Either “You are…” or “You’re..” is fine. What is not fine is the misspelling of “article”. And you may have gotten “dill-holes” wrong too!

And yeah, I misspelled ‘article’ (LOL).

You are all retarded. Or do you prefer; “You’re all retarded?” Who cares about grammar. Read the articel and stop being dill-holes.

RG Earl: You omitted the apostrophe for the possessive in “teams” – should’ve been “team’s”. Gosh, this is fun. Certainly more fun than writing about the Gnats.

Still poorly written.
The phrasing is off.
It would be better as “Yormark, we understand your frustration”, or if you want the slang, “We get it that you are frustrated”
Or separate it into two sentences “Yormark, we get it. You are frustrated with your teams win/loss record”.
While the contraction was used properly, it still could use improvement.

That is so funny. The word “you’re” was used correctly. As in “Yormark, we get you’re frustrated…..” as in “Yormark, we get you are frustrated….”.

What’s bizarre is the complete lack of self-awareness, and lack of a conscience of this “CEO” (using the term loosely). The team is on the way to a record-breaking losses mark, and the organization has done everything but change the name on the uniforms to read “Brooklyn Nets” to show the Jersey fans how much you appreciate them, but then HE has has the nerve to be angry? Yormark gets to draw a seven-figure paycheck for this atrocity, paid for in part, by a guy with a paper bag on his head but sitting in cour-side seats.
Someone that dumb shouldn’t be allowed to be the “Chief” or “Executive” of ANYTHING!

What Yormark should have done was refund the ticket price on the spot! He should refund the money to all the season ticket holders, who ever heard of a basketball team with 7 wins in a season.

How can the CEO dare say anything to anyone about the fans showing frustration at how the Nets played this year. If the players could wear the bags over their heads, they would probably do the same thing. Apparently; the CEO isn’t a sports fans and all he sees is that the Nets are putting a team on the floor and winning doesn’t count. I just have one thing to say to Yormark- LOSERRRRRRRRRRRR

I like the guy waving his tix in Mr. Exec’s face. I’d be making some calls and raising Hell in the media until the Nets made it worth my while to stop. And if I were Mr. CEO, I’d tidy up that resume; talking smack to paying fans ain’t the best way to impress the new bosski.
