Replies only allowed by those that ALABAMA FTBL mentions or follows.

They had to know they were going to get heat for this post, and they are probably contractually obligated to post it. Still, you never block replies. It's a really, really bad look.

Just let people go off and have an intern drinking Red Bull and hiding the really bad ones.

On that platform? Yes, it is. Locking a thread is inviting a ratio and it just makes people that were fine with a one off comment a little extra irritated. I realize. I realize the program has a contract with Activision and are taking a lot of heat right now, but this was a bad idea.

All the glory and none of the accountability.

Imagine that.

Are the would be Twitter commentators going to revolt and storm the Bama social media department or something? Are they going to voice their displeasure in an extreme manner on the next bama post that allows comments?


I am not trying to be an a-hole, I'm just wondering what you think will come of something like this. It's possible that I am dumb and ignorant of some kind of repercussion they could face.

It looks weak. Let people talk. Who cares?

This combined with DeBoer dodging questions last night is a soft look.

I would normally agree, but I've seen how our fans have acted like unhinged over-emotional pussies bc we're 5-2 & ranked #15.

I made the mistake of listening to Pawl today & every Bama fan sounded suicidal.

Good for recruiting. Future players want to see players benefiting from their merch.

If you are dumb and ignorant (which I doubt), I am even "dumber and ignoranter." I literally have no idea what the X post is even about, let alone what sort of negative commentary it might invite that would lead someone to choose to block comments. I mean, I am TOTALLY clueless about this whole thing.

Hopefully someone will explain it to me like I'm 5 years old. (Or maybe like I'm 95, which might be a more accurate explanation of why I'm clueless here.)

It's some promotional thing they did with a video game company. The comments are disabled apparently.

Now as to why OP would think it's a bad look for them to post about or why people would care when 95% of people in the CFB world don't know or care to know about this, I don't know
