Wow the Ant haters are really coming out of the woodwork now

It's funny because before Ant's assault and subsequent twitter rants this sub was a bastion of Opie hate. It's amazing seeing all the new accounts showing up posting anti-anthony material now.

If you hate the show and the hosts there are plenty of other options like podcasts and howard (just don't listen to pre-1995 stern where he uses the word 'nigger' in a way that would put O&A to shame).

Real fans support the hosts and the show. This is obviously a media hit job and I'm sick of the shills and anti-anthony comments here.

"Real fans support the hosts and the show."

In context, you could be the dumbest person to ever post here.

hahahahahahaha have as many upvotes as I am allowed to give you. (it's 1)

You, to me, are PFG.

Now, for those of you who don't know what PFG is...

New account. All anti-anthony posts. Hard to hide your bias.

Most of my posts are about Scorch and Bobo, actually.

Speaking of which, this isn't Bobo, is it?

Whether or not he should lose his job over this - which I think he definitely shouldn't.

If you're stupid enough to be a media-personality in this day and age, with over 150,000 followers, and then tweet stuff like "They're not people." along with all the other stuff - you're an idiot.

Ant was in control of this story. He could have shut up and kept it to himself, or mentioned it next week on the show and no one would have cared.

Now he's not in control of it and it's his own fault.

plain and simple Anthony can only blame anthony for this. if this was an isolated event it could be brushed off, but over the past 6 years they have hours of audio of him stating his racial opinions to pull from. as they slowly find more and more clips like they have it only develops a pattern to show the people who dont know the show.

Totally agree.

If it's an isolated rant after an assault... You can justify it as a heat of the moment reaction. That doesn't work here, though.

Actually real fans don't have such an emotional attachment to the show that we blindly defend the hosts.

And this isn't a hit job. The media didn't make Anthony post anything on Twitter. The media didn't screw Anthony, Anthony screwed Anthony.

The media didn't screw Anthony, Anthony screwed Anthony.

Hello Vince McMahon

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer Fiiiiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrred!

No one here wants Anthony fired, and if you check the comment sections of any of the write-ups on this, you'll find no shortage of "pests" backing him up. We just know he's held back less and less over the years, and it was only a matter of time before it got picked up and jeopardized the show.

The fact of the matter is most of us support the guy, we just don't support a lot of the things he says. Isn't that the number one thing O&A have preached for years?

I don't think any of us hate Ant but what he did was incredibly stupid and now he's gotta pay for that. I don't think he should be fired for what he says, but what did he expect to happen? You can't be a media figure, and go on racist tirades calling blacks subhuman and then expect to get away with it when you have 150k followers. Plus I don't necessarily agree with Ant on race most of the time. I think he's hilarious and I enjoy his opinions, but Jesus Christ learn to shut the fuck up sometimes. If he'd just kept quite on Twitter this thing would have blown over like nothing happened. I think that's the point most listeners have.

I think Ant is the funniest guy on the show. That doesn't mean I have to like him.

This isn't anti-Ant material, you dope. This is just goofing on him in a scary but funny scenario.

Heres where he went wrong.if he had kept his tweeting to a minimum after the incident perhaps only one or two racial ones with the picture and then waited for the show to say all this stuff he would have gotten away with it because he has gone off on black people on the show before without anyone giving a fuck.

opiesucks, comment?

It's mostly trolls I imagine. Not really shocking given this sub's hysteria sometimes.

Typical /r/opieandanthony subscriber:

  • Hates Opie

  • Hates Jimmy and are tired of his opinions

  • Thinks Anthony's funny but hates him as well.

  • Listens to the show enough where they take to the internet to discuss it.

Please explain to me how you're all not mentally retarded?

Can't disagree with those points. This place is turning into wackbag fast.

Our dislike of his racism has been a pretty consistent topic over time. I legitimately enjoy the show and think he's a talented and funny guy. But my own values are more important than proving myself to be a real, loyal o&a fan in the eyes of someone like you.

So by your own comment it was ok when it was hate about Opie but now it's not ok? Even though the pock mark faced drop out did this all to himself?

Just stick to reposting tired show references. At least you'll give yourself a hard on.

like your last submission?

Not sure what tired show reference I just posted?

*ahem

Enjoy your downvotes, faggot

Real fans can support a losing baseball team, but should real fans continue to support a racist player? You sir, are off-base.

Is this the first time you ever heard Ant get racial? He's been doing this sorta thing forever. Now that the media is paying attention you are finally acknowledging that "maybe Ant is a racist!" and pulling your support for him?

yes how dare someone get assaulted and be mad about it.

what you said is right, but most dont turn to twitter and vomit nonsense knowing they are celebrity. take off the fan boy hate and understand anthony has no one to blame but himself on this one. if he didnt jump on the internet to scream and hollar this would be nothing. ant has been acting lately like he has been invincible and it caught up with him. no one wants to see him lose his job

You are really, really, very stupid.
