Quote:I get all of that.  But there is something else to consider.

 

The Khans (Shad and Tony), have all of the power here-notably the team.

 

As public figures and owners of a product (professional football in Jacksonville), they are naturally going to be subject to criticism from dissatisfied fans.

 

But when the criticism turns personal, especially against someone who has little to no sway over football matters (and ultimately the end product with which we are all dissatisfied), it becomes patently unfair, and in the case of Jacksonville, potentially dangerous.

 

The thing is...IF this team was doing good, then fans would be embracing the kind of openness that we have with our team (Jaguars.com coverage is amazing, for example, what with all the videos and player features). I think the whole nerd thing is weak, but as others have pointed out, there was one comment that went waaaaay over the line.
