We should just turn this thread into the official long running "Locker Room" board.

You know what? That’s a fair response. I didn’t give any warning; even though i had been thinking about it for awhile, I didn’t communicate that to the board. Even when we ban someone from posting, we usually give a warning - I didn’t do that in this instance.
I do appreciate the constructive feedback that’s been offered in this thread. I’ll take it under consideration.
Yeah the locker room was more risque than stalking high school kids because they can dribble well or run really fast in shorts. Learning about recruits here and then creeping on their twitters is really cool.
The locker room was mostly fine. Sure there were occasional times someone stepped over the line. But that happens everywhere on every board. We are all big boys and knew what we were going there for. Nether lefties or righties were exempt. And if you didn’t like it, no one forced you inside.
I will miss my pals who I disagreed with daily. @JGregor , @pittman71 , @pittguy81, @SoufOaklin4Life , @HOF Coach , @TempleBAPittMPA , just to name a few ...see you all around,
And I won’t be around panthelair as much. Fast 40 times from 16 year olds don’t excite me.

I understand people's desire to discuss politics....I like it too. But I go to pantherlair for pitt athletics...not the latest alt right conspiracy about the main stream media. If people want to talk politics exclusively, exchange emails and go to Facebook or 4chan or wherever...there were many threads that made me cringe because they were oozing with racism and various dog whistles. I am not going to miss it and I applaud peak for getting rid of it. It had a bad look and flavor
Not sure what was so hard to understand for some of you. The board was a cesspool with a lot of racialist overtones. As I said, there are plenty of other alt-right message boards out there. Having such a message board semi-affiliated with Pitt athletics is wrong. I am not sure any other Rivals site has a message board where over 90% of the threads relate to politics.

Agree, @JGregor. We’ve all taken our lumps in there. And lately you have more than anyone given your clinging to the fictitious collusion like a Jedi clings to the force. For you to say what you just said is a strong case to be made in support of the LR. Kudos.
How fascist of you! Given you’re the only one with that opinion who frequented the board, I’d say you’re in a very small minority. There were plenty of board lefties in there daily who spewed plenty of left wing stuff. And they seem to all be disappointed today.
And remember, if everything is racist, then nothing is racist. Think about that for a few moments.
Just curious what do you consider to be "alt-right". Seems to me your definition is anyone who disagrees with your point of view. And while there were a few people with clearly racist comments that was the exception rather than the rule. Heck you have that on this board with people who rip Tomlin.
It was mostly harmless fun and a place to talk politics without pissing off your family and friends. There you could piss off strangers. I assumed a counterpoint role so that there wasn't 7 guys agreeing with each other in every thread. It was fun being the WWE villain guy.
I think I need to say something....... So......No, maybe I will sing about it. Or maybe I will let this guy do it for me. The great Gordon Sumner please take it away.....
Adios, amigo! Vaya con Dios!
It aint over til the (politically correctness here now) horizontally challenged lady starts singing.
Theres a few people there at a different place getting the scope out.
If its doable, we'll post the link for anyone interested of any ideology to join us if they choose.
That helmet sucks!! Wait, am I allowed to say that here, or did I just turn this board into a cesspool?Yep.
After all we all have one thing in common .

Actually, I asked a question over there would you rather have a Pitt fan neighbor who was a Democrat or a Penn State fan neighbor who was a Republican. Everyone who answered went with the PSU Republican. The folks over there are Republican fanboys more than anything. There are some, like NCPitt, who I don't remember ever seeing him post on a Pitt sports board.
I have both.
Two Lehigh Profs across the street and a house full of Nitter Conservative Republicans on the other.
I'll take the Conservative Republican Nitters!

