I am disheartened to see some people today cheering when players are released. Cheering when someone loses their job is a terrible thing to do; it's even worse when guys like Beason, Beatty and Schwartz are released because they got injured on the job.
Saying that they make more than us isn't a valid excuse to be a douche. They may deserve to be cut but we as fans should still treat them as human beings who suited up and played for the team that we loved. Once a Giant, always a Giant.
I guess it's one notch better than the galactic-level BBI idiot who celebrated when George Young died...
No one is actually celebrating the fact that a human being lost his job.
The view from the moral high ground apparently isn't as clear as advertised.
Look up a couple of posts and let me know if you think calling a guy who shattered his ankle a thief because he couldn't play is bad form somehow fits your definition of 'moral high ground'.

This is false.
None of Beason, Beatty and Schwartz were anything but fine men when they were Giants.
It's a happiness from the perspective of improving the team.
In a business where loyalty is rarely shown from the players to the team why should we as fans develop personal feelings towards the players? Yes some will make an impact and we learn to appreciate some for the moments but in the end our main focus is the NY on the side of the helmet.

There are posters cheering on the Beason, Schwartz and Beatty threads. I won't name the posters but it's pretty obvious once you check the threads out.
So yes, my post was factually incorrect. Mea Culpa.
Even some of the long-time posters are embarrassing with their commentary on these guys getting cut. All while they seemingly have absolutely no concept of what it takes to be a professional athlete at this level. If they did understand it they wouldn't be posting stupid shit every fuckin day.

You're not really getting it. I'll try and help. He's not calling out posters who are happy about the move. He's calling out posters who are happy a (now former) Giant is out of a job.

The posters showing support of the decisions (in whatever words they choose) are simply happy that the organization made a choice that they think is the correct one.

I made posts on both the Beatty and Schwartz threads that are supportive of the decision.
I think the vast majority of the posts on those threads are fine, even with exclamation points or shows of excitement. People don't need to act or post like they're at a funeral.
Obviously, statements like averagejoe made are inappropriate, full stop.
Especially injuries - injuries basically kill their livelihoods. Do you think Schwartz wouldn't rather go on to have a nice, long injury free career that lasts 10-12 seasons? Instead, there's a good chance he's done now.
Sure, he's made some good money - but he worked damn hard to get where he did, and in the end, he'll have made a fraction of what he might have earned if he could have stayed healthy. In addition, he's had to deal with painful injuries, the effects of which will likely last for a very long time, if not the rest of his life, and impair his after-football health.
So yeah, take that Schwartz, you crook!
At least he won't have to worry about Cam Newton jumping on!
So while I don't celebrate them losing their jobs it shouldn't have come as a huge surprise to any of them. Beatty and Schwartz will likely find a paycheck next month.
Lets see how many athletes chose the NFL over any other pro league...I'd guarantee you not many.
After all, Beatty has been nothing but injured since he was drafted. He may be a great guy but his contributions to the Giants have been minimal. Same thing for Schwarz and Beason. No doubt, in Beason's case, he is a quality person but the fortunes of the game caused these guys to be unproductive members of the Giants who were eating up too much cap space and money based on their contributions. That is just fact and therefore I applaud the moves. I also think Beatty's refusal to consider right tackle might have forced the Giants' hand.
Fact is we have to move on from players who constantly get hurt and miss tons of time. That is just reality and no offense to them or their families. That's the business of the NFL.
They are unemployed but can comfortably retire at any point, these people are not the victims you pathetic homers frame them to be.
I'm sorry you sensitive babies don't like how cruel the world can be when you don't live up to expectations.
Go back to your safe space!

Limerick Guy is too busy predicting whether or not Corey Coleman is a future diva, and making assumptions about how JPP is not to be trusted with money.

Undoubtedly the newest, biggest horse's ass on BBI. Fat, stupid, and constantly confrontational isn't the way to go here.
Or an old familiar troll with a fresh coat of paint.

Thank you for proving my point, but you would never say that to my face tough guy. Keep typing away you warrior.
........cries about me being confrontational.
Another angry baby boomer who provides nothing to this planet. Why don't you go "consult" something.....or get a real job.

Love the personal attacks. Keep em coming.
1) Corey Coleman never made a play he didn't LOVE. All I said is he has a little DeSean Jackson in him and we already have a diva-esque WR in Beckham. What's not true about that?
2) Are you ready to hand JPP 10 million dollars a year? Even if he wasn't a Darwin Award nominee he hasn't proven he can effectively tackle right now.
How hard is it to admit that I was right about JPP since the end of 2015? I'd say it was about 1000-1 in people telling me I was crazy and how he was going to be this amazing all pro and that he wasn't this immature kid and he had learned discipline on and off the field.
In a 7 month period where he had to do nothing but not hurt himself to set up his grandkids grandkids for life he decided to play with explosives.
I'm sorry but I can't trust a guy like that with 1/15th of my yearly salary cap.
Flame all you want but I'm not wrong on JPP and never have been. On Graham? Who knows- he could be Antonio Brown or he could be R Jay Soward. I can't say that for sure and neither can you.
Your social life is not too strong with the amount of time you spend on this site.........it's kind of sad. Goodbye
Goodbye you winners!
I think that's entirely possible, since it's probably the same 2 or 3 assholes running all the troll handles
I had the same happy reaction as many other posters in seeing these cuts today and don't see a good reason why those posters shouldn't be able to share their happy reaction to the cuts on a Giants message board.
Newton like class. That's a good one.
Don't feel bad for Beatty and Schwartz either those guys are going to continue their NFL careers. It sucks that both aren't right for the Giants anymore but someone is going to pick up an average - above average tackle this offseason.
