Weird self-identification with a basketball team going on there, see?

Don't you think that's a strange criticism? Isn't fandom all about identifying and investing part of yourself in a team?

He's...doing his job. He's an analyst. He does this with every team. How is he in the wrong?

Tell me who your classy fan base is, and I'll PM you every time they do such a chant. (If you think such a chant is immature, you'll be quite embarrassed by your own fans' behavior.)

But do kids/fans get flipped off by a national TV announcer all the time? Nope. I can recall it once: Charles Barkley last night.

Its not like he is the only one, even chuck swirsky has been ripping up the fans this week. Posting pictures of the stadium and saying stuff like "i didnt know the game started already" Its nothing new, Miami fans have a bad rep of not supporting their team. Not saying i agree or that everyone is doing it but to those few (ok not really a few) just quit bitching and prove them wrong.

Guarantee you I've been a fan of the Heat longer than you have of Magic. And that's because your team didn't even exist when myself and others started packing the Heat's house.

And in the national conscience, your team still doesn't exist ... except for discussions of "which real NBA franchise will be jacking Dwight Howard from the Magic in the next 12 months?"

So why don't you, your fat panicky coach, and whiny genius of a GM lay off on the smack talk for a little while there, huh champ?

Neither your team, your franchise, nor your fan base has ANYTHING on the Heat ... Or on two dozen other franchises, for that matter.

What went wrong with your life that your'e expending time posting about a team you have no stake in as a fan?

So sad. Really, I feel for you.

Even the biggest Heat-hater knows that pic is from well before or after a game. The Philly series you reference was at 102% capacity (that's right, people paid $100s just to stand in corridors the whole game without a seat).

I hope your life improves soon. Good luck.

You didn't hear them say **** you chuck? That's interesting.

I feel so badly for you that a handful of fans being 10 minutes late means something in your life. Have you tried reconnecting with your family or old friends? Or seeking out God?

I just can't imagine my own life getting so bad that I'd be posting snapshots of a crowd that I have no connection to. Good luck, my friend.

So, so sorry that a human life can be so empty that it devolves into attacking basketball fans you have no connection to or vested interest in.

For the record, the Heat were at 101% capacity this year. I know that Heat attendance really means something to you for some reason, so thought you might like to carry that fact around with you.

Best wishes in turning your life around, my friend.
