Yep, where's the pic of the crazed ISU fan coming out onto the court after the KU game last year? You think that guy doesn't throw around the n word when he's out drinking with his friends?

There it is, thanks OK4P! Yep, he definitely looks like a racist to me.
Dude it was one stupid fan who was called out by police and ISU fans then ended up being expelled from school. Let it go. I'd be more worried about your players wanting to stick around Iowa City since they get harassed by their own fans (notice how it is plural).

Well that is the difference between you and me. I'm more worried about homicidal racists.....you are more worried about the Hawkeye basketball team.
Is everyone assiciated with isu a hypocrite? Rhetorical question. Dont answer it dbag.
Transfer epedemic
Matt Thomas hate tweets
Etc etc etc
Yet all Iowa fans harass their players and Fran is such a monster.
Most arrogant/ignorant fans out there.
Sweet 16 doesnt equal dynasty so get off this board. Oh wait, you cant. You all are obsessed with Iowa.

What's your question? He's an admitted racist and wife beater.

Yes, a homicidal racist is much worse than a 13 year old telling a player he sucks.

Here's the just of it:
Newly ranked No. 15 Iowa State had experienced a smaller version of trouble with social media earlier in the season. Freshman shooting guard Matt Thomas was cold shooting the ball and had just been moved to the bench when he started receiving an overload of negative comments on Twitter.
Notice how the word "comments" is plural
Hypocrite. Show me an Iowa fan calling an ISU player the N word and threatening to shoot them and you might have a point.
Are you talking about the guy in the pic. ? We know he beats his wife and is a racist. ? lol I didn't know it

No, it's not. It's the same principle, 40. It may not seem like it when it's turned around to you or me or anyone else.
You or me getting slandered/blasphemed as AW, or Dev. Same thing.
Twitter, blog, HN. Same thing.

I agree with others. Fran should ban social media like Kirk does. The players will be able to survive without it. And grown men can be bitter/jealous anonymously without them knowing about.

The majority of people in society work hard, spend time with their families, have multiple hobbies/interests and live busy lives. They enjoy sports & supporting their favorite teams in their free time. They have values, respect sportsmanship and can appreciate the efforts of players - win or lose. Winning is a bonus that instills pride and good feelings. These people represent 98% of the fan base. They are the ones who fill the stadiums/arenas, make TV ratings soar and donate their time or money. They talk sports among their familys/friends/coworkers etc. People who are content or mostly content don't feel compelled to speak out nor do they care to spend time expressing themselves to strangers.
The root problem with social media/message boards etc. is it provides a platform for the negative/extremist point of view. The gamblers who lost their bet, the folks with drinking/drug problems, the sky is falling negative folks, societies deviants who enjoy disruption, the outcasts who noone will listen to, etc. They all get to spew to an audience that never used to be available to them. They can spread rumors, lies, stories and pretend their opinions are mainstream, simply because 98% of the world isn't here to shut them down. Most of the live chat rooms on the internet were forced to shut down. All forums have to be moderated. It's the nature of the beast I guess, but sad that the few can always ruin things for the majority.
What amazes me is that McCabe/White/Jok/Woodbury etc. are responding in any way to the half a dozen idiots out there and calling them fans. What's gotten into these players heads? The entire state of Iowa was thrilled by their performance this year. Why are they trolling the internet looking for a pat on the back/headlines. My kids were taught in grade school and are still taught every year how to safely & intelligiently use social media. There will always be people who are able to find fault with & criticize anything. An intelligient person learns from criticism, uses it as motivation or ignores it when it's irrational. I think the Iowa players need a class in something and I'd agree Fran should ban all social media at least until the players display more maturity.
