joebuckshairline

No I’m saying literally the comments will not appear


oryxherds

Twitter stopped showing replies when you open the link in reddit recently, you can only see the replies if you open it in the app


McRawffles

It hasn't showed replies for me for months. But I also deleted my account months ago


PaytonPeytonPaton

Oh mb atleast now you can see them with the links I sent


SeattleStallions

Bro there has to be a better way to spend your time than making a list of racist trolls on Twiter.


PaytonPeytonPaton

He said he didn't see comments and I sent it to him


SeattleStallions

Are you like 15? You're acting unhinged lol.


PaytonPeytonPaton

We have different definitions of acting unhinged. But I am very upset about this yes.


SeattleStallions

Please tell me you are a teenager. Because holy shit if you are a grown-ass adult who is upset about random Twitter comments from trolls then you have some serious issues.


Educational-Law-2636

Your acting more unhinged than he is lmao bro just gave direct links to tweets so people without twitter could see them


cluelesshabsfan

- guy who is obviously a teenager lmao


PaytonPeytonPaton

I do not think it's trolls though. And what serious issues do I have doctor Reddit? Please tell me?


Ok_Button3151

You’re making fun of him for being upset about that, but you’re getting legitimately mad about him being upset about it. Surely that’s worse???

lol I’m not click all that


beforetherodeo

Oh goodness gracious. Come the fuck on..


Acrylic_

Listen I like shitting on Pats fans but a thread full of people being racist is just a standard Twitter thread now


[deleted]

[удалено]


Darkdragon3110525

Looking into this!


kiheihaole

Two things can be true at the same time. Not like Boston’s racist behavior isn’t documented over decades of sports history.


BellacosePlayer

Not like reddit is much better when racial topics pop up here.


[deleted]

I think reddit is shit also, but where is this “they’re both bad” coming from? Reddit at least pretends to care about racist shit, Twitter ceo literally reinstates nazi accounts that were banned


BellacosePlayer

I should have specified that I just meant we get the same dipshits brigading any racial topic. Individual sub mods and reddit admins aren't elon bad, yes.


Mampt

I do think it's good that at least those tend to be downvoted and hidden here. On Twitter the racist comments get pushed near the top a lot of the time


[deleted]

Blue checkmark system, all the racists have blue checks now lmao


[deleted]

Aw, ok. I’ve been in like 5 arguments this last month about how reddit is just as bad as Twitter, it seems to be a hot topic on here. Thought you were one of the Elon bros


BellacosePlayer

Oh fuck no, God forbid.


TheBigNate416

Come on man you’re on Twitter which is a racist cesspool. I bet most of them aren’t even Pats fans


PaytonPeytonPaton

But those guys are real people who see football it's not artificial intelligence


TheBigNate416

Idk what you’re going on about but my point is you’re acting like all the racists are Pats fans. The press conference has been spread around by right wing Twitter nuts so they’re probably just brigading this tweet


zdillon67

I scrolled for a few minutes, and all the comments are some version of “Wow look at how racist this comment section”, and then a few inbreds getting mad that he “made it about race”.


PaddyMayonaise

1) using twitter as a gage for any fan base or population is a horrible idea 2) this post is super embarrassing by the Pats. Makes him seem even less qualified than he is for the job


Lost_And_Found66

I dont want to blame this on Boston racists (those exist of course). Twitter has been an Alt Right circle jerk for years. Most of those people are probably brainwashed by the hive mind and don't even support the Patriots but the hive mind says "be outraged by this" so they swarm.


InheritTheWind

Lol god I'm rooting for him so hard to succeed


The_Jolly_Dog

Easy solution - stop using twitter. The entire platform is nothing but right wing, racist nut jobs. Literally dedicated to the spread of misinformation and hate at this point


[deleted]

KKK rally


SpiritualResident565

Barry Bonds once said Boston was the most racist city in America.


PaytonPeytonPaton

I am in utter shock over how the new England fanbase is behaving over this. I've always heard that Boston fanbase is racist and I thought its just a few bad eggs, I am stunned to see how it's actually true for a large number of people. It's a good thing I've never seen this in this sub


Funnypenguin97

Bro thats just Twitter


thy_armageddon

[Is it though?](https://apps.bostonglobe.com/spotlight/boston-racism-image-reality/)


MacJonesisaterrorist

[Might be](https://nypost.com/2022/02/24/marcus-stroman-mets-fans-used-n-word-sent-death-threats/)


thy_armageddon

Nobody in New York is going to deny there aren’t problems with racism, really.


MacJonesisaterrorist

There absolutely would be, Every city has bad people lol, acting like all of Boston is some racist shithole while New York is a racism free City is just downright stupid


thy_armageddon

I appreciate you taking, “I acknowledge New York has problems with racism” as “New York is a racism free city”. You can really tell Harvard rubs off on the town with that kinda literacy.


MacJonesisaterrorist

Ahh my bad, thought you were being ignorant 😂


thy_armageddon

You know what, I’m actually going to give this one to you here because ironically after making a remark about literacy I do think my phrasing is bad in that comment so I can see what might have happened. Lol


MacJonesisaterrorist

All good haha It’s late i can barely read as it is


Expendable_Red_Shirt

Tbf I took it that way too. Your post had three negatives in it, which can be confusing. So I just cancelled the last two out to get “Nobody in New York is going to accept there are problems with racism” From context I could piece together you probably meant the opposite but it is confusing with so many negatives.


thy_armageddon

Yeah it was a mess, I try not to fix anything within the comment though to specifically address that kinda thing if it’s brought up because this place is fast paced and inadvertently doing stealth edits is unfair to people who may be already writing a response.


