Is it wrong to root for the Twins to lose?

[Mike Sixel]

Here is how I do it.....I root for them to lose, in general, but during a specific game, I find myself rooting for them to win if they have a chance. It hurts my poor little, old, brain, frankly....

If rooting for a win is wrong, I don't wanna be right.

[Mike Sixel]

no right or wrong.....this isn't either morals or ethics...

Not only was this completely unnecessary, it's the kind of vitriol that TD is trying to eliminate from the forum's atmosphere.

 

Unnecessary? Probably in somes eyes. But a queston was asked and I answered it with my thought. There's no way I could root for the Twins to lose, especially for the order of a draft pick. It's a lost season, as was last, and the one before that, and as next season is. But come spring I'll still be rooting for the Twins no matter how lousy a team we have. Now if next year a third of the way into the season we're dead last and Gardy is still manager I just might be swayed.

Had you answered it this way, snepp would not have issued his warning. It's not acceptable to demean others, and the TD Comments Policy makes clear that respect for others is a top priority.

Yes.

 

But its never wrong to root for the White Sox to lose.

[Halsey Hall]

Demeaning others was not my intent.
