Pat is, without doubt, a world-class jack wagon. That said : the Bachman's father sorta seems like one as well. I expected what was said to be actually overly critical or negative. These are are high level division 1 recruits who are being paid to attend a college and wrestle when they do go to college. Criticism comes with that. College athletes and their families sure do enjoy the benefits of the modern landscape and getting paid while sometimes not understanding the other side of that coin. Your son is not some innocent college student beyond reproach. They're essentially paid employees, will be officially someday, and they are open to criticism, warranted or not.
You realize his son is under 18 and still in high school right? Maybe Mr Bachman goes old school and finds ole slick Mineo and gives him a good *** whipping while telling him to keep his family's name out of his mouth. Take the simple assault charge and smile about it for the rest of your life. Sometimes things like that are necessary.

Yea If Everytime someone critiques your child's athletic performance you get into a fight you're not teaching your child what you think you are....

Way less then you think, dude is a tool. He has no problem ripping on wrestlers and thier parents, but his fat a$$ wife is off limits to make fun of.... 😉 😄 😜
Nobody is off limits. It is just that minnow man thrives in these situations and now Bachman's dad has opened his poor kid up to a world of attacks he didn't need. Old Pat may be a sleaze ball but he has a huge following and now because of the dad the kid is going to be the butt of online crap for the rest of his career. It isn't fair, but that is going to be the result. These non media people that have such a big presence online can do quite a lot of damage if they can get under your skin. Don't lie down with pigs. I don't think your decision to attack the fat lady will help the situation. It will just further promote the BS story line that Hawkeye fans are all trailer park trash. Don't promote this. It is far better to point out how Minnow is being an ***, than to try to one up him.

I get it, but the dude is a scumbag . He likes to post negative things about HS kids. So if he posts pictures of miss piggy on social media it's fair game and well deserved.

Well, a silver lining in this hot mess is that free speech and the internet/social media make it much easier to guage many individual's IQ, level of emotional maturity, self awareness, and impulse control, plus I suppose how much/often they drink or whether they make money off clicks and reads/responses.

Anonymity is by far the strongest driving force for most on here, considering the things you listed above.

As far as judging a dad's response to someone like Mineo goes, I think he deserves a TON of leeway. Could he and even should he have taken a better tact? I would say yes. But, he most certainly isn't arguing with a Jason Bryant type, meaning someone in the field who has actually done enough to earn respect. Mineo is so far on the opposite side of the spectrum that the only way you can truly have any discourse with a pig is to fully wallow in the slop...

When we behave badly, we sink to their level.
In a vacuum that is a perfect, altruistic stance. But, we don't live in a vacuum. Sometimes the ignore the bully tactic doesn't work. As I said prior, sometimes the ONLY way to deal with a pig is to get every bit as dirty, if not more so....

He's a POS, for sure, and it's hard to ignore him, but karma usually has a way of coming back around. Worst part about him is that he does this schtick for clicks, and he does indeed get clicks. I'm glad I don't know him personally because the drama he'd bring would be unbearable.....

Then you need to have overwhelming force. Bullies only back down if they think that they'll lose. And I didn't say ignore. Do call it out when you see it.
With enough public shame, they will STFU.
