I'm going to just lay it all out for you right here in this post so that there is no confusion or debate in the future.
I don't want to ban you. You seem to dance to a different drummer, but this forum would be pretty boring without unique personalities.
I have no problem with criticizing players, or not being a fan of a particular player. But, I don't think it is appropriate to make it personal and to be mean spirited.
Examples:
OK: "Player X isn't good enough to start for a Big 12 team. He should be a guy who comes off the bench for this team".
Not OK: "Player X is one of the worst players I have ever seen. His scholarship needs to be given to someone else. He belongs on a Division 3 team".
OK. "Player Y isn't hustling tonight. He seems like he is turning the ball over on every possession"
Not OK: "Player Y is trash. My grandmother is a better player than him".
I think legitimate criticism is fine. I think it is fine to not be a fan of a particular player. But, I think we should assume that the players see what is written about them. They are adults, and should have thick enough skin to handle criticism when they repeat the same mistakes, or don't put forth their best effort. But, there is no need for personal/hateful attacks.