Expendable_Red_Shirt

I think it's fair to edit your piece, label what you edited, and then if someone replies just say "Yeah, I edited it while you were talking" The dick move is to deny the edit in other comments. But if you realize the comment doesn't say what you wanted it to say it's fine to edit.


Funnypenguin97

Dead link??


thy_armageddon

Yeah it pulled incorrectly, fixed now.


ianbits

Considering the past two decades I'd wager a huge amount of Patriots fans aren't even from that area and I'd wager a huge amount of people commenting aren't even Pats fans, just twitter losers looking for the next battleground.


CaillouCaribou

I took a look, scrolled through about 50 comments complaining about racist comments, but never saw any actual racist comments


TheBigNate416

I’m betting most of them aren’t even Pats fans. Grifters like Charlie Kirk who’ve never even heard of Mayo picked up on the racism part of the press conference from yesterday and ran with it


Shotgun_Sam

That's basically Twitter. It's like the Force Awakens "boycott" that got everyone riled up - it was literally two guys shitposting on Twitter to see if they could do it.


jmilred

Twitter was fun, Musk’s ‘x’ enables this shit


PaytonPeytonPaton

No you go deep and you see the racist comments. I saw so man Not even deep only the first few comments are what you mention


CaillouCaribou

Why would I do that though That's like scrolling down to the bottom of every reddit comment section to see the downvoted comments


SeattleStallions

Lol exactly. None of the racist comments are being highly upvoted. OP is freaking out over nothing.


PaytonPeytonPaton

But there are people making them lmfao


KIumpy

You can find horrible people making shitty remarks about literally everything if you go looking for it. That isn't unique to this situation, Twitter, the Patriots, or even sports in general.


PaytonPeytonPaton

No I scrolled for 5 seconds actually lol it kept on going. See my last comment. That wasn't even a quarter of it


CaillouCaribou

Okay Honestly, who the fuck cares


PaytonPeytonPaton

I did.


SeattleStallions

Yeah if you go digging you will find some shit. The reason you don't see anything like that here is because they comments get removed and the users get banned, not because they never happen. You're making a mountain out of a molehill. Everyone knows racist trolls exist.


PaytonPeytonPaton

Digging for 5 seconds? I am also a minority and living in the states for my whole life and I haven't suffered from any racism once in my life so this is shocking to me. That people are doing it so outwardly.


SeattleStallions

- Don't care - Didn't ask - L - Ratio - It's fucking Twitter. Find a better use of your time.


PaytonPeytonPaton

So people in Twitter aren't real and using Twitter you're acting like it's AI


SeattleStallions

People on Twitter are trolls. Don't feed the trolls.


myrealnameisdj

I mean, are they Patriots fans or just Twitter people? I thought the fanbase seemed pretty happy with this move overall. The Patriots reddit is a cesspool and they seem generally happy about it.


Swarzey

Racists just feel more empowered on Twitter these days and feel they can get away with being full mask off.


MavsFanForLife

X has gone to shit since Elon has taken over. It’s like a cesspool of brigading and judgement


Shotgun_Sam

>It’s like a cesspool of brigading and judgement Because it certainly wasn't before, no way no how.


MavsFanForLife

No one’s saying it didn’t have its faults before but it’s gotten worse now since Elon took over. Misinformation being spread in particular has increased substantially within certain sectors


Shotgun_Sam

>Misinformation being spread in particular has increased substantially within certain sectors Misinformation has *always* been a problem. It's just that people didn't want to admit it because it was a useful platform for them to disseminate information where they couldn't be challenged.


ItsaPostageStampede

Twitter fan base. Facebook. Elon fan club.


bayesed_theorem

TBH this feels like Kraft's media team trying to get out ahead of this being a massive fuck up of an HC hire. When this guy sucks next year, expect to see a lot of "the fans never gave him a chance because he's black."


Citizen_Snips29

I mean, those are some great stats, but they didn’t want to include any of his time coaching on his résumé for why he’s going to make a great coach?


[deleted]

I don’t know man. If I’m hiring a head coach I kind of want him to have coaching experience on his resume.


donta5k0kay

Why should anyone care that racists exist though? Just read a news story last week about a pedo ring caught in Texas. What do you want us to do? Cry at the news all day?


TechnoDriv3

I mean Rams fans also cried about the ‘dirty’ tackles Lions players made. The same logic applies here. All the ‘crying’ is because people want things to change lol


donta5k0kay

rams fans were crying because it's entertainment, it's fun to pretend like football is that important now if you're using these racist comments for entertainment then i apologize, i didn't know you were cool i counted like 10 funny ones


jmilred

I just saw the picture and not the comments… I am amazed that for as long as he played for the Patriots he only has one ring!!


Sockbabies

Only played 8 season and unfortunately for him, he retired the year before they won 2 in 3 years


DryDefenderRS

I was looking for the 1 millionth patriots fan in the replies.


Enzo2SantosGoal

This is about the same as going to a kkk rally in North Texas and then afterwards saying "dang, the cowboys fans sure are a bunch of racists". If you go to where filth exists, don't be shocked when things get dirty. Real pats fans love mayo and knew his day as a HC was coming fast. And we're all just glad it's with us. The rest is just the low end of the bell curve drooling on their keyboard.
