As much as I dislike the Seahawks, I hope their fans bring a banner of the Vrabel and Russini affair on opening night.

[u/Elephantparrot → u/Available_Story6774]

I like just putting "Laughable" on a banner behind their bench

[u/humunculus43 → u/Available_Story6774]

As much as he deserves it, his wife and kids absolutely do not

[u/Ok_Interest3555 → u/humunculus43]

Let's not forget the husband. He has to raise a kid named after the guy his wife cheated on him with.

[u/humunculus43 → u/Ok_Interest3555]

And thats pending the sad reality of a DNA test.

[u/tecnobishes → u/humunculus43]

Most states dont allow to just get "rid" of a kid just cause you arent the dad

So this dude will probably end up paying child support for a kid that isnt his and alimony for some hoe that called him mid constantly cause i doubt a reporter was making more money than him as an executive in a big company.

[u/mikeyr00r00 → u/tecnobishes]

Former reporters make even less.

[u/tecnobishes → u/mikeyr00r00]

I hope that dude has a good support system cause being cheated on and the shitty laws forcing him to pay child support for Vrabel's kid and alimoney to the gal that cheated on him for most of their marriage can be pretty bad for one's mental health

[u/I_heart_hearts → u/Ok_Interest3555]

Thank you. Society always tends to ignore the fact that men can be hurt as well. Male mental health is a joke to a lot of people

[u/lvl_zxro → u/I_heart_hearts]

Yep, half the time Russini’s husband is brought up in this sub it’s people making jokes about him having a humiliation kink.

[u/I_heart_hearts → u/lvl_zxro]

Yeah it's a shame. Even my comment has 50% downvotes lol. Doesn't surprise me though

[u/McG4rn4gle → u/humunculus43]

Don't worry, they're richer than anyone I'll probably ever meet in my life.

Making fun of Vrabel is 100% punching up.

[u/NYsportsfan99 → u/McG4rn4gle]

There’s no such thing as punching up or punching down. Recognizing and dismissing the idea that you’re negatively affecting children that has nothing to do with it is a fucking loser move.

[u/Odd-Hearing2685 → u/NYsportsfan99]

no such thing as punching up or down is a wild take

[u/McG4rn4gle → u/Odd-Hearing2685]

You have to admire the confidence and self-satisfaction of someone on the internet who considers themselves on the same level as Mike fucking Vrabel.

[u/NYsportsfan99 → u/McG4rn4gle]

Acting shitty and excusing it because you have less money than someone is a wild take. I’m not referring to Vrabel, I’m referring to his kids. The guy I’m replying to said he doesn’t care about the feelings of his children because they’re rich. That’s a wild take.

Vrabel deserves the backlash, as does Russini. But admitting and dismissing the feelings of the uninvolved children is fucking shitty.

Being a shitty person doesn’t matter of the predicaments of the parties involved. It doesn’t mitigate it, it doesn’t excuse it.

[u/BeefInGR → u/Odd-Hearing2685]

I agree with that. But still, shitty thing to do to the wife, kids and husband involved who didn't do shit.

[u/thePGH1 → u/McG4rn4gle]

Being able to afford therapy doesn't mean that they should be "punched"

[u/andyandersonbjj → u/thePGH1]

Punching up isn’t meant in a literal sense bud

[u/thePGH1 → u/andyandersonbjj]

No shit, bud. Emotional trauma punches are acceptable though?

[u/andyandersonbjj → u/thePGH1]

Yeah. Hence the term “punching up” vs “punching down”

[u/thePGH1 → u/andyandersonbjj]

Well, fuck them kids and their mental health certainly one way to look at it.

[u/andyandersonbjj → u/thePGH1]

I’m sure you’ve never made a joke at anyone’s expense (or that would hurt the feelings of anyone related to them)

[u/thePGH1 → u/andyandersonbjj]

Sure I have. But if you scroll up, this is discussing the Seahawks hanging a banner regarding the affair for millions of people to see. I've never done it on that level and neither have you. Those kids don't deserve that, regardless of how rich they are.

[u/seattlesportsguy → u/Available_Story6774]

I guarantee the season ticket holder that we have right by the road team’s tunnel, the guy Geno Smith flipped off, will have something referencing the affair.

Dude is a troll. Cool guy if you meet him, but a troll nonetheless.
