So I'm reading the tweets after today's Bluejays' loss and it amazes me how a mob mentality can work on social media.
Jays radio pre/ post game host and twitter savie guy, Mike Wilner, was doing his usual fielding of questions ( most of which could have been answered by looking up the jay's official web page ) when things got ugly. These so called Toronto fans ask for an opinion, misquote stats and then do everything but call Wilner stupid for defending his tweets.
Hey You Guys Lighten Up. Yes the boys are 1-6, yes they aren't hitting on all cylinders and yes it is frustrating but HELLO we still have 100 games or so,of a season to go.
True baseball fans understand this and true Jays fans understand that crap happens especially when playing the #2 team in the majors.
The kind of verbal barrage sent across cyberspace that these fans tweeted was for all intents and purposes Bullying. Now Mike is a big boy and he isn't shy in telling people off but even he had had enough and signed off.
It is no wonder we have a hard time discouraging bad behavior in our youth when we can't police ourselves .
Lighten up people if you don't like the product don't watch the product.
