OP,
At least you got that info out first. I mean, waiting to see what actually happened before writing a panic-stricken thread might have cost you some time, and you'd have had to settle for someone else posting a sensationalist thread about Davis' potential injury.

I didn't mention thread title; I mentioned thread, and in his thread he cited twitter as his prime example for concern, hence the sensationalism.Originally posted by funKYcat75:

Starting a thread about a beloved player and citing twitter with the implication that something remarkably bad has happened to Davis is, in my opinion, sensationalism.Originally posted by funKYcat75:
He told exactly what happened to a beloved player. I fail to see the problem. There is a thread telling the first half score of an IU game. That's a waste of space. Go pick on that guy.

You actually are wrong. First and foremost, if you don't know that Twitter is the place to get news before any media outlet gets it on the web, then you are missing the evolution of technology.
Secondly, multiple people on twitter that are sports analyst were saying that it looked like a serious injury.
The title wasn't sensational nor was the thread. Davis is a player that most basketball fans love and it just makes sense that a UK forum has a thread about potentially horrible news.
Don't get me wrong, I understand full well what you meant as there are tons of ignorant people out there that do stupid threads as you suggested. But this one wasn't one of them.

It should tell you something that you are the only one offended by the thread title and/or contents. But hey man, continue on fighting the good fight!Originally posted by Son_Of_Saul:

I'm of the persuasion that you withhold judgment on sports injuries, especially as they pertain to Kentucky players. Citing twitter as a fact check, regardless of your patronizing rebuttal, is the stuff of firing first before knowing the facts.
The fact that the OP hasn't changed his thread title now that it's clear Davis is okay really only reinforces everything I initially thought.
Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if he missed a couple of games. Hope I'm wrongOriginally posted by musrat59:
According to CBS Sports, he has a groin injury and is supposed to get a MRI on it today.
The fact that you keep harping on it despite the fact that AD is going for an MRI today reinforces what we all think of you. You are just trying to be the board police and/or want to try to prove yourself correct all the time. Just relax, dude.Originally posted by Son_Of_Saul:

Thanks for posting the info MWes.Originally posted by MWes11:
Hope MRI comes back negative. What AD has become as a player is truly remarkable. Keep up the good work big fella and keep making BBN proud to call you our own.

Have you ever had an opinion that didn't require consensus? I'm sure you have. That's why this country is beautiful - we can have opinion and not have to test the winds to see if it's worth offering.Originally posted by phantompain:
