Dumpster Thread for "Raptor Fans Cheering" - keep all discussion here

[Middle Child]

Stop being a troll.

People are the same everywhere. Every fanbase has douche bags. There's nothing special about Raptors fans vs Celtics fans vs Jazz fans.

Remember when Jazz fans booed Derek Fisher for leaving to get his daughter better medical treatment? Remember how there have been racial slurs slung by different fanbases? Are those fanbases all scum? No.

**** people exist everywhere. Give me a break.

First of all watch how you talk to me. I’m not being a troll.

Utah is notoriously known for behavior like that.

People are not the same everywhere. What about Raps fans verbally attacking Steph’s mom?

You saying people are jerks everywhere is excusing this type of behavior. This exactly the issue with this world. No accountability.

What accountability. The people who did this should apologize. Toronto the 4th biggest city in the world

There’s dumbasses everywhere

I personally don’t care about being generalized because there actual ethic groups and religions who are generalized for much worse. Which should have bigger focus on world issues than this. it’s easier to judge a whole group of people based some of folks actions.

But like get off ur rightous horse. Nobody here needs to apologize for other grown folks actions

Did I ask you, or anyone, to apologize for their actions?

I said stop excusing it with the whole people are idiots everywhere thing. This about what Toronto fans did, stop bringing others into it.

Why are you bringing up world issues?

This is common decency, you do not celebrate another human beings pain. Period.

If you and the mod can’t grasp that then you’re probably happy he got hurt as well.

All that for a championship. Pathetic.

[GooniesNeverDie]

Honestly as a life long Raptors fan, this breaks my heart. Tradionally our fan base has been pretty small and generally modest/self depreciating considering we know the **** we've been through. It's not difficult to enjoy the game with some class. Just hoping all this negative media attention gets some people to reflect on their actions and be better in the future.

LMAO @ the Raptors fan base.

The only reason why the arena crowd cheered and yelled "KD KD KD" when he left was because their own Raptors players had to tell them not to celebrate KD going down.

You know who didn't get those instructions? The people outside in Jurassic Park. They kept celebrating like crazy and even continued to yell "F*ck KD F*ck KD"

Someone tell those Canadian immigrants that this is not Saudi Arabia anymore.

Wow, straight up racist. Congratulations.

yeah this is complete bull ****. I was all in for messing with and getting a rise out of Raptor fans about this issue because the backlash and responses on both ends have been hilarious to me, but once someone starts being a racist ass hole I have to draw the line. Now you have Americans in here being called Trump supporters for spreading fake videos and being racist and I have a hard time even getting mad at that.

As we've said all along, all it takes is one bad apple. Good job fellas.

[TdotRap4Lyfe]

All of the rude players portrayed in my opinion are bandwagoners. Raptors faithful know the hard times we've been through and are humbled by it. That's why I won't apologize for those fans.

[Quattro]

My personal take on this is that the people cheering were pathetic. I’ve been watching sports long enough in my life to know that you NEVER cheer when a player gets hurt no matter what the circumstances. Saying that nobody knew the extent of his injury is a cop out. If you’re in the arena you don’t cheer.

Conversely however, I wonder how many of the people who were and continue to be outraged at this were the same people who were slamming Durant for being soft or quitting on his team before he decided to play on Sunday. Those people all of a sudden being concerned with his health just screams phony.

The worst thing about this is that the guy clearly should have never been on the floor in this series. It defies logic that doctors wouldn’t be able to accurately gauge the risks of him playing. It’s the teams job to protect players from themselves. Clearly the Warriors failed badly in this regard.

I wish Durant a speedy and full recovery.

The difference in language being used is simple. Toronto fans didn't do verbally abuse Stephs mom, Raptors fans didn't cheer KD's injury.

What happened a few fans in Toronto acted stupidly and verbally abused Steph's mom. Toronto Fans or Fans in Toronto. The first lumps everyone in the same boat and they are not a reflection of all of us. Same with those that cheered KD's injury, it was a minority of idiots and the entire fanbase doesn't have to own their stupidity.

We're all on the same page, what those idiots did to Steph's mom was inexcusable and should be called out. Fans who actually cheered the injury should be called out. But Toronto Fans and Raptors Fans being lumped in one statement and generalization is just wrong.

[Cheating2Win]

Not a raptors fan but I was legit happy seeing him in pain and knowing he’s done for a year at least.

Well that just makes you a trash person doesn't it?
Getting enjoyment out of someone getting a career altering injury. I suppose when you've achieved nothing in life lashing out in frustration is going to happen.

[Sisqo]

People are not the same everywhere. Raptors fans are doing this. Majority of them. Did you see the reaction in “Jurassic Park” they acted like y’all won.

