RCMBers sexually harass (and otherwise harass) Daily columnist [Locked]

Welcome to the Internet

That article was an atrocity. She deserves at least some of the shit she is getting. That's the beauty of freedom of speech. She can write what she wants, but she can also get torn to shreds on social media when what she writes is garbage.

P.S. The article sucked. Author was trying a little too hard to sound too cool to care.

25 years without a Rose Bowl appearance can do that to some people.

I certainly don't agree with most of what the RCMBers said, that article sucked.  I felt like she was just making fun of sports fans or Michigan students who drink or guys in fraternities (all three of which I am/was) and she was the one who decided to take an unnecessary stab at MSU to begin with - as if Michigan students don't go get drunk at Rick's.

The homophobic slurs and insults on her looks are not OK.  But the RCMBers who ripped on her article were pretty correct.  In fact, I'm upset with the way she portrayed my school.

"We may never know how it feels when a graduate student instructor cuts discussion short because they know we’ve all had a “rough night” rooting for the team at Rick’s American Cafe — well, unless we transfer to Michigan State."

She deserves to be trashed, and your self-righteous attitude doesn't seem a legitimate response to the article. The article is inflammatory. For all the complaints of MSU's inferiority complex, some Michigan fans, or Michigan affiliates, such as the author of this article, seem to engage in equally detestable behavior. That said, the homophobia is inappropriate. 

Not sure why you would be saddened by our lack of attention to this. I'd be happy that our fans aren't wasting their time on that POS site.

I'm not sure what else you can do about a bunch of anonymous d*ckheads on the internet. 

I bet this thread will get locked. FWIW I hated the article. The Sparties comments are typical for any internet comments page. I watched the Drew Sharp live blog Monday before the game, even right there in front of his face, people were biggots and rude. I hate Drew Sharp as much as the next guy, but damn. Tis the way of the internet. 

Wow...by no means do I condone the violent comments made, but that is possibly the worst Daily article I've ever seen.

After reading the article, my first thought was "God, this girl needs to get laid."

So while I didn't blatantly write that in the comments, I don't think we could deride the RCMBers for their sentiment.

Wow, just read that article for the first time. That was one of the worst pieces of "journalistic" crap I've ever read. There are always going to assholes who cross the line. It's unfortunate and pathetic, but there are also worse things in life than a faceless douche writing something online. But yeah, that article was trash and the real asshole in this situation is the editor who decide to publish it.

Well, the article was atrocious, and while that doesn't excuse "sexual harrassment," you're reading the commentary from a rival team's internet message board, which is known to be a haven for the semi-lucid.
