No but it's making an irrelevant point and attempting to redirect the conversation from the actions of the large amount of people cheering on his injury. You don't have to explicitly say an action is good to defend that action, you can do that just fine by redirecting the conversation.

I'm an Eagles fan, you'll never catch me defending the Eagles fanbase as a whole though because they're pretty vile fans. You apparently need to get yourself out that same tribalism. Being a fan of the team that doesn't agree with the way they reacted should make you care even more about how they acted.



I'm not a fan of either team. My intention is to stop fanbase bashing because it's not representative of the fans on these boards. The people that your words are targeting.

It's very much relevant and in context. Bashing the fans who are on these boards, that did not cheer and showed genuine concern, that's what I call irrelevant.

No one on here said "RealGM's Raptors fans are terrible people" and you'd be pressed to act like they did. If they did it was towards the end of the thread and probably after the concentrated effort of Raps fans (and non Raps fans that like defending **** people like yourself) attempting to misdirect the conversation. A thread that should be full of people talking about how terrible those fans are is now a thread of people saying they're horrible and people like you going for the gold in mental gymnastics.

I see where you're going with this, but if Nets/Knicks fans had any reason to be heated at someone it would be the Warriors, not Raptors :lol:

Well that's not basketball and they don't have an NBA team at all in KC. Either way Chiefs fans are known for being some of the worst fans in the NFL so you're not helping yourself here.




Where are you getting this information from. Goes to show you aren’t very intellegent

The Chiefs were literally named the worst NFL fanbase by a whole ass Harvard Study like 2 years ago. :rofl:

No one is doing this? A lot of people are doing this but it doesn't mean i'm redirecting for pointing it out. I have not defended a single scumbag and i've now told you that about 10 times, I know your smarter than this.. I swear I even said I agree those people are scumbags, its like you are so worked up you don't even bother to read what i'm writing, I haven't redirected **** either I even called them out myself. Why don't you read the whole post instead of over reacting.. Man chill a little

What is this post then? Are we discussing the fans being **** or another topic? Now why exactly are we discussing this other topic? Answer those and tell me you're not attempting to misdirect the conversation.


Ohhhhhhh I get it, we have to discuss ONLY the fans being **** and not the comments being made about the whole fan base because it doesn't support your argument. I get it. You need to learn that having a discussion about something sometimes means talking about the whole situation and not just the parts that support what you are saying... Context and perspective are important things. I said many times Im not misdirecting because i agree with you on some of your points yet you choose to ignore that part of my post.

no sense in trying to have a discussion with someone who doesn't understand the basics of how a discussion works. Ill let you just threat this as your dumping ground for your opinion and lack of understanding how to have a civil conversation. Cheers.

Take 5 minutes and go back and read all of the comments on the various threads from last night. You might get a idea of what some people are talking about. You keep saying this yet there is dozens of posts saying exactly what you claim no one said. You ignore them or don't care find out if they exist or not because it doesn't support your opinion.

As a Knicks fan I never thought twice about the KD to NY rumors until his injury. A healthy star going to NY in the FA is a pipedream. A star coming off an achilles tear going to NY makes perfect sense.

Find me a post talking about all Raptors fans. You're just being obtuse and pretending people calling out "raptors fans" mean "every single last raptors fan" because it allows you to defend them.

I don't feel the need to go copy and paste them since you can easily find them if you want. Plus even if i did you would twist it and make up some other bull. there is a pattern to how you try and discuss things and its clearly a waste of time.

And for the last time i'm not defending a single one of them.. That is your only argument and it's not even valid, you have even quoted me previously where I have called out those fans for being idiots. Clearly you are either a troll or don't really want to discuss since you keep bringing up i'm redirecting even after I try to go back to discussing the topic you think i'm redirecting from.

You are. I'm willing to bet you're one of those people who sees someone saying "men are trash" on twitter and responds with "not all men".

And I love how these posts totally exist but you won't get them. Nice dodge. I mean I'd just admit those fans are garbage and I shouldn't defend them at this point if I were you but do you bro.

At least you're honest about it! I can appreciate you owning your position and not deviating from it unlike the other raps fans in the arena who had to be shamed into applauding KD.

Lol you just proved my point. You have run out of things to say so you are trying to go the direction of childish insults. Man grow up.

I clearly said the fans who cheered are idiots, you choose to ignore that and focus on me saying it wasn't all of them even though that was in direct response to someone else who said it was all. You ignore all facts and context and choose to pick out only the thing you want to be outraged over. You are a shining example of a SJW on his high horse trying to show how much better he is than the people around him.

So you think that all of Raptors and NYK fans here who together have more posts and members than all other combined, are any different than representation of the fans of these two teams in general population? They are not! Go to our board and you will find plenty of idiotic statements ALWAYS. But, thankfully we are not all the same and you cannot disregard statements like "Raptors fans are trash". In that context they are as trash as Knicks fans, or any other team's fans.

How about this, because I don't want you to feel like I'm singling Raptor fans out...last night, Toronto's fanbase made a solid shift towards the hallowed ground that is currently occupied by Philadelphia and Boston fans in the realm of pro sports.
