Are you suggesting that if you are not a fan, you can't criticize? That's not realistic nor is it even appropriate!

I'm an american and I love this country. If does not mean that I have to agree with or even like the politicians that run the United States of America and if I criticize them, I can still be considered an american.

I love my family more than life itself, but to think that I will not criticize them for things is acceptable, and it does not mean that I am no longer in the family.

I am a Cincinnati Bengals fan and will be for the rest of my life. I love the ugly orange and black stripes - and even though orange and black is not my favorite color, I am allowed to still love and be a FAN of the team.

As for UK, I can be a UK fan and still dislike the coach! I can call into question when the players are not playing well. I can disagree with with what direction of the university is going and still be a fan. I just don't get this stuff that people put into their heads to say that you can only be a fan if you have zero positive to say.

Can we criticize the UK players? ABSOLUTELY! They are MEN! Not high school underage children! These men have been given an opportunity that you and I neither one were given! They were GIVEN a $100,000 a year job, something that very few of the fans on the Wildcats were ever given. These men are privileged, who live in private housing, better housing than you and l live in. Sorry, I don't buy that these men, no matter their age, cannot be called to task when they do not perform at the level that is expected of them to perform.

Deathstar 80, I'm not saying that's what you meant by your comment, but if it is, then I completely disagree with you and will call you out on it. If I call you out on it, it does not mean that you and I still can't be friends who just disagree with each other and we can both be members and post on BGR!

You are so wise.
