It\u2019s pretty widely known knowledge when it comes to the internet,\u00a0don\u2019t read the comments<\/strong>.\u00a0 And such sagely wisdom is not at all incorrect, since comment sections all across the world wide web are full of mostly nothing but putrid, useless and contrarian garbage, loosely under the guise of words.<\/span><\/p>\n

But sometimes, I can\u2019t help it, because I\u2019m also of the type that enjoys watching good train wrecks every now and then.\u00a0 Come on, I watch TLC more than any other channel out of 450 available channels, I apparently have an affinity for watching chaos unfold.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here in Atlanta, there was a little bit of news about how retired Atlanta Braves legend, Chipper Jones has decided to move back to Atlanta, after enjoying the first few years of his retirement down in Texas, presumably with his dad, reducing the wildlife population.\u00a0 Additionally, he has taken a position with the Braves as some sort of non-player personnel, likely the start of his gradual transition into some sort of coaching position, preferably a hitting one, as he is undoubtedly one of the finest hitters in history.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And seeing as how the Braves more or less have no real superstars to market with, they wasted no time in utilizing Chipper Jones to spearhead some of their paltry promotions going into the likely already-a-wash 2016 season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Associating \u201cChipper Jones\u201d with \u201cValentine\u2019s Day\u201d would be like trying to associate a garden rake to the Indian Ocean, but whatever, the Braves decided to\u00a0shoehorn together a promotion for a Valentine\u2019s Day special<\/a>, in selling tickets that would probably be difficult to give away.<\/span><\/p>\n

After rolling my eyes at such a lame idea and effort, my eyes noticed the bottom of the screen the words \u201cView Comments\u201d and a number that wasn\u2019t actually zero, which is something of an anomaly on the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, unless it\u2019s on a story pertaining to crime, in which the comments section is then flooded with black profiling, racist remarks, and the people that bite the bait and feed the trolls.<\/span><\/p>\n

But in regards to a story about Chipper Jones?\u00a0 I mean, I know a ton about the guy as he was one of my favorite players, including the sensitive personal things about his past that aren\u2019t the most endearing things, but I was curious to see what AJC commenters could possibly say about a Chipper Jones-Valentines promotion\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

And to no surprise, what few comments are there, are full of vitriol, sarcasm, and loathing for Chipper Jones and the Atlanta Braves.\u00a0 Brilliance.\u00a0 In just the five comments that I was privy to, the commenters were quick to point out Chipper\u2019s adulterous indiscretions, with a Hooters waitress, predictions to the Braves\u2019 2016 record, the fact that they have no stars, and the requisite \u201cwhy not Dale Murphy\u201d remark.\u00a0 Perfect.<\/span><\/p>\n

This, amuses me greatly.\u00a0 Not bad for internet commenters.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
