NSFL: Never Something Fun League?

**manicmav36** · (This post was last modified: 09-11-2017, 03:00 PM by manicmav36.)

First, I would like to say that everything below here are my feelings alone, and do not reflect on anyone or are not necessarily shared by anyone on the Baltimore Hawks. I'm sure the comments here will prove my point but, I'm very disappointed in what the NSFL has become recently.

When I joined, the league seemed like a friendly place, with some good-natured shit-talking sprinkled throughout. Now, however, it seems to be a league run by (and filled with
) gossip-spreading, mean-natured, teenage girls. It's a shame when as a member of the Baltimore Hawks, I feel like I can't show my face on the boards or on Discord without preparing to be shit on for everything I do. Just look at our recent team announcements. Not a single positive comment to be had. I joined to have fun WITH other people, not AT THE EXPENSE OF other people. This league should be ashamed with themselves. This attitude does not foster growth, or an active league. It will be the dath of the NSFL as you drive good-natured, friendly people awa. Maybe some of you agree with me on that but, it sure doesn't seem like it.

I'd love for someone, anyone, to prove me wrong. I just don't think you will. Please direct your shit talking at me, and not my teammates.

I hope this isn't a shot at my article series. That is meant for pure entertainment and does not reflect my feelings about anyone. I really do like 98% of the members here and always want to help the community grow.

I think the anti-Hawks trolling gets really old and is not funny and provides nothing enjoyable for the league (stares at Archon).

BUT in the league's defense that logo is pretty much objectively ugly (not saying I could do any better).

Agree. The league's community used to be the best part. I can blame some of it on me, as the Gibson article shattered the perfect calm of the league and paved the way for future scandal and troll articles.

The OP is probably directed in large part to me, but I'll reply anyway. I consider Ricardo Sandoval to be a friend, and I've given him a lot of shit. He takes it in stride and gives it right back at me, which I respect. I didn't think he took offense to the criticism of the new logo, at least not to the comment I made about it looking like it was cut out of construction paper with safety scissors, judging by his reply that I need better insults. I would think that if you did not take yourself so seriously, you would have more fun. If a media article is bad, ignore it or release your own where you shit on it. A mistake I made a few weeks ago was to go negative in an out of character context (in a Sabercats media thread) - now if I'm going to insult a player/team it will be in the media section in the OP so I can get paid, and so people can insult me right back either in my thread or in their own where they can be paid. I'm open to a dialogue though concerning my actions in the league.

Your article is clearly in good-natured fun. They aren't the issue.

I 100% agree. I feel like our team no matter what happens constantly get shits on and I'm tired of it. Yes Archon being an annoying troll is part of it, but it's hardly just him.

As I mentioned in the article, I have no problem with some good, old-fashioned shit talking. You however, seem to go out of your way to shit all over the Hawks every opportunity you get. I wouldn't bother wasting my time looking through your media post history, but I would wager a large portion are directed squarely at my team, and not in a positive way. I don't need all rainbows and puppys but, come on man. Clearly, you seem like an intelligent guy. Maybe cut the number in half. You certainly aren't the only one though.
