I'd love to say just don't do it. Just don't pick your favorite Leaf boytoys. Don't only 'ride or die' for your coveted Leaf player of the moment, even against all logic. Don't bend math and circumstance just to fit a narrative for your honeybear boo pie love thing... Just instead - pour that passion into the team dynamic, into the game that the collective squad plays.. into the Leafs as a whole.
But that's like, impossible for most people. Most people geek out and fanboy - And then we get these terrible Marner and Nylander camps - like the two always have to be diametrically opposed. Shyttttttt. Don't you see that the two of them seem to get along just fine? Maybe these two fanboy factions could learn from the example, and try to do the same.
Sorry.. I'm really not trying to tell anyone how to be a fan... but it's been hella annoying to watch and often prevents sensible analysis and discussion - just simply due to the inherent favoritism and strong biases that people feel they need to create about the players themselves.
K.. End Rant.
