For any of you that follow the "movement" here, you're aware of the surge in activity in the fanbase surrounding this stick carrier movement.
Pawlowski, the "Commissioner" of the movement, put out a podcast on the 26th basically ripping into McCoy. Mocking the sound of his voice, saying he's unmotivated, ETC. I think all of us through the years have been a little frustrated with the lack of production on the tail end of games for McCoy. But let's recognize that McCoy was THE only productive lineman on the D-Line for several years straight. Did I always like his attitude on the field? Not necessarily. Did I always like his attitude on the field? No, but the dude produced. He's been to 5 pro-bowls. I think if anyone's earned some slack, it's GMC.
So I posted my disagreement in the Facebook group. It caught quite a bit of steam, along with some people who obviously disagreed with me and sided with Justin (as people will do when they perceive someone as the popular figurehead of a movement)
Long story short, Justin chimes in about an hour later and basically says "You don't like my opinion, maybe you shouldn't listen to the Bucs UNCENSORED podcast". Is this a movement? Or is this the JP nuthugging contest? Who hugs JP's nuts the hardest wins! After some continued activity in disagreement with him, and some open challenging of his dismissive comments towards people who disagree with him, he shut down the thread. No ability to like the thread, no ability to comment on it. Shit, I'm not even sure if it's still visible within the group.
So really this is an open letter to all/any of you considering listening/following. If he doesn't like what you say, or it challenges him, he will shut you down. That's not a movement, that's more like a cult.
