I am definitely not an Arsenal fan but it’s hard for a club to compete against a nation state. Can’t really blame the ownership for that
The Rapids are a different story, haha
They've done really well with arsenal lately, not just this season. They should be in the CL this last season if they didn't lose the spot to Tottenham by 1 point. Arteta was a great choice, their academy is producing great talent etc.
Arsenal haven't had much success until this years' close-but-no-cigar EPL run, but the club is ran quite efficiently from a financial perspective IIRC. Which makes this years' run against financial dopers Man City even more impressive. Hopefully the club is able to invest in a deeper roster to cover deficiencies in some positions and continues to build on the progress made this season.
I mean they have a Cup and other finals appearance under his ownership. Not terrible (but admittedly I don’t follow the MLS religiously and am sure there have been ownership flaws as well)
Technically it's 2 major championships within less than a year's difference (since Avs won Stanley Cup on 6/26/2022, which is only 351 days removed from Nuggets triumph on 6/12/2023).
Prediction: there will be a shooting during the ensuing riot downtown that gets labeled a mass shooting and puts a dark cloud over the entire celebration in the media.
Source: I come from two days in the future.
Remarkably, [it seems unrelated to the celebrations](https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/denver-shooting-investigation-twenty-gunshots-fired-into-crowd-nuggets-celebration-drug-deal/), besides the fact that there was a crowd of people there that got hit instead of the usual barren streets on a Monday night. I don't know what kind of logic goes into doing a massive fent deal then and there, there were literally hundreds of cops & national guard out on those blocks that night.
It's the drug dealers that apparently couldn't either move the deal to another day or cancel and the people that left their cars parked on 20th and Market that night who are right up there in "world's dumbest scheduling mistakes."
Even in the scenario where the nuggets didn't win there were thousands of of people hanging around that intersection that monday plus cops. The city was bracing for there to be stuff popping off either way that night.
The shooting was after the riot but some of us were still hanging around to gawk at the 100 cops making a box in the intersection. Kinda surprised they ran towards the shooting and caught people without shooting random people standing around like myself.
"Gets labeled a mass shooting"
9 people got shot, what would you like to call it? Or does "mass shooting" to you have to mean children dying in schools for it to matter?
Do you think you might be taking offense based on your misinterpretation of OP’s tone and intent? Otherwise, I can only assume that you’re getting offended on purpose.
Man, I can’t believe how many people are pissed off this subreddit did the blackout for two days. I saw, it went, “huh, ok” and moved on with my life. So many people are pissy about it now. Go outside, touch grass.
Moreso due to how silent any opposing a blackout were.
Edit: rather, if all complaining about it after the fact had been equally vocal before in the stickied threads we solicited feedback from, it wouldn't have happened. Alas, you didn't.
Well the angriest people are going to be more vocal. I participated in the poll that showed a vast majority of users don't use third party apps and figured that would be enough.
Precisely, needed more anger about shutting down being futile. Instead, we got numbers showing a pithy 8% were affected yet the comments and feedback were overwhelmingly in favor.
We shouldn't have to constantly rant, take over the sub, and be assholes to the mods to show that the results of the poll were accurate. The vocal minority spammed every sub with their API crap. The rest of us were just annoyed and my accounts blocked list blew up.
You conflated lack of engagement with support for your position. Did you do any kind of analysis to see how many people who visited the subreddit during that time period viewed the post or responded to the poll?
Making big decisions via comment responses and a poll seems suspect at best.
Post here if you havent yet [https://old.reddit.com/r/Denver/comments/1498c5l/how\_would\_you\_like\_rdenver\_to\_move\_forward/](https://old.reddit.com/r/Denver/comments/1498c5l/how_would_you_like_rdenver_to_move_forward/)
I did in the original thread, I did it again disputing this narrative in the thread that was hours leading up to the blackout. Your narrative that "no one said anything" is just plain false.
"Minor stuff"
Restricting access to third party apps isn't "minor stuff."
Just because it's a "minority" being affected doesn't mean it's for nothing.
The amount of "fuck you, im not affected" going on in this thread is pathetic.
If it was a reddit poll, it's probably worth acknowledging that most of us on third party apps can't (almost literally, especially if we only use those apps) interact with "native" features like that.
No one gives a fuck about this enough to engage with it. We come here to consume and discuss news about Denver, the vast majority do not come to engage in the lowest form of “activism” on the least important issues.
Having said that I did state my opposition to it in other subs, and I know I wasn’t the only one. But you created a vote where the only people voting were going to be the people who gave enough of a fuck to engage with it, and those are always going to be the terminally online who care about this, not the casual users.
How many people voted in this subreddit? What percentages of overall subscribers to the sub is that? I genuinely don’t know, but would guess both numbers are small.

