Well then, you're wrong. Also, I didn't falsely label anyone. I feel that Rams fans were only upset with Kosar because he was bashing Rams players. You say it was the manner in which he made his comments but I don't feel that's the case. It was simply because they were "our guys" IMO.
Well, obviously you don't think the label was false, otherwise you wouldn't have said it. The point is that you resorted to labels at all rather than arguments. That's just lazy, and results in arguments which boil down to "You suck!" "No, you suck!"
That said, whether or not Rams fans were unhappy at Kosar for bashing our guys isn't the point. Personally I'm unhappy with Kosar because he dogged our guys AND because he was an unprofessional jackhole. But either way, I didn't get a vote. The Browns decided they didn't want him representing their organization any further. As would any other organization.
Please just stick to "you" and it'll all be simpler. Do you fall into the categories of which I spoke? If not, it doesn't apply to you.
It very arguably does apply to me, because when people trot out the lazy "homer" label, it's generally understood to be applied to everyone who holds a different opinion than the guy who said it.
I think you're confusing things. I don't think the Browns are a horrible organization because of the broadcast, I think they're horrible regardless of the broadcast. But this just goes back to the homogenization and political correctness that I'm talking about. If what Kosar did deserves him to be fired, then the NFL is just one step further away from the game that I used to know.
I don't recall if there was ever a time where team's announcers were allowed to dog on each other. The NFL I remember was about sportsmanship in the end. Calling the opposing players terrible is not sportsmanship.
He had every right to "go there". That's the only reason he's there. And please, Limbaugh got fired because he made racial statements. End of story.
Kosar obviously DIDN'T have every right to "go there". He got fired for it. The reason he was there is to CALL THE FREAKING GAME, not dog on other players. Maybe if he was working for
you, he'd have every right to go there since you don't seem to mind, but he was working for an NFL team who did. And every single other NFL team would have done the same thing.
Limbaugh was brought up because you could make that same argument that what he actually said wasn't that bad, but he crossed a line. For him, it was racial statements. For Kosar, it was dogging on the other team. Their respective employers decided they didn't want people who crossed those lines representing them. That's not PC, that's the free market in action.