Im there pretty much everyday since 1/2017 and i recall no such post.
I think this is a bullshit scenario trying to make a point.
Like on Twitter when people say things like,
*my 9 year old asked me today why grown adults are wearing pink hats depicting female genitalia. I told him,son,i often wonder the same thing*
A staged prop or scenario.
There were maybe 7-8 "lefties" and they were outnumbered probably 5-1 or 10-1 which is a disproportionate ratio to Pitt fans in general. A few months ago, I counted the threads started by each group and like 14 of the top 15 were righty threads. I remember being surprised when someone put up a "who are you voting for" post and it was like Trump 51, Clinton 49. I expected it to be like 80/20 given the traffic but I theorize that righties are more "loyal" and "committed" to their cause. Its morning radio, Hannity on the way home, Fox News at night and Internet boards in between. Its a lifestyle. Dems, probably to a fault, have other things to occupy their time. Sometimes they show up and vote, sometimes not. But they arent as devoted
I do have a R. psu fan .
We'll be at the game together .
Politics never enter the conversation . Just football .
Just because the righties were more knowledgable and ballsy enough to start threads has ZERO to do with your fantasy of lefties being outnumbered 5-1 or 10-1.
You're really nipping at that hyperbole bottle today.
Funny how all of a sudden when the sub forum is now shut down and unsearchable you can *recall* all these little tidbits we cant verify
Heres only 7 lefties.

Now name me 35-70 righties please.

No way. I despise all of you white guilt, I am sorry for having balls, tranvestite enabling, dress my 3 year old son in a dress, American hating libs but even I would prefer a pitt Democrat neighbor over a psu conservative as a neighbor
Just a few nuggets for you:
•The locker room goes in cycles. Not sure what triggers it, but it wasn’t so long ago that the lefties far outnumbered the righties. Before it was taken down, I’d say the regular posters were about 15 cons to about 10 libs. Liberal participation right now is lower than it was in October 2016...for obvious reasons. Many went away. But they would have been back. The locker room is cyclical just like who holds power in DC is cyclical.
•just because there are conservatives over there, it doesn’t make them alt-right, whatever that means. It just makes them right of you. And there’s nothing wrong with that, unless you’re intolerant of those who don’t think like you.
• Based on your numbers, you’re saying there are as many as 80 cons over there. That’s warped.
• there are a few libs over there whose m.o. is to not start threads and just lurk and attempt to tear down conservatives. And there are many cons who enjoy starting threads. Using the rationale as to who starts threads to arrive at opinions is quite unscientific and unconventional. But people are used to that type of thing from you.
SMF is typical lib. Everyone that disagrees with him is wrong and needs to be silenced. He screams racism at first hint of a differing opinion. He gets offended at the drop of a hat.
Dude should be a professor at pitt for as open minded as he is.
and let’s not forget all the others you didn’t list, who do drivebys, hoping no one fact checks their claims, but then go away again when they are proven wrong.
I couldn't go much higher than 7 or I'd have to take my socks off.
And lets be real.
For the longest stretch until i went on my world jaunt and HOF Coach picked up the pace, i was easily singlehandedly out thread starting the lefties myself.
The number of posters had zero to do with it.
Then add in everyone else like you,bb80, and the like and you get the point.
One guy with an atom bomb can defeat millions of terrorists.
And we had the guys willing to drop the bombs lol
No cycle
The locker room has always been majority conservative -
Only difference is the reasonable and logical folks like joe, bandie, and even paco back in the day-
Have been replaced with right wing posters who post non stop.
Find a new hobby or a new place to argue politics .
Lots of anguish over a free message board

Really? Everyone? Did I? More lies and generalizations. You are just as guilty and deceiving as those you decry. You are almost a caricature of yourself. To be honest, I could care less on either accounts if they are good people.
Now he sits here as if he didn’t come over, say something to incite the guys on the right and back away as if he were never involved.
@SMF, if you think it is hard for me to understand I suggest you take some reading comprehension courses. I questioned the lack of reasoning for the decision not the decision itself. You must have interpreted my post the same way you digest what you hear on the news in that you only pay attention to what suits your agenda.
Actually liberals are close minded.
“Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views.”

Hey, I am "unprincipled" according to some righties because I don't agree with all things Trump and right. So I guess we need some room for middle of the road, unprincipled moderates, because at the end of the day, I think there are probably more of us than any others.
If we have it your way you won't be able to argue politics or you will be taken away and never seen again .
