Mike Grimala blocked me?

Anyone else blocked by Grimala on X? I saw an article on his and when I clicked to respond, saw that I couldn't, due to him blocking me. I'm guessing it's due to statements not related to UNLV sports, but that's just kind of odd to me. Anyone else getting blocked by him too?
I just checked. Our account isn’t blocked.

I have him in the UNLV fanboy list. He needs access to golf carts and the player kitchen, he will write what he has to in order to keep that access.

Most of the media covering UNLV has started blocking fans that respond to their posts in fashions they disagree with. Easier to block than argue. Ed blocked a ton of people years ago for no reason
 
That's just weird. I wouldn't say I'm a fanboy but more of a realist. I will say things like, Kruger never deserved the job, because based on facts, he didn't. But I would never bash the guy, as he seems like a good man.

In general though, the more comments and interaction they get, the better, right?

X was getting hit by a massive cyberattack. Maybe you just got caught up in that.

He also thinks it’s okay that men play in women’s sports so I would put him in the category of ultra sensitive. He was applauding the recent San Jos state situation in women’s volleyball. He’s a hack
If true, that alone is more than enough of a reason for a total boycott of him! Is it because he wants to self identify as a woman?

We know his pronouns and that he wears rainbow underpanties.

He thinks it’s ok for men to play in women’s sports? F him.
 
Don't know if this is true, but since being tipped off to it I've started paying attention and it's been true (so far): Grimala won't use the word Rebels in his write-ups. It's either UNLV or the Scarlet and Gray. He's probably one of those with the dumbass opinion that a rebel can only be someone from the antebellum South who supported slavery. Must be that liberal New England upbringing. ... As he taps his keyboard while rocking his Che Guevara T-shirt, beneath his wall hanging that says, "You must be the change you wish to see in the world." - Ghandi.
 
Ah, okay then, I could understand why he might block me.

I'm not down with men playing women's sports and if he followed me at one point, he probably noticed my comments about it.
Probably. It’s insane that any moral, irrational person would be on with that. You have a severe mental disease, imo, if you’re truly ok with it.

He’s very … um …. I don’t know how to put it. But I’m sure he has Dylan Mulvaney posters on his wall, Zima was his favorite drink in HS, if he dared to imbibe, and he’s probably never had a T-bone steak and loves him some mocha latte with a splash of soy whip cream.

You were an high level athlete - you wouldn’t share a drink with this fella.

He hates us
 
Grimala wrote DJ got $400k in nil for this year. Wow, money horribly spent on a guy not quick enough to break down a defense. Not athletic enough to always get a good shot. And is not even much of a shooter(41% this year). And also is not much of an assist guy.

They would have been better off getting some better players as while DJ is decent. He is not a super star at all.

We paid that much to keep Houston from getting him. We (CKK) panicked and that was the end result.

That's a little harsh.. He was 17/18 year old and led the team in scoring, assist and 3pt %, was a MWC 2nd team selection, Co-Freshman of the Year last season and absolutely deserved to get paid. This season with lesser talent and more expectations he came down but still led the team in scoring and assists. Its a problem with Kruger ball that he expects 1 player to be the lead scorer, like Bryce and EJ.. and that's absolutely not the right management for Dedan's skill.

I think it was a combo. Very good player, not as good as we thought, not strong enough to be primary, but Kevin made him primary. Poor management.

From a skill standpoint, he’s fine. He makes your team better.

From other aspects, not so much.

With NIL money on top of a free education, room and board, these are professional athletes. If they don't wont to be treated harshly, then do not get paid to play professional sports. The days of saying they are only kids is long gone now that they are being paid to play while students are not only paying their own way, but also hit with athletic fees to help subsidize professional sports. With few exceptions these are no longer student/athletes, the are professional athletes who jump from school to school based on who is willing to pay the most.

Right? Some of these 'kids' now make more money than many Doctors, Lawyers, Engineers, and most professionals in all fields. I don't like personal attacks on individuals, but if you're being paid to perform your job, and you're not doing it, some pushback and criticism may be warranted.

"............many Doctors, Lawyers, Engineers.........."

But how many Lawyers can slam dunk in the face of a 7'2" defender?

How many basketball players can block a bullet? It is only a game and produces nothing but entertainment, but in the cases of college athletes, we are paying them more in some cases than professional franchise athletes even while they are not good enough to even be on the bench at pro teams.

It's because there are no caps and no contracts. Complete wild west. Pro sports would be even worse if there were annual free agency for everyone and zero salary caps. In a few years every World Series would be the Yankees vs. the Dodgers. Every Superbowl the Cowboys against the Patriots. Etc.
