Yeah, this ought to be interesting....

Yes I was there. Game was never in control by the refs. Several unsportsmanlike penalties on both sides. Both teams in my opinion were guilty of that. Refs could have taken a firm stand and made some ejections early. That might have saved the game. As far as how the game ended IMO. The momentum of the game had completely shifted to Graham's favor. Graham had stopped the Huskies and Scored on twice bringing the game to within 10 points. Then Graham got an INT on a long bomb. That's when the fight started. Here is Chan 3 video on the incident. judge for yourself. Keep in mind this was just the preverbal feather on the days back.

I would like to add another comment. There was someone on the Game thread on Football Friday night app. Claiming to be a Graham poster. He or she was posting very racist post all day. We ALL know I have been on it for years. This poster has NEVER been on that thread before. I believe he was nothing more than a TROLL trying to start trouble. This could have been a catalyst for a negative start to the game because it was very negative. No Graham poster in the 10 plus years I have been on that site has ever said a racist word. So I must believe it is a troll. IF I SAID IF a troll can cause this in a game. There should not be a chat option in these apps without accountability.

As far as the app, the chat feature has been disabled for now. I am sure that is why. It is all of our responsibility to report that sort of thing immediately. How it continued all day, if that is indeed the case, is a bit shocking and sad. I'm just outside looking in but this is disturbing to say the least. All it takes is a few if not just the one to absolutely ruin a great thing for the many. It seems to be the American way, now more than ever. Appreciate the post.

Graham threads have been plagued with negative trolls. In the past even I would take the bait to fight them. But I knew who they were. That one I had no clue. When I logged on yesterday. I instantly knew it was trouble. I did see the red flags on them but they were still up. I pushed the red flag too. Not sure how long that takes to get a post removed. During the game. I told my wife. "This is gonna get out of hand. If the refs don't do something".

DCTF's has been plagued by this bullshit for a long time. They are very slow to delete posts or ban posters who post racist and homophobic garbage. I am sure Dave Campbell would be absolutely horrified to have his name associated with this situation if he were alive, but the people who are currently managing his enterprise have unfortunately let this problem fester.

I 100% agree. If they cannot competently moderate the app, Then they shouldn't even use the chat option. As I remember the red flag was up on those posts the entire day and through out the game. Yet the post remained.

I must also say, it is terrible that Graham is getting a negative light shown upon it. When anybody literally anybody, anywhere could have been responsible for that post. Now I know the fellowship on this site knows that, but Joe and Jan Q. Public don't. This bothers me.

The problem with the game chats was an issue before we bought the app, let's be clear, this isn't a new issue. When we purchased the app, I was 100% for removing the game chats and had stated so to my bosses in meetings and had stated so on forums in the past. And posts were slow to be removed back then, because the volume is so high on those chats.

There was an outcry against doing that because the vast majority of people use it for the right reason, so my bosses and the tech developers thought the game chats could remain and with some tech solutions and monitoring of the app they could control the bad actors. Well, I went on vacation last week so we were a man down and the tech solutions didnt work, the post was deleted within a couple of hours but it was screenshotted and the damage was done.

Literally on Saturday from an airport in Jamaica myself and Greg Tepper finally convinced the folks above us to get rid of the game chats for the time being until we could determine if better solutions can be had to retain the game chats. There's no silver bullet in fixing society's issues and there will still be idiots who post terrible things, the hope is we can put guardrails in place w/technology, enhanced registation options, extra manpower monitoring the chats etc. that we can limit it as much as possible.

The week before this game the Hirschi-Decatur game there were a few racist posts as well, on that thread. I redflaged them. Stinkbait a long time Hirschi poster redflaged them. Yall never took them down. PM him he will yell you all about it.

Now Graham has a HUGE racist tag on us. It is very possible that a Graham resident or fan had NOTHING to do with it. We redflaged the crap out of it on friday. Did the week before for the Decatur game. Graham's good name is at least for now in the gutter. That isn't right. Letting racist comments go without removal to possible cause a fight amongst teenagers isn't right.

Changing the environment of the of sporting events in Whichita Falls in the future towards the Negative. Is now a 100% fact. Graham may have had nothing to do with this.

Look haters are gonna hate we can't stop that. But when we need you guys to DO YOUR JOB. PLEASE DO IT! A bunch I mean a bunch of posters hit that redflag with in minutes of it going up. COULD AND WOULD have stopped all this.