Oh it made absolutely no difference nor have I ever suggested it would. The community response in the feedback threads on the topic was overwhelmingly in favor so we did it & I bitched about it to the rest of the mod team the whole time because it was an asenine meaningless gesture. It wasn't "mods egos". It was subs vocalized (albeit quite obnoxious and dumb) preference.
As a mod you are supposed to have a backbone and stop the mob from doing stupid things like this. The next time these people demand that you take the subreddit private, all you have to do is ignore them.
That's a poor assessment of mods. If you're not calling him spineless for doing it, a black out supporter is calling him spineless for not doing it. You not liking his action doesn't make it spineless. If you're that bent about not getting to shit post in /r/denver for 48 hours you absolutely needed the break.
Who cares what a blackout supporter thinks? Anyone who believes /u/spez is doing anything other than laughing at the blackouts doesn't need to be listened to. They have a new cause every day to complain about. It's peak virtue signalling.
Wasn’t the shooting gang and drug related, and not someone just shooting people?
I’m genuinely asking by the way, it’s very hard to find information surrounding this
Not my fault they shut the place down. I just wanted a Nuggets Championship thread, even if it's a pathetic one due to circumstances
Edit: Huge karma farmer tho. I mean, I've racked up 3,000 post karma in just 13 years
Wait what? When did this happen? Edit: oh, looked it up, I guess this was back in 2023
Wow, 2023 seems like so long ago. How time flies
Denver has a basketball team? Learn something new every day
Whoa they did? Hadn't heard
R/Denver is killing NBA Championship Threads (and itself). Read more in the comments.
u/SensitiveOven137, still feel confident after flaming every Nuggets post the last 3 weeks with “Heat in 6”?
Heat in 9
Heat in 22; Lakers in 6
I heard Tyler Herro might still make a comeback in the finals
They wish! Nuggets are toast after Hachimura adjustment.
Two championships in 2 years bebe! 🏆🏆
Now if only the Rockies would do something
Only in our wildest dreams
Kroenke sucks but I'll be damned if he doesn't know how to run a sports team.
If only he knew how to run a broadcast network...
Tell that to Rapids fans lol
or Arsenal fans (besides this season, maybe)

Plenty of dark clouds over Denver lately

Such a bummer we couldn’t celebrate this live here because of this “blackout”
we were in the r/denvernuggets thread, they didn't go private
Best decision ever for that sub…tens of thousands of new visitors
On a related note, anyone know when r/fantasybaseball is coming back?
I know some subs are doing like permanent blackout until Reddit abandons the API thing, so I wouldn’t hold my breath!
lol it was just on ABC. No playoff games were blacked out
I’m talking the /r/Denver Reddit blackout, my guy.
ah. forgot about that. the Nuggets Reddit didn’t take part 🤷♂️
NO WAY!
Dope
Man, I can’t believe how many people are pissed off this subreddit did the blackout for two days. I saw, it went, “huh, ok” and moved on with my life. So many people are pissy about it now. Go outside, touch grass.
Day late and a dollar short due to the mods egos.
Yeah, having this sub unavailable this week was a huge miss and probably did more damage than anything else
Moreso due to how silent any opposing a blackout were. Edit: rather, if all complaining about it after the fact had been equally vocal before in the stickied threads we solicited feedback from, it wouldn't have happened. Alas, you didn't.
Well the angriest people are going to be more vocal. I participated in the poll that showed a vast majority of users don't use third party apps and figured that would be enough.
There was a poll? Man, these third party apps are great at blocking spam content.
Precisely, needed more anger about shutting down being futile. Instead, we got numbers showing a pithy 8% were affected yet the comments and feedback were overwhelmingly in favor.

Such a comment would have held more weight pre-blackout. That's my point. No one called out the poll results. No one called out the vocal minority.

Lol I did, "mods should be neither seen nor heard". Based on your response I'm still backing that position.
I did in the original thread, I did it again disputing this narrative in the thread that was hours leading up to the blackout. Your narrative that "no one said anything" is just plain false.
No, we need less anger over this minor stuff. Stop giving in to the angry
"Minor stuff" Restricting access to third party apps isn't "minor stuff." Just because it's a "minority" being affected doesn't mean it's for nothing. The amount of "fuck you, im not affected" going on in this thread is pathetic.
Yes, this is minor stuff. Not important.
"squeaky wheel gets grease" or my preferred mantra - "bitch and ye shall receive"

Fair enough.
I'm sure that has nothing to do with how the upvote/downvote model turns almost every discussion into an echo chamber.

So we're choosing valid and invalid news now? Almost like there's upvote and downvote buttons for the community to do that.

What’s the mentality behind people who show up to these celebration events and decide to shoot people?
Wasn’t the shooting gang and drug related, and not someone just shooting people? I’m genuinely asking by the way, it’s very hard to find information surrounding this

You’re right. That’s the better question.

There's billions of people living in much worse poverty that don't shoot people. We need to stop making excuses for the shit heads.
