I used to like this board because there was always some lively conversations about all kinds of topics, not just sports. Many of you guys are really intelligent, witty, ironic, sarcastic, as well as good writers. But this kind of shit makes it less fun. Everyone is entitled to an opinion but the mean spirited points of view are just boring. I would log on to find something funny or thought provoking but that seems to happen less and less. I am not naming names but it almost seems like there is a competition to see who can be the biggest __________________. (fill in the blank)

"Williams can be seen deboarding a converted school bus, professionally redone in grey and white paint, displaying a government-agency-like-seal, and vehicle lettering with phrases like “Deportation Bus”, “Follow Me to Mexico”, and “Danger! Murderers, Rapists, Kidnappers, Child Molesters, and Other Criminals on Board.”

Meh, the problem is it used to mostly be people being douchebags about sports and media who would sometimes be douchebags about politics. Other than ltg, being douchebags about sports and media is mildly amusing even when you're on the opposite side and you could ignore the douchey political posts because there was so much other content. Now it's people being being mostly douchebags about politics and every once in a while posting about sports.

"The Hawk" is a good example. Started out by posting a few interesting sports thoughts, but now it's mostly the same uninteresting partisan hack posts everyone makes in political threads. I mean, whatever, but why the fuck would you join a sports message board to mostly post about politics? Plus, this board has like High A level political posting, maybe AA on a few subjects. Political posting here is padding stats and beating up on nobodies.

2019 may feature sports and radio discussion at some point, but I doubt it. Most people who are tired of this horse shit will move on or go into hiding until it's no longer savvy around here to be a racist or a MAGA.

I will be drunk in less than an hr.

I think The Hawk is a mult.

Trump has to be a factor. He has riled up so many people who were never political.

For me, I am very interested in sports, business and politics. I have shown my failings on topics like good beer, music, pop culture, pro wrestling, golf, and new home purchasing (had to put that in there).

But it is strange that this board seems obsessed with politics and DiCaro.

There's also an issue with brain dead hot takes taking the place of real content. Not that this website is in any way on par with The Onion, but around the time The Onion moved from Madison to New York their content started to become more mean-spirited. It was mostly as humorous as it was before, but it just wasn't as fun to read.

There are more people willing to post about politics, and those who do are volume posters, it seems.

Plus Chicago sports sucks and sports talk radio has been replaced. We are all also older and probably have less time to listen to sports radio (or care to).

I think the board is at its best when we're discussing dumb topics like wearing sports coats on airplanes or banging Caillou's mom or pedophilia.

Oh, that's been clear for some time.

Best post in the thread by far.

I love the abbreviation of "hour." LTG's like, "Fuck all this. I ain't even writing this shit out. Pass me the bottle."

Shit. I thought he was legit. I pretty much have no clue what I'm talking about in most arenas.
