I’m replying to this part of the deleted post because it needs to be said from a moderating standpoint although it’s ridiculous to have to repeat this again:
This is a privately-owned football website, with a side order of Everything Else. To ominously suggest that “we’ve lost the plot” because we don’t allow partisan political discussion on a FOOTBALL WEBSITE is ridiculous.
If you feel that strongly, go volunteer to fight in Ukraine, or go actively protest against what’s happening, or write your congressional representatives, or, hell, just go post something on the MAP.
But the rules here are the rules until the private owner of this site changes them, so please don’t try to make this about more than it is. Already the bickering is starting, so it stops here. Take it to the MAP or let it go.
