Rule #1: Don’t DM opposing players

[Ghost of the HEB]

Especially if you’re a working professional with all of your business info on your profile. Hate when our fan base gets black eyes like this. Nothing that happens on a football field warrants this kind of hate.

GM, I’m offended by a fan who DM my Son a horrible Hate message. We all get a lil emotional over our fav teams & players but Student Athletes r still kids in our adult eyes & they have parents that ❤️ them just as U❤️ your 2 sons Dr. A.J. Proctor@proctordental.

Saw this earlier today, this guy is a complete jackass. I don’t care who the opposing team is, you don’t ever do s**t like this. I’m ashamed that he’s a Ute fan. I’d like to see the University ban him from attending any future games, for any of our teams.

We all need to be better than this and treat opposing players and fans with civility and respect.

[Heike]

So much for any moral high ground our side had over ASU’s ‘dirty play.’ Such fans are a blight on all of us.

[EagleMountainUte]

What was originally said by that fan?  I don’t really agree with doxing either. 

[Utesbyfive]

“You piece of s**t! Go f**k yourself and die for targeting Zach Moss. You were p**sed for getting ejected but you should be p**sed for being such a worthless pile of s**t.”

[EagleMountainUte]

Yeah that guy needs to take up yoga or something. It was really poor tackling from Fields he sat out for it. This whole head hunting thing is blown way out proportion.  It is definitely approaching rivalry because of the way each team recruits players. 

Feels like a lot of people didn’t learn from the zoob douche. Making broad over generalizing statements not based on facts. 

[Ghost of the HEB]

That’s the outrage culture we have on social media these days. No, it is not right that he should have his business attacked because of it. But if you’re gonna be dumb enough to tell a college athlete to “go f** yourself and die” and call him a “worthless pile of sh**” there’s gonna be some unintended consequences.

The most puzzling part of this is that the message came a day after the game. We all get caught up in the heat of moment and say things we don’t mean, but how did he get that angry and lose control the day after?

[EagleMountainUte]

Yeah I wonder about his frame of mind a full day after this.

I was pretty upset about the way Asu played on Sunday. I was more upset with Herm Edwards and I have posted extensively already on my opinion of him.

When your AD gets on twitter to condemn your tweet. . .
Says they will look for this guy. Sounds as if there may be ramificarions.

[Central Coast Ute]

Harlan said that? Maybe a ban is coming

[Central Coast Ute]

I hate douche bag fans like this. Why engage with players from other teams at all?

[EagleMountainUte]

Why engage with any of the athletes other than to be supportive of your own guys?

[St George Ute]

Nice to see AD Harlan addressing the situation so quickly:

Looks like the dentist office website has even removed his bio off their page (there’s still a pic of him on the home page, but his bio is gone from the “Team” link). I’m guessing their office has received a lot of backlash today as well.

[Utah5410]

That was a dirty play, a dirty hit. I think the entire team is dirty not just from this game but form previous games. But DMing kids is just wrong. He’s still a kid who is playing a game basically for free. No good can come from it.

[ironman1315]

Here comes Harlan like mad dog snarling with the ban hammer.

Dude deserves it.

[javadave]

Note to self: use Pierre Delecto account when DMing student athletes

[PlainsUte]

Yeah, Ron Mexico is already taken.

[javadave]

dup sorry. Not sure how to delete.

[RUUTES]

That guy needs some serious anger management therapy…and some medicine to increase his IQ if he’s posting his s**t up publicly like that. Social Media has lobotomized our country. This guy is proof. I’m good with some fan base or TEAM smack but going directly after some kid with death or injury wishes is…bent.

[PlainsUte]

Must have inhaled too much mercury and lead from the amalgam filling fumes!

[ladyinred]

Totally agree. This whole incident is gross and this guy just looks like a sociopath.

[Josh]

I’m an acquaintance of this guy. Never would have expected this behavior from him.

[Tony (admin)]

Have to wonder if he’s under some unusual stress or something I guess.

[ladyinred]

So I just saw his apology statement. He does state he is seeking professional help already. Good plan.
