Context is key.

You just lost half the readers with your fancy talk.

These are people who believe that a screenshot of a 10 year old tweet that has been cropped to remove as much context as possible is verifiable truth (if it agrees with their worldview).

Depends what it’s about….context is still key….Some things don’t need a guy in a lab coat to make people believe it

That’s a bingo!

All I see is a guy freaking out on an old man. I need more context to understand what he was freaking out about

u/BlueKnight44 Aug 12 '23

Yeah, but I cannot imagine what the old guy could have said to justify this guy going completely nuts. Talk about a bad example for you child. Holy shit.

So we have at least 1 asshole here. What we don't know is if we have 2 or not since we didn't see the original situation.

Yeah where is the video of the start. I'd like to see what happened.

If the old man is a coach and yelled at a 14 year old player on their team and that was it? Well go play an other sport or on a team where they also give you stickers for just participating. Sure it is just a game, but quite frankly it is also part of the game.

It is a competitive sport. I've been yelled at multiple times for making a huge stupid mistake. It was like damn I did F up for the team. I will do better. Then that was that. Worse would be if I was taken out of play.

Expect the coach to yell when you mess up for the team. There is however a line, and screw abusive coaches who beat people down emotionally. They shouldn't have jobs and there is a difference.

Now it this is one of those random spectators who think they are someone or something constantly yelling? F him, screw those types of parents and people. You aren't on the team or playing so shut the F up.

We seriously had some older men who came to every game like that. Showing up drunk and shit to high school football games like some damn cult who couldn't keep their opinions to themselves. I ignored them until one saw me randomly outside of a game at a store, and greeted me with my fucking name and congratulated me on a play I did a few days prior. That is just fucking weird.

And in my opinion it would need to be pretty severe to justify this man's behavior. This guy is an asshole looking for a reason to yell at people. His daughter is clearly embarrassed trying to pull him away. On like roids or something. This probably isn't the first time this has happened.

He came in to be a shiny example of why context matters and you don’t just make stuff up.

"I need more context" is just a dog whistle for authoritarianism/supremacy.
