The Seahawks showed us their true colors at the end of the game...


Quote: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.
Thank you for understanding D6. I respect your opinion too. I'm sorry about some of the things I said earlier and if I might have offended anyone. I should have used a different terminology like "distasteful", "disrespectful", or anything else that implied unprofessionalism. I can understand why the Seahawks felt the way they did; and about the way that defeat was literally snatched from the jaws of victory for them; but the way that some players such as Bruce Irvin decided to act and take out their frustrations on the Patriots, rather than just shake hands and say "good game man" like true professionals, was too much for me to stand.

 

 

Obviously I let my emotions get the better of me by starting this thread; and there's definitely a lesson in all of this that we can learn from about emotional intelligence, and general miscommunication. Understand that I was not offended just as a football fan, but as a man in general by Bruce Irvin's actions. If the Jaguars lost a SB like that, I would be heartbroken beyond comprehension, but I wouldn't take it out on other people. It's just a game at the end of the day.

 

 

Thank you for the kind comments D6. You're probably the only one on here that I know that of who has recognized my intelligence and my contributions to the board. Honestly, thank you.
