OK, Twitter-Head, You Can Please SHUT THE FUCK UP!!

Two stories from the last couple of days which indicate to me that Twitter (and the Internet at large) are turning into a total loss.

Story #1 starts on Sunday with an apparently-grimacing Ashley Judd (fan of Kentucky) getting kissed by Dick Vitale.  (A later picture showed Judd returning the favor, so even I had to retract a Twitter jab at Vitale...)

Judd, later, after Kentucky went to 34-0 by beating Arkansas, accused the Razorbacks of playing dirty.

That was nothing compared to the dirty she got in return from your friend and mine, Violent Twitter Troll...

This was one example Ashley said:

I am sorry to retweet but this is a typical example. “@Leeroy_MAX: .@AshleyJudd Go suck on Cal’s two inch dick ye Bitch whore.”

She's pressing charges.  She's had fucking enough, and I can't blame her.

The day and age has finally come that the only way to shut up Violent Twitter Troll is to arrest or kill Violent Twitter Troll.

Hey, I get it.  I tell people I'm going to kick their ass if I ever see them face to face all the time.

The problem is, they've done something to DESERVE that.

Ashley Judd is a beautiful woman.  Quite sexy, at least in my opinion.

Sadly, that makes her a target for idiots.  And, then, same idiots can claim she deserves it because she wears nothing, cheers for Kentucky, has a pair of combat boots, or eats Cheerios for breakfast.*

(* = There is no claim to the first, third or fourth.)

But it's what we've allowed the public to have in sports on Twitter, and it's past time it became actionable.

The second Twitter story comes on the heels of the unexpected retirement of Chris Borland, with even the title on Yardbarker indicating he's a pussy for not dying on the field.

On top of that, it's becoming clear that the NFL is beginning to close ranks again -- with Adam Schefter, Mike Florio, and an "NFL medical consultant" (har har, try a team QUACK) defending football:

Chris Borland was scheduled to make $530K this year, plus $10K workout bonus. Not many jobs pay 24-year-olds $540K for 6 months of work.

Americans routinely assume far greater physical risks for far less money and fame than the risk/reward of playing in the NFL.

“There are more injuries to kids from falling off bikes, scooters, falling in playgrounds than there are in youth football,” [Dr. Joseph] Maroon [an NFL medical consultant] explained, as transcribed by Eric Edholm of Shutdown Corner. “It’s never been safer. Can we improve? Yes, we have to do better all the time to make it safer, but I think if a kid is physically able to do it and wants to do it, our job is to continue to make it safer. But it’s much more dangerous riding a bike or a skateboard than playing youth football.”

Welcome to your biggest story of the 2015 off-season.

Oh, and after a military veteran called out Mike Florio at Pro Football Talk, Florio did the one thing you should not do -- DOUBLED DOWN...
