Deadspin Flames article - about couple on TV broaccast

[Moneyhands23]

I can't believe this is a "news" article. Good to run opinion pieces built on preconstucted negatives that are most likely irrelevant lol.

But here we are talking about it. I hope they both enjoyed the game.

I thought they kept showing it because of the popcorn toss in the background

I too was convinced of this.

The rest seems like contrived conjecture to me.

Also.....who cares?

For all we know, she was having an amazing time and just couldn’t smile because she just got Botox injections in her face.

Maybe that girl or guy will see it and set the record straight? The author is plain fabricating pretty much everything from what I read. I just posted it because of the discussion in the GT/PGT and it was Flames related.

Lol poor guy going to get mocked by his friends for awhile. Super weird article. Is it an attempt at satire?

Or she's just a little reserved or shy.

It could be any of a million things.

Who cares?

Honestly, I thought the whole thing was about the lonely Dallas fans and Popcorn guy and now this has exploded into something that was once bordering on super-creepy and has now well and truly crossed that border.

We sat in row 2 on the goal line in the club section one time right beside the camera person. It was really frustrating for me because I was on camera much more frequently than I would have wanted. It felt really awkward for me and it was not enjoyable.

Yikes. Brutal article - Feel bad for both of them. Guy gets slandered online by some hack writer.

[djsFlames]

SN highlights comment section was getting super creepy about the girl too.

I think the boyfriend was actually in the comments trying to stifle the nonsense, but as we all know that's a futile endeavor on the interwebs.

Based on nothing.

Just as plausible is that the woman is just uncomfortable with the camera being right in front of her

Unless they speak to her or have more context to add, this is just dumb.

And this is pretty much what I think. This reeks of some hack trying to get clicks at the expense of regular people without any consideration of potential consequences to them or anything else.

[topfiverecords]

So much wtf. Why would anyone write an article about that, and why would any site host it? Tres cringe.

Give them a finger flip once and they'll avoid you?
Pick your nose?
Stick a cap in front of your face?

Never been in that position, but one of those three is likely my response.

Lol this is so so dumb

First of all it's Deadspin, never the bastion for their spin of journalism even when they tried.

And then Hulk Hogan and their legal team took everything but the toothpaste from them 7 or 8 years ago...they've gone through "woke" unionization and that failed and at least two or three owners who brought the suite of brands (Jalopnik etc) and kept the names.

It was always snarky take but now it's not even intelligence based snark, just drivel.

[djsFlames]

It amazes me in this day and age just how bad people are at minding their own business.

The "d### canoe" comment tells me the writer is someone who probably can't get girls and is sour that that guy is with the girl and not him. People only rip on other people they don't know like that because they're sour about something that person is doing or has and they're triggered by it. There's no other reason for it.

I've taken several girls over the years to games who were casual fans at best, and don't get/comprehend the excitement level of every one else there. Its not at all uncommon. And there's a million different things that can be going on in a girls head that has nothing to do with the writers weirdly specific assumptions there.

Man this playoff run has already brought such a mixed bag of stuff. Whereas '04 was just good vibes alllll the way around.

The smartphone/social media age of nosy, jealous people sucks ass.

It's hard to believe that kind of #### actually bleeds over into people's work.

this is the kind of article where i hope legal actions is taken. i dont mean that tongue in cheek. what low grade journalism frankly bordering on harassment

Was gonna say the same thing. Only read half of it thinking the author knew her or something and was going to add context.

Nope just a garbage article.

Hard to fathom that somebody gets paid to do this.
