well when things are done they're done you can't change them and to me that didnt seem like an "affectionate gesture" it was rude and y does only one player talk for the whole team??

i dont think they were being affectionate, no one thinks of being "affectionate" when they do that.

If i were him i wouldn't of said "affectionate" lol.
Although it was rude, i don't think they deliberately meant to offend anyone when taking it. cuz we all joke around sometimes, although when i do its not posted all over the world.... !! o0ps on their part.
