No1 knew he blew out his achilles initially and when they realized it was serious they showed their support. This is probably the most typical reaction in this situation, all this fake outrage is hilarious when more likely than not your fans have or would react in a similar manor.
I love this sentiment that every fan base would have done that. First, how can you make a claim like that? Second, how does it make it right?
Also, are you trying to tell me the fans are so dumb that they couldn't figure out how serious it was almost immediately? It was only the biggest news story in the series that KD was injured and finally came back while still injured. So the fans cheering and waving goodbye just wanted to say hi to him and cheer him to get up?
i never said it was right, and some fans were cheering and waving when he was walking off... but almost the rest of the arena was chanting "KD". No one at the time caught the severity of the injury at the moment, and yes most fan bases would react this way, why would you assume there is a certain way toronto fans act, its human nature.
Fan bases can act way differently. We know the cities or fan bases that have a reputation, and congrats because now Toronto has one. I still don't understand why you would cheer or be happy. I have never been happy or cheered when anyone has been hurt. That includes some athletes I really dislike, and this includes when I have had too much to drink.
Also, I understand it was a minority, but the defending of this minority that is rampant across these threads really shows the true colors. I would think the appropriate response would be something like, "This was embarrassing, and doesn't represent our fan base. Hopefully you don't judge our fan base by the rotten minority and we will prove we are better in the future." Not "Well every fanbase would have done the same thing." "Well ____ teams fans are worse, look at this video from a different sport and year." "Fake News". "They weren't cheering the injury, even though all the players could tell the crowd was cheering the injury."
