Norm Peterson is without question awful. His takes are the epitome of what is wrong with sports fans. Back in the day, he posted here on occasion. I actually thought he was a troll trying to make Husker fans look ridiculous. When I found out he was a human, I was sad for him.
All that said, he’s not an overall reflection of the fanbase. Currently, there is a tweet out there from a diehard Jay fan calling the BlueCrew losers. It’s “liked” many times over. Calling college kids losers in this situation is objectively abhorrent. If Norm, or another fanbase, broadly painted Jay fans as being represented by this one guy and the handful who liked his opinion - that would be really stupid. Likewise, taking Norm’s (or any one fan’s take of any fanbase) embarrassing post and having that represent the collective is similarly stupid.
Ridicule Norm. He deserves it. Ridicule anyone who is likeminded to Norm. But unless you’re willing to be lumped in with every bad take disseminated by a Jay fan, it shouldn’t go much further than that.
