Sojourner Posted 15 hours ago Posted 15 hours ago 15 minutes of nothing. Very concerned with the conversation between Dion Dawkins and Jones, not to mention the laughing together after that stop when there’s still time on the clock and we had 3 TOs. The exchange isn’t a problem after the game but during with the circumstances still make it in play is a sour taste for me. Quote

They are the ones who are so invested. Players are competitors and play for their livelihood, but they aren't as emotionally invested like fans. And they respect each other as competitors. It doesn't change anything while plays are happening. They are still trying to destroy the man across from them. 1 Quote

You’re fine with a guy on our team, when there’s still a chance to play, laughing and joking with another guy after he says “we going back y’all… good game…”? Again, that happening when the game clock hits zero, cool. Right after you fail a 4th down and still have a chance? After playing in high school and collegiately I understand what you’re saying, there’s a camaraderie for sure, but handshakes and laughs aren’t a thing until afterward. Fair play to you bro lol Quote

I felt much the same at the time, even though there was technically a chance. I can see why you might be annoyed with it. I'm just not. 1 Quote

I can see why you might be annoyed with it. I'm just not. That’s fair and can respect the difference I just think it’s a bit distasteful to be embracing a celebrating opponent when the game is still in play and to be had if things go right. Again, after the clock hits zero it’s all good. Game is over. You congratulate, pay your respects and enjoy the moments going forward or reflection Quote
