Rider fan and yeah that was completely blown out of proportion....like you said, he didn't actually want the plane to crash, joking in the heat of a rivalry.

Like Kerr was talking about yesterday (quoting others)....people seem to need something to be outraged about all the time....like we can just say "well that was a dumb thing to say" and move on....have to turn it into something it really isn't.
