Racist UConn fan gives Yahoo another chance to kick the program while it's down

Not sure if this was already posted but this story is about as lame as the Russian Ladies Dream Marriage ad at the top of this page.

People who want to hate are going to hate anyway. I'm not worried about how some anonymous dickbag who is by no iota of evidence a UConn fan reflects on the UConn program. I'm more worried about the guy blogging on Alex's twitter like a gossipy flibbertigibbet, this guy reports on stuff?

what makes you think its a white guy saying it? i hear black people use that term more than whites.

Wow that about sums up Yahoo sports for you. To actually write an article based on Oriakhi's tweets, it's hard to fathom how pathetic that is, they are scouring Alex Oriakhi's twitter account so they can write a story. What do you do for a living? I work for Yahoo sports as a journalist, my main duties are stalking college kids twitter accounts and writing about it.

Yahoo sports has something against Uconn? LOL

Um, not sure how to tell you this, but the ads on this site are tailored to your search preferences. If you're seeing Russian Dream Lady ads, maybe you were on a Russian Dream lady site? Mine shows Subaru ads, even though I bought a new car many months ago.

I'm on a library computer and I haven't had enough Rolling Rocks to find my way to a Russian Dream site (yet). On a side note, here's the current ad at the top of my screen.

There are dumb "fans" of every program. But of course, they choose to only highlight the ones from UConn.

They have the number of the person who sent the text. This should be an open and closed case. I mean seriously. How hard would it be for someone to fake that? Especially after Alex's Papa started to trash Jimmy in the public. People might have turned against Alex and his family and they might have used this as an excuse... it also could have been some ignorant person as well.

For emphasis - why is anyone taking the bait that this person is supposedly a "UConn fan?"

Decent people will read the story and only be upset that a student athlete has to deal with idiots like that. Not worry about whether the story reflects poorly on UConn.

Too bad you can count the number of decent people who've commented at the bottom of that story on one hand.

The opinions of those who've chosen to remain silent is unknown and the high majority of the vocal crowd is piling on UConn.

I've got an Oscar Meyer ad. Is that better or worse than a Russian Dream Lady ad?

Depends. When you were searching the web were you hungry or lonely?

Shot in the dark, but maybe it's because of the (I assume he meant) "traitor" remarks. I hope it isn't, because I would rather not have someone who may or may not have attended the university not know the difference between "trader" and "traitor."

It's obviously a set up by another university to make us look bad. No one is that stupid.

Seriously, like AO couldn't just trace whose number that is?

 

[Adios]

AO IS a trader. He 's trading a scholarship from UConn for one from Mizzou...

Decent Rutgers, Syracuse and BC fans exist???

What in my post even implies that we know it was a UConn fan. My point is that the overwhelming regret from the story should be that a young man was verbally attacked and threatened for no reason.
