Revisiting an unfair criticism

[Bleu Star]

I can clearly recall when sooooo many of our beloved FanZone loving Cowboys fans were up in arms back when Tashard Choice asked for Michael Vick's autograph seven years ago. Yeah.. Especially where it pertains to my boys, I don't forget anything.



TChizzle was called every name in the book on this board... & I defended him to the bitter end of the upheaval.

Fast forward seven years....

It seems commonplace now for players to exchange or obtain autographs from opposing players after games in the NFL.

Case in point:

Dak signed his jersey for an unnamed KC player a few minutes ago.

&...

Zeke and Kareem Hunt signed/exchanged jerseys as well.

So I ask a simple question.. Was it a tad unfair to chastise Tashard Choice for doing something that no one on this board cares about today? I can guarantee most of you are drowning in beer, wine, or whatever you celebrate a big Boys win with and couldn't care less about the two photos I posted above.

The dog killing and being a rival and choice being a bad player and and the cowboys probably losing that game didn't help

Plus that was before social media so it was less understandable that he would have an affinity for the player. Nowadays we're more aware of all their personalities

Yep... Just searched the first page. Zero threads regarding the exchanges mentioned here.. Lol

Mmmm beer

Millenials

It shouldn’t happen. I don’t care how commonplace it’s become. It was a better game when rivals, and their players, hated each other.

Remember when colombo wrecked deangelo hall who was trying to dive on a pile late ?

We won the game. Go ahead and take a loser's jersey from a team we play once every 4 years.

If I recall, we got beat up in that game against Philly.

Vick was considered one of the most unlikeable players in the league and Choice was a JAG for fans...easy target.

If Brice Butler is asking for Carson Wentz’s autographs after the Eagles game and we lose...expect to see some fans upset.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

Ya, wonder why my Lakers when Magic played the Celtics, he and Kevin McHale didn't exchange their jerseys after a playoff game. The UNFAIR cirticism if he did.

Yea I mean a swap of jerseys means you're on the same level right. Mutual sign of respect. Chasing down the dog killer after he just beat you like you're a fan and not an athlete is different.

 

[Yakuza Rich]

No.

We lost that game.

We won this one.





I still hate it.

It's like Patton once said 'I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed.'

That was one of the more ridiculous controversies in the history of this board.
