Time to stop lecturing the fans who pack Neyland after a decade of hot garbage and an opening loss vs GA State. We deserve a medal
Don’t know where nega vol came from for me. I am an alum, vol for life, good and bad and didnt call for firing Pruitt until he was actually gone, not my call. I personally think Fulmer is too revered by some and his flaws went unmentioned. We have had so many incompetent presidents or chancellors in the last decade plus that what we have now is shocking in their excellence. About time.What's the actual question?
Not sure what any of this has to do with free speech. AD White had a good presser but the fan social media comment was unnecessary. At the very least it was an ineffective method to motivate people to be positive. Did he actually think that comment would do the trick? Go to work and give fans something to be positive about. UT athletic department hasn’t earned the right to demand anything of our fans who have been repeatedly kicked in the nuts for going on 15 years nowThey can dish it out in volume but don't like it when any comes back across the net. It is a justification for them when things they don't like happen over and over but their their repetitive use of over the top negative rhetoric should be covered by free speech. For sure this post features this mindset.

His comment did literally nothing but kick the hornets nest. It was a “zero value add” as you put itHe did not ask ANYBODY to be positive, he asked EVERYBODY to keep any vitriolic negative communications private and out of social media. There is ZERO value add to the program for not cooperating with his request. ZERO. Impossible to measure the real damage,potential but it is not ZERO. Why in the world do we want someone representing themselves as a Vol fan to insult a coach in a public forum simply because his name has come out as a potential candidate for our job.. Who does that help? It can only help rekindle the reputation our entire fanbase had to deal with as Trailer Trash due to the efforts of a limited number of fans acting irrationally. The real problem we have is that it does not matter who he ultimately selects, some number of those with this kind of history will colorfully share the incompetence of our new AD and odds are some clickbait artists will play it up. hopefully Rece Davis is too busy now days. Once again zero value add. I WILL GIVE MY ALL TO FURTHER MY AGENDA AND SHARE MY BRILLIANCE TODAY. Sit back and watch.

VolNation was here before the phrase “social media” was popularized. Therefore, we’re grandfathered in as a separate entity. There’s an ongoing debate as to whether or not forums are social media anyway.
So Negavols unite!
Well here is the Wiki definition
Social media are interactive digitally-mediated technologies that facilitate the creation or sharing/exchange of information, ideas, career interests, and other forms of expression via virtual communities and networks.
Pretty clear to me that VN is under that umbrella. Not surprising that those on the edge continue to try and limit their liabilities. Not a new scheme at all. Started with Adam and that apple thing.
