Quote:For me personally, I'll tell you why and it goes back several years.

 

Several years ago there was a group of fans that was getting together to form a kind of organized club.  It was lead by a guy named Rob who formed "[BAD WORD REMOVED]".  We did a few activities and "meet ups" with other Jaguars fans as well as did stuff during training camp and game days (anyone remember the teal mohawks?).

 

Part of the initial website included a podcast that had Rob, Alfie and a guy named Charlie as the hosts.  I used to record it, edit it and publish the final recordings onto the website.  During the recordings I could listen to everything that they were saying when they were "on the air", and I was recording the whole time.  During one of the "breaks" in between segments, I heard them talking about their very members in a very bad way.  They were mocking people's appearances, sexual orientation and making fun of one particular member that was handicapped.  I didn't think that was very cool and when I brought it up, I was "fired" from my voluntary "job".

 

Needless to say, [BAD WORD REMOVED] eventually folded up and for a while, the domain redirected to BCC.  Guess who runs BCC?  Alfie who is one of the ones mocking fans because of their appearance and/or sexual orientation or disability.

 

That's the truth and the reason why I will not go to BCC.  If I really cared, one day I might dig out the old recordings and make it public.  The only reason I won't now is because it does name certain active posters on this board, and the comments said from them are truly hateful and disrespectful.  [BAD WORD REMOVED] has gone away and I'm pretty sure that BCC won't be around very long.

 

The only site I recall these guys running before BCC was SBnation I think it was? I joined but I wasn't very active at all. I really only joined because Dav converted to that site and I liked Dav a lot, but couldn't handle Charlies ego. He since made a bit of a name for himself in the Miami market, I think it is.

 

This is interesting to say the least, especially because they belittle anyone who makes homophobic remarks on twitter on a regular basis. Very interesting.
