1. Do certain people disagree with other people point of view, just to be disagreeable?
2. Is it the way, someone was raised?
3. Is it our new, cultural statement?
4. Did we lose our sense of decency?
I can see a reporter needing to write an article as he/she is paid to do, but what makes a reporter cross the line of decency, in writing about a good person in a negative way.
I have also noticed this, on the forum as some people start a thread and disagree with another's point of view. Why does someone posed a scenario, only to disagree with another's point of view. What is the purpose? What happened to people lending support and comfort, to those who need help.
Maybe the political forum allowed people to vent their frustrations, with another's point of view. I really don't know, as I never went there.
I remember when this forum had many people on, who only wanted to help people and joke around. They got to know each other, and became friends. Somehow, that is getting lost along the way. IMHO
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. It doesn't make it right, or wrong. The only offense is to state your case, in an indelicate manner. How about agreeing to disagree respectfully. What does one accomplish to just put down, another's point of view? Does one think, you get elevated, to a new found respect.

I tried reading most of the article from your link but I'm not a sports fan so I think I may be missing something. In other words, I haven't been following the story and don't know what he has said.
That being the case, I would give him the benefit of the doubt that he must have had some reason for saying what he said. Why would someone say something for no reason? If someone judges his statements to be indecent, could it be because they don't know everything that he knows about a certain situation?
About posting on this forum: I can't comment without specifics. It depends on the individual thread and what was actually said. What is indelicate to one may be straightforwardness to another. It's subjective.
I think women are naturally better at putting things delicately. Men can be blunt at times because it comes natural to them. And I assume you are complaining about certain men on this forum, is that correct?
