And others might argue that gutting a Pro team and moving it to AA is pretty cowardly in it's own right.
I don't think that you need to say "and others" as if the options are mutually exclusive. You can believe both are cowardly, can't you?
I personally don't believe that their goal was to move into a lower league and completely ravage all competition; I believe them when they say they just all wanted to play on the same team owned by their friend. I have a lot of friends on my own team. I don't know about you, but I wasn't able to select which level of competition the team that I purchased would play at.
If you want to revile them for not possessing a team higher than AA caliber and wanting to play with their friends, that's certainly your prerogative. I'll just maintain my own right to criticize YOUR behavior.Exactly. It's your right to do so.
Just as it's my right to call you a hypocrite.
I do find it a tad amusing that I'm just trying to add a little fun to all of the "GG (insert team here)!" and "it was a great game and you had just a little more to win" and you whine about it, how about someone have some balls and say something that might not go over with the "sportsmanship" factor? I mean is everyone here really all that sensitive that nobody can say anything in good fun? Or is everyone afraid of putting themselves out there because if they lose they will look like a fool? There's no rule that says you can't guarantee a victory or talk a little smack at the end of it and it has to be taken personally. Add a

or a

or a

or anything if you're that afraid.
Although I do stand by my opinion that what they did was bullshit, that's not the point of anything I said about them. I'll explain a little bit since you've got your panties in a bunch. Flipmode Squad used to be Shanghai United Fight Club that I - and some of the other GMs/Agents of GUFC - were apart of (hence our name). The old owner (those who have been around since the start remember he threw the conference title game to avoid promotion, I wasn't on the team then but knew all about it) went inactive, didn't renew, and gramz bought the team. It is our old team so of course - whether anybody wants to say it or not - we don't want to lose that game. Gramz might not want to come on here and admit it himself but he doesn't wanna lose it either.
But since some people want to take it to heart and flame me about it, I'll step back and stop.
/shit talking since it's apparently not allowed in SEA AA2.
