I believe this thread has run it's course.
both sides of the argument have been voiced.
it's not about politics. it's about the Sun abusing TFC. On one hand they run contests and print posters celebrating TFC, while with the other they are bashing TFC supporters in drive by slander... since they can't put it in a full article anymore, they find some stupid way to put it in to "offside" or whatever bullshit they call it, whenever an incident in any sport happens
that's just not acceptable
And personally, I'd rather be elitist than accepting of mediocrity
How about a compromise?... lets post all articles here... positive ones we hotlink so that the paper makes money from us and negative ones we copy and paste.... no matter what paper and what author they are a product of
do our part to eliminate negativity....help make the TFC world all sunshine and fucking lolipops
I do not hear people rant about Wheeler as much as they do about Kelly. "Keeping the lid on soccer fanatics" called TFC supporters a firm. How is that not slagging us through the mud. The star has more readers, it was this paper that blew things up. But yet, no one calls for a ban of the star. This is hypocrisy.
People don't complain here because they share similar ideologies on this board and after a year you tend to forget or not even know what you are missing.
I'm just upset at the lack of understanding of what is going on here.
Be fair and show all sides of the story, not just the ones that suit "your needs"
Please read my post on copyright issues. We've been through this issue before.
Dude,
It was one person making a suggestion about the Sun... I can't stand Cathal Kelly as much as everyone else, and had you been reading the threads... we had a small list of RPBs cancelling their Toronto Star subscription...
What bias are you talking about? If you feel like making one up to just feel good go right ahead...

you really need to read a political thread in the off topic section, and you'll see how closely aligned our ideologies are
The bias is what this thread is about, one paper has been "banned", another one people are looking to have banned, yet others escape the same treatment?? People have cancelled their subscription and all, but where is the same policy about news sources being posted on here.. I just find that posting the star and not the post is unjustified.

no one is saying you can't post a NP article...
if it's an article, as far as I know you can go right ahead and post it, if it's not done already
I would, but they have a shit sport section anyway and rarely cover TFC
it just means it's not included in the official daily news thread
and for all that is worth... the Globe and Mail is the only paper right now that is good in my books...

A ridiculous statements.
No paper in Toronto has done more to cover TFC than the Star. THAT is why they have not been outright banned on here despite Catheter.
If it weren't for that coverage, they'd be in the same boat as the Post.
So you should be complaining to the Sun and the Post as to why their coverage sucks.
If you want to read their coverage...who is stopping you?
Why do I have to sit on the RPB leaders group to point out something that is quite obvious which people are tending to ignore, insult or ask others to leave over?
One person's suggestion last year took out the National Post did it not? Surely everyone did not post at the exact same time saying ban the post last year..
So please, don't be condescending, it is not a good quality.
stoked, stfu already
keep the politics out of football... this nonsense argument you're bringing up isn't reflecting good on yourself, nor the rest of us who are conservative minded supporters here... not posting the Sun is not the same at all, as a prof in a university not considering it or the national post a valid source...
What in the world are you talking about? The POST doesn't cover sports period... at least not as good as otehr newspapers.
and that person who made the suggestion was not an RPB member, it was one banner made by him and that was it.
Go catch some zzz' you have no idea what you are talking about and are only making a fool out of yourself.
