I fail to see what I am doing wrong. You are blatantly calling me out for voicing my opinion.

Seriously? You fail to see what you're doing wrong? Here's a summary of how the thread has gone:

YOU: "Just curious guys, who do you think is the worst owner in sports?

OTHERS: (taking the question seriously) "Well, Angelos is certainly a terrible owner, but there are also lots of other terrible owners, like Sterling, Loria..."

YOU: "LOL you guys are crazy. I can't believe you're defending Angelos."

OTHERS: "...Huh? Who's defending Angelos? We already said he's a terrible owner. We're also pointing out that there are other terrible owners who might be worse..."

YOU: "LOL these answers are ridiculous. If you don't think Angelos is the worst, you're crazy."

ME: "Um, why did you ask the question if you're going to ridicule anyone who doesn't agree with your answer?"

YOU: "Why are you defending him bro?" (your actual quote)

This is trolling at its very worst. You posted a thread pretending to ask an open-ended question, when in fact you were only going to accept one correct answer and ridicule those who didn't agree. If anyone even suggested a name that wasn't Angelos, you called them an Angelos defender. When I pointed out that your behavior in the thread didn't make any sense, you called me an Angelos defender, even though my post never mentioned Angelos or any other owner.

I'll say it again...you need to stop trolling and learn how to read and comprehend what other people are saying, or find somewhere else to post.

They lost the EPL title last season on goal differential, having tied with Manchester City on points. So, no, I wouldn't call finishing second bascially on a technicality "really screwing up".

I didn't mean the on the field product, I meant with the financials and such. The Dodgers didn't do that badly on the field under the McCourts. Of course the source I read (some time ago) was British and they were, I am sure, biased.

So you are allowed to say that he is a bad owner despite winning a SB, but I cannot say Pete is a bad owner despite 14 consecutive losing seasons? Oh, the hypocrisy!

Yeah, you are the only one here expressing the opinion that Angelos is a bad owner and you are being persecuted for that opinion. Tough crowd.

Who's stopping you? You have an entire thread dedicated to the idea that you have no idea who the worst owner in sports is, except that you know it's Angelos, and everyone agrees, but nobody will stop beating you up for your opinion that everyone agrees with, so the whole board sucks because they don't agree enough. Or something.

Huh? Who said you're not allowed to say Angelos is a bad owner? Hasn't pretty much everyone in this thread agreed with that fact?

As I mentioned in my prior post, please learn how to read and comprehend what people are saying.

Well Paul, you tried your best. No one can say that you didn't spell it out for him as thoroughly as you did.

So you are allowed to say that he is a bad owner despite winning a SB, but I cannot say Pete is a bad owner despite 14 consecutive losing seasons? Oh, the hypocrisy!
