Remember, we're all on the same side

by Ed Valentine on Dec 2, 2008 7:46 AM EST in New York Giants News

There has been lots of tremendous debate -- both for and against keeping Plaxico Burress -- here at Big Blue View for the past few days. Passionate, heartfelt arguments on both sides.

That's the good stuff. That's what makes Big Blue View a great place for New York Giants fans -- well-reasoned, thoughtful, intelligent debate.

Unfortunately, I have also seen a few posts I have been less than thrilled with. I don't care which side of this issue you fall on, name-calling and personal attacks are not going to be tolerated.

I have seen posts calling other Giants' fans "cowards" because they disagreed with the commenters' opinion. I have seen posts simply stating that an opinion someone had rendered was "stupid."

That kind of stuff is not going to fly, gang.

Let's remember this. No matter what your opinion is in this instance, we are all here because we love the New York Giants. We all want the team to win, though we may differ on how they should get there. We all enjoy being part of this growing community.

We are all friends here. Ultimately, we are all on the same side -- the side of the Giants. So, act like it.

At this point

I’m sick of it, no matter which side of the Paxagun fence you are on. It’s a hot button issue, some of us will have to agree to disagree, let’s all join hands and sign “We Shall Overcome” or something.

All this Paxagun crap is taking away my 11-1 erectiveness.

I say we get back to talking football, and talking about the 11-1 First-Place-in-the-NFC East-on-the-verge-of-home-field-advantage-New-York-Giants.

Ah, the voice of reason.

I’m with you JR

well, I would hardly call myself the "voice of reason"

But after 4 days, enough is enough for me. I am tired of seeing guys blessed with talent that most of us can only dream of flush it down the toilet.

Couldn't agree more

I’m tired of it too. Let’s get on to football & let the Plax drama play out on its own. This isn’t going to be solved in the next few days.

Oh yeah and

as far as the real subject matter. It’s great to be able to debate our opinions on this sorry subject. I defended the guy until it seemed the team was being dragged under the bus. Now I’m just mad because we ALL were robbed at gunpoint. Instead of reading about the BEST TEAM IN FOOTBALL , the headlines front and sports pages have been taken by one dumb incident. We should be debating dumb calls by the referees, blinded fans of other teams , etc. I AT LEAST WANT THE SPORTS SECTION BACK!!!! There goes my erectiveness too…..
