Is this supposed to be some kind of brag or insult? I just don't get it for three main reasons:
1) If you get promoted then you are a good team, so what's the point in telling teams with much lower players that they are lucky you aren't around. That's like the FSU football team coming to my high school and saying, "You guys are lucky College teams don't play High School teams cause we'd beat the crap out of you."
2) You can't be lucky that you got promoted so you don't have to play a team that is inferior or building this season. If you didn't get promoted then who is lucky? Yes, the building team is farther along, but...wait for it...so is your team. It seems that the inferior or building teams are the lucky ones, not the ones who got promoted. See #1 for reference.
3) If it is intended as some kind of brag, then what's the goal? I can't see anything that could come out of making a completely empty threat (of sorts). I also won't believe that agents are sitting in front of their computers LOLing and grabbing their sides in real life when they type these things (but I could be wrong), or, on the flip side, taking those posts very seriously with furrowed brows and squinting eyes (again, I could be wrong).
Anyway, theses type of posts seem to be rampant in GLB and I was wondering if anyone could explain why people feel the need to post them, as they don't make any sense at all to me. Oh, and my title is wrong, 90% of GLB types, "Your lucky you'll be gone" or "Your lucky I got promoted". It's really not that hard, a possessive pronoun versus a contraction. Meh.
