The Nemesis
Semper Tyrannus
How many fans were legitimately cheering the injury and not the turnover that occurred in the moment? And how many fans that were cheering for the fact that Durant was out would've been able to discern that he was just hobbled a bit and out of the game vs actually severely hurt. Not that there's a right time/way to be positive about an opponent injury, but there's a big difference between "yay, now we don't have to deal with Durant for the rest of the game" and "lol, his career is over. Hahaha, loser." type reactions.
I'm not even from Toronto, but if you think that this sort of behavior is unique to any city in the world, you're out to lunch. This is not an issue of Toronto sports fans specifically, this is an issue with sports fans in general, or more broadly, people in general.
A petulant baby like Cousins is probably the last person who should be taking shots at people for being "trash" or disrespectful or whatever. I also love the quote in that piece where he talks about how they (NBA players) are all idolized but then trails off into a comment about how bad it is that when they do something dumb they get called on it. I get the sense it's probably a combo of a poorly-worded thought and a badly edited quote, but it makes it sound like he doesn't think players should be criticized if they act like idiots in the heat of the moment.
Also heads up that I'm gonna lock this thread down in a little bit because we're over 1,000 posts.
So if you've got something to say, say it now. I'll start a fresh thread in about 40 minutes (9:30pm ET) just to give everyone time to wrap up any immediate discussion.
Toronto fans are awful. We all remember the bat flip but choose to ignore the debauchery that preceded it. Hitting babies with beer. Trying to hit Rangers players. The uniquely Torontonians inferiority complex strikes again.
