Holy crap, man.

And I was right freaking there...saying the nickname was stupid. Just as I have every nickname meant to be an insult that has ever been used against a Mississippi State athlete. Pretending everyone was ok with 'Stone Hands' is wrong.

And I agree with your overall point - these nicknames are awful and our athletes should all be defended against them. Glad we agree on that. Now stop using them and defending those who do.
Joe also probably around dropped 10 passes his senior year. It was probably never said outside of a game thread. I will say I never understood Big Feces also. That is a lot worse than foambat and shouldn't be used. Any derogatory name toward someone isn't right and shows more about the person saying it than it does that individual. Making fun of someone who isn't excelling at D1 sports is moronic since pretty much everyone on this board wouldn't even make the practice squad at MSU.
Everyone says or types some dumb shit occasionally, hopefully you figure it out and correct yourself.
