WILL THIS HEINOUS ACT BE LET TO STAND?

THIS INJUSTICE?

I AM SO MAD JUST THINKING ABOUT THAT PIECE OF PAPER.

everyone should just boycott Sporting KC and soccer as a whole. that's the takeaway IMO.

I want to see 'stagrams of SKC jerseys on fire here guys.

First of all, I blocked his account here. Secondly, I’m going to call the radio station and give them the entire business. Thirdly, I’m going to follow that call up with an email confirming our conversation from step 2.

Tbh I don't even know which station he or any other sports personality works for because sports radio is aids for the ears so I can't even threaten to boycott. Really a feeling of hopelessness on this one.

He owes Nathan Powers an apology.

honestly it was shocking to see the level of anger and hatred that these ku fans have towards k-state, would have hated to see the scene had we actually won

he looked like he was a level 7 on the booze, can't fault a guy for partyin

would it be possible to photoshop Nate's head on Melvin Weatherwax and Sneed's on Bill Self's?

I already switched over to 610 and told everyone I know to do the same thing.

Does anyone have an advertiser list for this clown? I wonder if they approve of nates actions in alienating a very successful population of the metro with plenty of disposable income?

My question is, will he be permanently banned from AFH? And could the ban be extended to Bramlage as well? If I remember correctly he attended the game at Bramlage this year. Thank goodness we won that game or I imagine he would have assaulted our players then as well.

Has illig commented yet? Does he approve of the conduct of his invited guests?

DQ12 · « **Reply #15 on:** February 26, 2019, 11:32:10 AM »

i think he should have to read the whole box score ON AIR

He went to the KU game in Manhattan but didn't wear a ku shirt.

Yeah Jake gave him all kinds of crap for it the next morning.

j rake · « **Reply #19 on:** February 26, 2019, 11:56:04 AM »

this is the dumbest non story ever. he's a radio gasbag acting like a radio gasbag while being a spectator at a rivalry game, cheering for the team he likes to beat the team he hates, having some fun at a player's expense. big deal. k-state fans are such wusses.

it should be noted that some folks who are calling out nate's lacking professionalism are the same ones who often acted unprofessionally in the press box/courtside while covering k-state events; openly cheering for k-state while trying to publicly mask their obvious allegiance and rooting interests. in other words, being fake versions of themselves while parading themselves as a gatekeeper of objectivity while they covered super serious...sporting events!

well, you're not wrong. but i don't think it was very direct. kinda indirect.

but no, the k-state beat is filled with fans and always has been. which i am fine with - sports is supposed to be fun and games, after all. but just admit it. when you work as a supposedly objective beat reporter for many years, and then you leave that job, and then you re-emerge publicly as...a fan...i think it undermines the work you've done in a way. it doesn't mean that you were dishonest, or that you intentionally wrote fluffy stories to support the team/program you like. but it could certainly influence your news judgment or the types of stories you pursued and how aggressively you pursued them; particularly the negative ones.

i kinda like how matt hall does it. he openly says he's a fan of the program and then covers the team with that bit of transparency on the table. i wish more reporters would do it - such as mike dearmond, who was a huge fan of mizzou; or howard richman, who has revealed himself to be a k-state fan.

anyway, you guys can have your thread back. also for the record, i actually like cole (even though he's a big ten hater and always has been) and i thought he did a really solid job of covering k-state for the mercury!
