I’m sure everyone and their third cousin knows about the Ravens vs. Foxes Championship match up tonight. For anyone who hasn’t seen daysin’s list of available sites to watch the match live here it is again. It’s sure to be an interesting game.
Also, while we’re at it, I’d like to remind everyone of the comm rules to continue making exy_daily accessible and fun for everyone using it. If you have wank, keep it off the comm. Or better yet, take it to ontd_exy or Tumblr. Not adhering to the comm rules my result in a temporary ban. Frequent disregard to comm rules will result in a permanent ban.

Violence and Death Strike NCAA Exy Championships
by Eric Webb
Coming out of Evermore in West Virginia last night, the 2009-2010 NCAA exy season came to a violent close. The formerly undefeated Edgar Allan University Ravens lost to the Palmetto State University Foxes. The match up itself came as surprise. The Foxes, who previously ranked last place in Class I exy, had a noteworthy and surprising season. Despite their surprising season, most sports analysts placed their bets on the championship match being between the first seeded Edgar Allan Ravens and the second seeded University of South California Trojans. However, the Trojan’s championship dreams came to a close when they lost their last playoff match against the Palmetto State Foxes.
Last night’s intense match came to an even more violent close after the final buzzer when Riko Moriyama, nephew of exy founder Tetsuji Moriyama and captain of the Ravens, exchanged words with freshman Foxes striker, Neil Josten. The two have had numerous back and forth exchanges in the media after Josten lodged personal attacks at Moriyama on Saturday Morning with Kathy late last August. Moriyama and Josten’s on field exchange was cut short when Foxes goalie, Andrew Minyard, swung his racket and shattered Moriyama’s forearm. Riko was escorted off the stadium by team paramedics to receive treatment, however he never made it out of the compound. Riko Moriyama was found dead in one of Evermore’s towers after what police have ruled as a suicide.
Ravens fans and exy fans alike mourn the loss of such a young yet influential player. Many of fans are asking the Exy Rule and Regulation Committee and local authorities to further investigate foul play as an option in Moriyama’s death.
The history of bad blood between the Foxes and Ravens extend far past media disputes between Josten and Moriyama.
Last January, Kevin Day, former striker for the Edgar Allan Ravens and son of exy founder, Kaleigh Day, suffered a hand injury from an alleged skiing accident that put him out of rest of the 2008-2009 season. Day, one of only two collegiate players - the other being Riko Moriyama - accepted onto the US National team, was dropped from the national team and the NCAA Championships following his accident. However, Day made surprising decision to join the Palmetto State Foxes for the remainder of the season as the assistant coach to Foxes Coach David Wymack.
The Palmetto State Foxes’ championship run is not without controversy. While Palmetto State regularly comes under controversy for their recruitment standards, Coach David Wymack only accepts players from troubled backgrounds, the team has come under more scrutiny over this season’s single freshman recruit, Neil Josten son of the late Baltimore area crime boss Nathan Wesninski, and the death of striker Bryan Gordan during the middle of this season.
Both the ERC and local authorities are investigating possible foul play as well and Josten and Minyard’s involvement with Riko prior to his death. However, authorities continue to rule suicide as the cause of death.
Exy fans keep the Moriyama family and the Ravens in their thoughts and prayers.

Why is the exy fandom so gross?

This is barely a question. The exy fandom is just gross. End of.
Re: Why is the exy fandom so gross?

Wow, that’s the broad generalization. Are we talking professional level or college level? Does anyone really care about college sports anymore lol
Re: Why is the exy fandom so gross?
(Anonymous)
DA – Yeah you really haven’t seen exy before. People are as wild about college exy as they are about pro exy. It’s a pretty new sport and one of the two founders is still alive and coaches the team at Edgar Allan University. His nephew, Riko Moriyama, and the son of of the other founder, Kevin Day, played for the Ravens (Edgar Allan’s team). They’re the only college players to play for the national team which was a Big Deal. Everyone was expecting them to change the game when they finally went pro. But then the past 18 months happened. calveert did a good round up on the mess that was this past season of college exy
tl;dr – The exy fandom is a mess because this sport is a mess. Mostly the Raven’s fans. But yeah.

OA, okay I had to google all of that but I still stand that the exy fandom is gross. Are you all just desensitized to violence and mob bosses?
Re: Why is the exy fandom so gross?
(Anonymous)
The mob bosses and death are new. But like the previous anon said, the past season and a half have been a mess. The ERC is investigating the Ravens but it’s mostly their diehard fans that make the fandom unbearable and it’s just been even worse since Kevin left. Riko’s death is sad, but his rabid fans are going after Kevin fans and anyone who even mentions liking the foxes. They’re basically calling for Andrew Minyard’s head on a platter.
Re: Why is the exy fandom so gross?
(Anonymous)
It’s their fault for letting a rabid animal like Minyard play. And they let him off his crazy meds? Bullshit. Riko would still be here if it wasn’t for that pos.
Re: Why is the exy fandom so gross?
(Anonymous)
AYRT – tone it down a bit there. Damn. We don’t know what it is that set Riko off. But he swung his racket at someone’s head. What was Minyard supposed to do? Watch his teammate get brained on the field? It’s been a difficult year for Riko, but I’m thinking back to Kevin’s injury and I’m really starting to think what he implied about it not being an accident. I’m still sad about Riko, don’t get me wrong, but there are so many things we know nothing about.

importance of safe spaces and support
I know these last few days have been tough for a lot of people. This is a reminder to everyone that place your own self-care and well-being first. We are a family and we take care of each other, but there has been a lot of toxicity around here lately. I don't want to have to remind people of the comm guidelines again so please try to be respectful of others.

Thank you for this May. Tumblr and Twitter have been a hot mess since the match. I'm almost too afraid to log off.

Ugh, don't remind me calveert. My askbox is a trainwreck right now. I had to turn off anon asks because people were getting extremely nasty. You can't even go into any tags without getting swarmed by hate. It's mostly from the usual suspects but it's still upsetting to watch the exy fandom fall apart.
Reply from eagleharts
are we going to pretend that it's not the r*vens fans and r*ko's rabid fanboys that are causing half the mess. i'm just annoyed that minyard didn't pop him in the face. that team has been bullying every one else for years let the erc investigate them.
Reply from minijostens
Wooooah eagleharts. That Webb article from deadspin made it seem like the foxes were the ones under investigation after the championship fiasco.
Reply from eagleharts
since when is deadspin unbiased and responsible reporting. ask anyone who was there. the 'exchange' was r*ko swinging his fucking racket at josten's head. everyone in the stadium saw it the cameras caught it. i don't know who they think they're fooling or who bought them off

Look, I don't care if your a Raven's fan or not. I don't care if you liked Riko or you hated him to the pits of hell. Someone died. Yet some of you continue to be tremendous assholes. Someone. Died. Jfc, what's wrong with some of you.
