sexual assault, fraud, insurrection, antisemitism, lying, sex outside of marriage, murder, etc a sin but no we have to worship the golden calf with those kind of faults. Of which I am surprised God's fine with the worshipping of a golden idle. This is the right board for this isn’t it?

 

[Raptorpeeps]

Wanna go to a “glamour” school?

This is the other side.

Not a thing surprises me about it.

 

[HawkIDrummer]

good god, what the hell is wrong with some of these people.

 

[83Hawk]

I’m not shocked. We have many posters here who cross the line quite often.

Yep, the OT board is full of them. Angry, hateful, miserable people who live angry, hateful, miserable lives.

Unfortunately, this is what society has become. And it will only continue to get worse. My advice to people: stay off Twitter and all similar platforms. Don’t spend most of your waking hours with your face glued to your phone. Stop acting like idiots and learn to respect others, especially those who may have different opinions than you.

The people trashing Liddell are scum.

Yeah, this is shocking behavior. Not anything about this scenario should be expected just because a kid plays at a high profile school. Jesus.

 

[KcTo]

Twitter should cancel those accounts

 

[IllQChawk]

I might have my moments but social media is the worst. These kids did unspeakable things to get through the season so their fans had something to cheer about and they turn on them like purana feeding on dead meat.
Although in retrospect, if Twitter or Facebook were around during any of Iowa's early departures from the tournament in the late 70's, 80's, or 90's the results would have been the same.
There are no difference in fan bases....

Yeah. That's the point of this discussion. Rip into a different player instead.

 

[pocha444444]

My point was misdirected anger. I disagree with calling out a guy on social media, that's lame. For the idiots doing it though, they don't even have the right guy.

 

[jdv77]

I don't think that Twitter should cancel their accounts. I think that Twitter should post their real names so that they can't hide behind their twitter handle.

 

[illinielite]

While it would be logical to assume they were OSU fans, given the anonymity of an online user it could have been anyone. A fan from a rival school trying to stir things up, who knows. It is ridiculous and embarrassing and any fanbase that did this should be ashamed.

 

[mstp1992]

Looks like police might be looking into the threats.
Those idiots may not be anonymous for much longer.

One of my many rules in life, I will never personally trash someone for having a bad day doing something I wouldn’t be able to do at their level any day.

So true....the rival fans stir up trouble for us and everyone else in the country. Hope the truth of who they are comes out eventually. I would love to expose all of those dudes.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

“Fans” like this are a small minority, but unfortunately shit like this is what we hear about because it’s beyond disgusting.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

I also agree that rival “fans” do this stuff like this too in order to stir the pot.
