The_Admiral Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 The Raiders could have defused the situation along the way but "I can't go to training camp because I accidentally froze my feet" probably can't be met with "yeah whatever no big deal we'll figure it out as we go along." The whole situation is sui generis weirdness and can't be neatly sorted into the NFL's terrible labor-management relations nor into race essentialism. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JG36 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 As a Boston sports fan, this reminds me of when Kyrie was traded to the Celtics. I never liked him, he was actually one of my least favorite players. But I knew that he’d be good and I’d have to like rooting for him, but I had to see him play great before I did. I’ve never liked Antonio Brown. I’ve been making jokes about him all week but now he’s on my team. He needs to provide an impact before I’m hooked.

BBTV Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 76ers forward Mike Scott, who is a pretty popular player here, went to the Eagles vs Washington game in Washington gear and got into a legitimate fight with tailgating Eagles fans. Investigations are underway - not sure who started it. Not sure what he was thinking - it's cool to be a fan of whatever team you want to be, but if you play in a city and presumably most of your fans are also fans of the Eagles, maybe not rub it in their face. Curious how the fight started. "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

Not saying to pander to them and pretend to be an Eagles fan, but just not put it in their face. In the grand scheme of things it's not a big deal, but seems to be unnecessary.

I get what you're saying, but Mike Scott is allowed to like a football team that is from a different city than the franchise he plays for and people can go pound sand if they don't like it. Mike Scott could be traded to the Nuggets or Pelicans (or Wizards) tomorrow. And considering Philly's past treatment of players as assets, Philly fans really can't complain about Sixers players not having blind loyalty to the city. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceCap Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I'm with BBTV here. I get that you're allowed to be a fan of whoever you want to be a fan of, and I don't even mind if you go to a game for another team in the town you play in and wear the other team's cap or jersey. Fans should realize that hey, you're a person you have your own loyalties, and respect that. At the same time? If you're that athlete? Probably best not to be a total jack about it. Just wear your Washington jersey, go to the game, enjoy yourself. And if people give you grief just say "I'm from northern Virginia, what do you want?"

You are saying this like a eagles fan didn’t get into his face trying to start a fight knowing who he was. I don’t thing an IG post and happening to get into a fight on your way into the stadium as rubbing it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
