A) Calling a spade a spade is not "ripping on players"; nobody should be accused of the latter because they rightly concede that our football team is terrible.
B) If players can't handle criticism, that's their problem, not ours (I'm talking about the 99.9% of us that don't tweet ridiculously nasty and personal things to them, etc.). These are grown adults getting a world-class education for free, being coached by people who take home six- or seven-figure salaries...they don't need to be coddled.
C) I absolutely do not believe in judging other fans by how much they do or don't "support" the teams. I don't care if you wrote the check to bowl in the south end zone or you're a teenager who's never spent a dime on a ticket, none of us has the right to claim superiority in the "supporting the team" department.
