josh Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Wait, you're both wrong! They listen to podcasts like this because of access. It's the same reason people get follows on Twitter. It's a chance that that celebrity might listen to you directly, or you can hear directly what that celebrity has to say. now, it's one thing to be interested in what that celebrity has to say, and it's another thing to base your own thought process around what that celebrity has to say. but maybe he'll have sex with me... Anyway, I'm probably not listening to this, regardless of his political opinion, or opinion on anything else.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Heaven Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 In other earth shattering news, Tony DeAngelo deactivated his Twitter account. Probably couldn?t handle soon to be President-Elect Biden. Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 That could be part of it, and/or the Rangers asked him to shut it down. It's not a great look either way. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keirik Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Well I disagree. I can only talk from my perspective as I represent just me and not any political party. I’m saying it’s nuts that we will put up tweets of “DeActivate” for this guy, but applaud it when other people say something we agree with. I don’t agree with a ton of what Tony says but so what? I thought we wanted personality in our athletes? So he had to take down his Twitter because he ruffles some feathers with some fans that can’t accept opposing viewpoints? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s true that he was asked to take it down as in “handled internally” then he was asked to. It’s his choice to respond to people or not. Avery made an entire side career out of it.

Morphinity 2.0 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I'm not sure a Tweet of: "What happened to "COVID-19" the last 48 hours?" the day after the US Presidential Election is an "opposing view point" so much as it's a dumb, cheeky statement, which he appropriately caught heat for leading to him deleting his Twitter for a day.

Characterizing literally challenging fans to fist fight you outside of the Garden as "personality" is a reach and a half. He's a troll who likes to dish it out but can't take it, just like his hero. That's not "personality" — it's projection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sure as an organization didn’t mind taking him back from Dallas after that. I, just saying there is a bit of hypocrisy here in my opinion. I think ADA is an idiot. But so what? I still think it’s semantics. He tweets something outrageous and some fans get triggered and respond. Then ADA is just being himself. He’s a meat head from NJ. He just happens to also posses elite level of hockey skills. But sure, let’s neuter him because it’s not what we agree with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a professional representative of the Rangers and literally invited a fan on a public forum to fist fight him outside the Garden. Unacceptable on every level. If he were an average employee, he'd have been fired. He is a personality (that I think is vile). Everything he says and does cannot be characterized as simply an extension of that. Specifically inviting a fan to fist fight him. And again, when your primary target is your own team's fans, there's a fundamental problem at hand. He's a PR nightmare.

Well as we all know athletes have a different standard so that “if he were an average employee...” because it’s irrelevant. Towards them end of his career wasnt Avery was arrested during the offseason and still played some games the following year “representing” the Rangers? I’m not buying that “primary target” of ADAs Twitter is the Rangers fan base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphinity 2.0 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I keep saying Avery mentioned. He wasn't an asshole to fans like Tony. Avery was loved by the fans, so much he sat in the blue seats with fans one time when he was injured. Tony goes out of his way to troll his own fanbase. I don't really see the comparison at all.
