Although I have been a member in good standing for fourteen years, I believe my run has come to an end. I realize the new format is not something under your control, so it is what it is. However, the forum has lost its flavor. 90% of the threads reflect whining, in-fighting, trolls, and disrespectful, new so-called fans. This site used to be a daily joy filled with unique insight, clever discourse, and what felt like a brotherhood of true Duck fans. Although I don't argue that the site remains filled with Duck fans, unfortunately, these Duck fans appear to prefer the kind of disrespectful discourse I can read on Facebook political pages, be the fan a red or a blue.
If I thought the site had the wherewithal to lead rather than perpetuate assholishness, then I would not consider ending my fourteen year run as a member of DuckSportsAuthority. Unfortunately, it feels like the time has come to offer my adieu.
To A.J., who has always taken the high road, offered the content I have always sought as a true Duck fan, and rarely, if at all, ever engaged in pettiness and venomous discourse, I thank you. To the rest who have soured this old man to the one site I have enjoyed each day since 2002, I hope you look within yourselves and stop being a bunch of whining Beavers.
