why do celtic fans hate kyrie so much?

[PD28]

did he make some comments about them while he was there or after or something? i know he was injured and underperformed, but am i missing something else?

lol, what site is this from

Is that a facebook post or a site like the onion?

Lol it was a rumour posted at the time - took me awhile to find Lucky being Danny's son still cracks me up

[DroseReturnChi]

celtics dont realize tatum and brown sucked at the time kyrie had to leave. kyrie wanted to be a celtic but team wasnt good enough.

Long story short, and you're going to hear a lot of bitter stories, Boston has a generational sports culture, and that family gave Kyrie a heroes welcome, and all the support we as a community could. And after that 17 game win streak or whatever Kyrie just wasn't Kyrie anymore, and just started disrespecting the franchise. Everyone thinks all this started in year 2, correction, Kyrie started burning bridges year 1 when he didn't show up to consequential playoff games...That's really not okay in Boston, where we kind of pride ourselves on being the "blue collar" big market town.

He started doing essentially what he's been doing in BRK except that type of BS isn't welcome in Boston, and we traded the heart and soul of our team, and a guy that was a true Celtic for Kyrie. So the feelings are always going to be brackish.

Tonight in that 4th Q he was as good as its gets ... Booing and hate motives Kyrie

[timO]

he left them, by even okc forgives KD

A handful of things:

- This is not his fault, and it shouldn't be held against him, but the guy sent out for him (Isaiah) was absolutely beloved
- His pseudo (to be generous) intellectual crap wore very thin
- The broken promise (don't care about this that much, personally - things change)
- He led the most joyless Celtics season I've ever experienced as a fan. Just miserable start to finish, despite an insane amount of talent.
- Throwing younger teammates under the bus
- Not taking any accountability whatsoever
- Stories (during the season, not after) of him being rude to people within the organization like Mike Gorman
- Him constantly pointing to the playoffs as a reason why fans shouldn't worry about regular season Ls
- Him having an absolutely awful first game of the playoffs, saying that'll never happen again, and each subsequent game literally being worse - have never seen someone so blatantly quit on a team
- I was so shocked by how gutless he was, I stayed up to watch the press conference after we were eliminated by the Bucks - I saw a bunch of guys on the team take blame and express regret about the season. NOTHING like that from Kyrie

(Doesn't include any of the stuff since he's left the team.)

I absolutely do not "hate" him in the real sense of the world. I'm sure he's a good guy, and I know he does good work. But Celtics fans have every reason to "sports hate" him - he's about as much a villain for a sports fandom as you can be.

Follow up question, if you don't know why the Celtics fans hate Irving... do you believe a team's fans ever have the right to hate a player?

I'm going to guess you don't if you're asking this. Players have been despised for far less.

It isn't like Irving doesn't hate the Boston fans right back and constantly mocks them and trash talks them.

Hi quit on the team in the playoffs, intentionally tanking their season.

I’m curious how big a fine he gets after today. Flipping off fans multiple times and telling a man to suck his dick.

To bad booing doesn't motivate him to play defense, eh?

What a class act the flat earth believing nutjob is.

Though he is just in a long line of thin skinned players who are too stupid to ignore fans

For a wise and all knowing zen master he surely seems to have the temperament of a frustrated teenager

[RB34]

Also, why do certain fanbases have to love certain players? Aren’t rivalry’s part of what being a fan is?

I mean, people have been loving Trae Young the villain. People at baseball games chanting “F*** Trae Young”

Is it only an issue when it’s the C’s?

I edited my post, he was responding to a man when he said suck my dick.

this is too good man

brown & tatum took em to game 7 vs Lebron, and Kyrie had one of the worst star performances in the play-offs ever the year after that

you're so blinded by your Kyrie-love, you must be a Prokorov burner

[Quattro]

The better question is how people can NOT hate Kyrie?

You can add flipping the fans the bird during the game today like the spoiled little brat that he is to all the stuff listed above.

Hey, it's 2022. His sexual preference is his own business.

[TheLand13]

He said he was gonna resign there at the begining of his last season. Might also be other things im not sure.

People, use a - please. Resign means quit or leave, and that’s what kyrie ended up doing…