Downright disrespectful, scumbag behavior that should not be defended by you nor anyone. You want them to win that bad you’re celebrating an injury or defending those who celebrated it.

Fans didn’t cheer until they were told too, that’s crap they didn’t wanna do that. And here we thought that Canada was full of people with class and integrity. Intolerable behavior they showed at KD.

Stop being a troll.

"watch how you talk to me" . Lol dude relax its a forum, and in his defence you came across as a troll. if you didn't intend to be then its all good but drop the tough guy act online because any valid point you might make gets lost after comments like that.

No one is happy he ruptured his achilles, but at the time no one knew that either. This kind of injury isn't immediately obvious like a Gordon Hayward/Shaun Livingston/Paul George injury is where you see what's on the court, the guy is screaming in pain and a bone is literally sticking out. Nope. KD casually limping off and sat down...and grabbed his lower leg.

Initial reaction is as a fan of the team to the fact that player is leaving possibly for the rest of the quarter or perhaps game and that gives your team a chance to win. Straight up. It would have been the same response if he was ejected after picking up 2 techs. It had nothing to do with the fact that Kevin was hurt...it had everything to do that he was about to leave the game as someone who was giving the Warriors a chance to win...and Toronto fans are obviously desperate to win.

Kyle, an analyst in TSN for the tournament, was one of those not impressed by the unbridled American jubilation after goals.
"As a Canadian we would just never ever think of doing something like that ... For me it's disrespectful, it's disgraceful," Kyle, who retired in 2017 after winning 101 caps, said on air. "Hats off to Thailand for holding their head high."

Kyle subsequently said on social media that her comments had prompted death threats.

"To the people sending me death threats, let me set the record STRAIGHT!," she wrote on her verified Twitter account. "I never once said to never score as many goals as you can in a World Cup!!! PLEASE WATCH FULL SEGMENT! I said the exact opposite. IT'S THE WORLD CUP. You score as many as you can and don't take the foot off the gas pedal!

"I did say I thought it was excessive and disrespectful the goal celebrations of the American team once the score hit 8-0. Everyone is allowed their opinions towards my thoughts 100% but please leave the death threats!"

[killacalijatt]

so classless but can't blame them they have never felt winning.

Soccer isn’t hockey!

Lmao in all seriousness I am not a soccer person either and had the same thought. But, then I heard some interviews when I had ESPN on earlier and I get it. People dream their whole lives of scoring a World Cup goal. And when they finally do, they are supposed to not celebrate because of the score of the game? It’s literally a life long dream and goal (no pun attended) being achieved for some of these players.

[13th Man]

Just goes to show that unsportsman-like behaviour happens everywhere, even amongst athletes, who should be held to a higher standard.

This issue here is blown way out of proportion and there is a clear agenda here on RealGM against us Raptors fans.

Oh, I know you were going way off topic but I wanted to respond anyway since it’s an interesting discussion you brought up. And being on a message board, I like to discuss interesting things whether on topic or not. That’s kind of the point.

And since I really don’t feel like going back on topic because I have said everything I needed to say on this topic, I’ll just leave this here.

[everdiso]

Is there even one talking head taking raps fans to task for this like realgm is so desperately trying to do?

Thanks for chiming in. You are a soccer powerhouse and are thrashing another team. I'm not saying that you shouldn't' keep scoring but is over the top celebrations necessary after being up 10-0?

Even in grade school basketball we learned sportsmanship to ease off the other team of demolishing them. You stop the full-court presses you ease off the uncecessary pressure a little bit.

When you are the Goliath and are mandhandling the other team is it necessary to continue with the incessant jubiliation until the very end?

[tradejosehesux]

The GB is blowing this way out of proportion (shocking, I know) when you look at the coverage this is getting everywhere else (which is almost nothing)

So are you mad about running up the score or the celebrations? The quote you do seems to be about the celebrations, yet you mention both in your post.

The scoring is easy to defend since one of the tiebreakers in WC is goal differential. You run up that score if you could and feel great doing it! I already made my point on the celebration issue.

The celebration mostly, it was over the top even with the late goals. A lot of people thought it was unnecessary from the link below:

The difference is, when Draymond ‘injures’ a guy, Warriors fans don’t cheer.

You're right, because they're loading up to dish out some punishment themselves.

Watch on YouTube

That's not a fan. That's a part owner. Obviously he shouldn't be doing that either and he deserved his punishment, but let's not act like one idiot's actions are the same as thousands of Raptors fans cheering the injury of a great player. His career may never be the same again, but sure, let's cheer that he's hurt because we can't beat them with him on the floor.
