Maybe my use of the word "thug" was overemphasized, but the behavior of all the players at the end of the game is still inexcusable. I didn't think that one word could turn into such a huge debate and be taken so literally, out of context, and end up becoming a class on criminology/ethics; but since I've been on this board for 5 years now, and knowing some of the people on here; I'm really not surprised, or even offended in the slightest; by some of the criticism that I've received over this. Or that people would nitpick me for one word, rather then talk about the behavior at the end of the game in general. I am totally numb to what other people have to say to me at this point.

 

 

Welcome to the Jaguars MB.

 

Jagswilldestroyyou,  I can't speak for anyone else.  But I'm not disturbed at all at what you expressed in this thread.   We see the situation what occurred at the end of the Super Bowl at least somewhat different.   Yet,  I respect your point of view.

 

Ideally,  the Super Bowl would have ended cleanly.    Yet,  considering the stakes of the game and how the game changed at the blink of an eye,   it's not surprising what occured following Malcolm Butler's interception that turned likely victory for the Seahawks into one of the most painful losses any of us have ever witnessed a team to have gone through.   That's saying something for me considering I've been an NFL fan for 4 1/2 decades.  

 

One thing I have very little tolerance for is criminal behavior that endangers others.   If I thought Bruce Irvin acted like a criminal,  I would have expressed it.   One thing I'm not concerned about is being ' politically correct'.   My posts on Political related topics on this MB have illustrated this to the point that I'm convinced that some people won't even acknowledge me on the MB.   It's not something I seek but it's more important to stand up for what you believe is right.    In the case of what happened in the Super Bowl,  I don't think any player crossed the line beyond the heat of battle.   Having said that,   I understand and respect why others feel differently.

 

I certainly enjoy the content and discussions you bring to the MB.   You certainly make this place more interesting and provide the opportunity to learn.   Thank you.
