Ya I get it. I'm in the box complaining about players in the box. I even point that out in my rant and it has been pointed out multiple times in this thread. I'm glad you were able to pick up on that. I'm just wondering if fans feel a disconnect or if they enjoy the soap opera aspect?

I definitely agree that we are going through a phase of high level accelerated interaction pattern changes in our age. Twitter is a fantastic example for this. And this change sometimes shows pathetic sides of things you did not know and idolized alongside the conflict between generations.

But this certainly is not limited with athletes. In fact Twitter helps evening things for the good of fans. Now you can reach out to unreachable people. We are on the same platform. You can say FY to a Lebron post and he will read it. So I think it adds to communication becoming more universal and interaction gap becoming more narrow.

Maybe so... The numbers would tell you that most sports are more popular than ever. It just seems like social media breeds so much negativity. I wonder if fans or players will get tired of it all, especially the negativity. I think there will be a point of over-saturation, for me it seems to be happening quickly.

It wouldn't be the first time someone thought that "technology" was ruining something great it one way or another.

I am actually a big fan of social media and sports. It is an amazing live update on your teams. Personnel moves, FO decisions, training camps, trades, injuries, rehab...

Also they are right in a sense with their "don't understand comments". None of us are elite millionaire athletes. Their personal opinions do not bother me. I'm following them because they play for the Jazz, not because I look to them for social, religious, political... guidance. I have no problem with them using their voice how they see fit.

I don't. It's just freakin overloaded everywhere you look. It's impossible to watch any games without all the he said she said bs not to mention the "political opinions" of all these guys that need attention.

I've been watching most regular-season games on mute for about 2 seasons. Try it.

It's more than that... it's more than just a generational gap too. I'm not that old. I work on a college campus with college age students all day. I feel like the gap is widening with players. I find them more annoying than ever.

Best part of athletics is when they exit their sphere of sports and try to impact the world positively.

**** anyone who tries to constrain any human of his or her ambition to change the world
