A classless tweet?

Argo57, I am as old school as anyone but "professional" by old school standards is antiquated and not how it's done anymore. Time to play or get left behind. Nice to see the organization and fans not be typical Canadian baxters for once even though its ingrained in our culture.

I found it funny. Loved the one with Jason riding a horse too

To be fair the T-Cats started it with a tweet on November 8 after the Argos were eliminated when Montreal suddenly came down with a severe case of suck-itis. Don't start what you can't finish I guess.

People need to relax. Its just banter.

So the thread is .... Classless Tweet? ...... maybe in some situations..... but not when it involves the TiCats.

This just feeds into the crazy rivalry. I'm not sure if you have ever been to a Ticats game when the Argos aren't even playing.... but there are constant anti Argo comments .... in the stands... on the radio before and after the game. And we aren't even there!

I don't think the rivalry with the TiCats can ever be politically correct.... its just toooo hilarious and crazy a rivalry. Especially funny now that I know the tweeters Argos and Ticats know each other!

It's ok, you go ahead I'll sit this one out.

Look at it like this. The Argos did get coverage from all major news networks. It's better than the Grey Cup being pushed off to the side by NFL news. The Argos are still relevant! Take that Arash.

I think its great that the teams are able to do this to each other over Twitter. It helps the 'personality' of the league big time. Would you ever see an NFL team do this to their biggest rival? Not likely.

Its one of the things that makes the CFL great, and its one of the things that makes this rivalry great. I didn't have a problem when the Ticats tweeted it to the Argos. Sure, I was pissed off that we lost, but I thought that it was a clever tweet. To see the Argos cheering so profusely for the Stamps was hilarious, and that tweeted capped it off.

classless??? wear double blue at the labour day classic next year and you will learn what classless is.

I've never had an issue with Ti-Cat fans while wearing my double blue at a Ti-Cat game. I was wearing it at TigerTown in Vancouver and had a great time. Most fans get it and enjoy the rivalry in good fun. Every team has classless fans but luckily they seem to be the minority.

Twitter is for twats.

I am not sure what is means, but it said "Hey Argos, Sup"....I have a feeling it was not very nice

I'm pretty sure that tweet by the Ti-Cats was in response to this one:

Hey @mtlalouettes, you know what to do today... Plus, nobody wants to see the @Ticats in the #GCPlayoffs anyways. #CFL

See above.

Over 1000 retweets , coverage on multiple sports feeds. Smart of the Argos to work themselves into the GC storyline.
Nice to see the Argos showin a little Moxy

The back and forth between the Argos and Ti-Cats on Twitter is defiantly being done in the spirit of the rivalry and I personally don't see a problem with it. As it has already been said above, it got the Argos attention which in this case I think it was positive even if it was considered "controversial."

On a side note, I'm pretty sure it was received the right way by Stamps fans but in another context our logo branding their horse could be seen as us beating them and stealing their mascot. I would have put the logo on Jason's cape. Maybe I just read into it to much.

I love to be an ass, laugh and have fun. I totally enjoy comedy but have zero use for social media. However when I was showed these tweets, I laughed like hell. The Argos need more of these types working for them. Great job!!!!! It's football not learning that two Vancouver Island friends are at deaths door in which we just found out. Life is tough so any chance to laugh is a good thing.

True enough, sorry to hear about your friends, yes we are talking football not curing cancer.
