It's actually spite or maliciousness. Just thought I'd clarify that for you. The emotion is closer to serial killer than comedian. This is actually the most bat s%*# crazy sentence ever written on this board. Like, you shouldn't be a sports fan if you're thinking this way, because you're wishing for other teams to fail so yours can succeed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted Monday at 09:53 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:53 PM I’m never quite sure what the tlr emoji means being completely honest. And this conversation proves nobody else does either, and that’s ok 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naw, if I tried to drive home drunk, and told the cop who caught me that I was super important and should be let off, the cop would laugh at me and hopefully arrest me. I would then have fewer sycophants writing articles about how DUI is a crime for little people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Emoji unfortunately has to be accountable for its own actions, at least more so than the actual person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lip Man 1 Posted Tuesday at 04:20 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 04:20 PM Paul Sullivan got this comment from the Sox on the 'unusual' social media posts: “As we planned for this unfortunate milestone, we were looking to come up with creative ways to acknowledge the reality of the situation, engage with our fans and with a wink, maybe disarm the negativity just a little bit." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoa whoa whoa they PLANNED something and it worked? /Faints The hilarious part is that this absolutely is a strategy cooked up by some 27 year old kid making $40k per year. It’s legit the most redeeming quality of the franchise this season. Brooks will take credit but we all know he was fuming until the millennial employee showed him the before/after in engagement stats and explained how social media actually works. Guarantee this 20 something kid had to put together a slide deck to explain to mid management and executives what things like “ratio’d” means. Hell they might have had to explain the difference between Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. No chance anyone knew what TikTok was or that they even had one.
