why do celtic fans hate kyrie so much?

[DarkAzcura]

take away all the academics, students, etc that are there due to the concentration of university systems you just got a northern redneck city with the highest number of racists north of the mason dixie line.

As a minority from the Boston area, you clearly know crap about Boston.

Also, lol at the logic of ‘take away a large segment of the population and see what’s left!’

People that hate other people they don't even know are weird.

[Theocy]

so the celtics fans are never allowed to dislike a player?

they can dislike whoever they like. but the original question was why celtics fans have this much disdaine and vitriol (not merely dislike) towards kyrie so much. and my answer is because boston is a city of racist ****. and yes kyrie obviously makes it easy to dislike him,

do you have any evidence that they hate him because he’s black? i mean they seem to love all their other black players. then there’s one that treats them like crap and they hate him and that just automatically makes them racist? most of the nba is black players. so anytime a fan base hates a player greatly it’s racism?

Holy **** i mean people can be really stupid with the racism claims. So Tatum, Brown are out little black ballers but when it comes to Kyrie that’s a bad black dude right ?

Kyrie is a moron. Not necessarily a bad person just a huge **** moron who knows he is a moron, is being called out for being one and doubles down on his moronic approach thinking he will eventually break through.

I’ve read articles about boston and weird cultural issues, i know racism is still a thing, celtics fans are obviously butt hurt about this and perhaps a bit over attached to Kyrie and making him feel pain, the booiing is most likely crossing a line and it’s not really classy but kyrie is a **** moron. An uneducated rich lad who has no game other than his basketball game.

there's quite a few nba athletes that have had incidents with boston fans that involved racism. kyrie, marcus smart, john salley. not just the NBA either. It has happened in baseball, hockey. a simple google search will reveal alot of news on it. furthermore, boston the city has an ugly history of racism that extends beyond professional sports.

i mean they seem to love all their other black players.

right, until they do something they don't like. nba players disappointing fan bases isn't new or that uncommon; kyrie did it to cleveland too. the level of vitriol from specifically boston fans is what we're talking about here.

then there’s one that treats them like crap and they hate him and that just automatically makes them racist? most of the nba is black players.

i mean... this is kinda like, "i have black friends so i can't possibly be racist"

so anytime a fan base hates a player greatly it’s racism?

no

then maybe you should learn more about the history of your city and the pattern of individual and systemic racism that boston is afflicted with. it's much bigger than sports and seeps into public schools, housing, etc. racial relations is a nuanced and complex discussion that goes way beyond than just boston votes democrat so it can't be racist, but surely you know that.

I know this history of the city. Do you know the history of the country? Singling out Boston as uniquely different than other places to the point of being considered ‘redneck’ despite the voting tendencies being the opposite of rednecks is inflammatory and disrespectful to an entire region.

This country has a race a problem. Let’s not pretend Boston is worse than other northern cities, I’ve experienced racism in NYC than Boston for example. I’m not going to generalize the area.

Please stop derailing the topic. This topic isn't about the city of Boston or racism. If anyone wants to discuss racism, use the current affairs. here.

There are various posts in this topic that explain why Celtics fans dislike Kyrie.

The reasons presented would make any fanbase in the league dislike the player.

Apparently even Cavs fans have issues.

Read on Twitter

This is a sports board, we've known Kyrie forever and it's reasonable to assume that Boston fans don't hate him because he is black... since pretty much every other fanbase would react the same way. Every fanbase has players they hate. It's normal in sports.

[Eyeamok]

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?

Lucky is like a son to Danny. LOL. Danny kissed him on he lips !! It's a drawing on the floor. Opposing players step on lucky all the time. They slide across lucky ass first. come on Danny this can't be real.

[srhcan]

yeah he promised the fans he would re-sign in a speech at like the beginning of the year

He actually tried to recruit KD for Celtics. But KD want nothing to do with Boston and instead went to Nets together

Kyrie looked at that fan in the eyes. And the fan realized he was not about that life.

I said northern rednecks. excuse me for my creative and metaphorical use of language.

i think boston is doing a good job of singling itself out with repeated incidents of racist fans in all major professional sports... there's a reason why boston is known as the most racist northern city amongst minorities (and they have moved out in droves to get away from it) and minority professional athletes.

this country does have a race problem, but let's not play whataboutism here, boston is clearly leading that problem in the context of racist fans.

edit: looks like i got boston fans triggered. you can keep pretending you don't have that reputation and the reputation isn't deserved. i'll take my warning and gtfo.

I’m a minority. You are basically trying to tell me how to think. I actually have the life experience to tell you that you are wrong in your inflammatory opinions. You don’t really understand what whataboutism is either apparently. Pretty normal, trying to tell minorities how they should think, though. I’m used to that irony. Good on you.

EDIT: just saw Dirk’s post. Sorry, Dirk. Hopefully didn’t break a rule there.

[Ambrose]

Because they were so adamant he wasn't going to be a problem in Boston like he was in Cleveland, he was, and then he ditched them after promising to stay. They're scorned and learned their lesson.

[bamheat]

There is also that time Kyrie had the protein shake farts and wore the Celtics own mascot uniform for 30 min before the game. The mascot guy damn near fainted from the smell. You can see the mascot take the head off the uniform multiple times during the game.

Pretty **** up.

[islanders11040]

I don’t think it’s “so much”. Just ur average superstar leaving a team reaction. It’s growing since Kyrie has been leaning into it and it becomes a topic of convo which fans the flames.

[JoeyLightYears]

*Because he's a delusional, selfish egomaniac that literally does not care about anyone but himself and his personal image of himself. *He NEVER accepts responsibility for his actions- he always has an excuse. And his excuse is usually that us mere plebs don't understand him, because he's smarter than everyone, in every room.
*He thinks because he's really good at basketball that he's some how a gifted genius off the court who sees things on a higher level than most 'sheep'.
*Because he's a spoilt brat and has been his whole life-like many professional athletes and kids who come from wealthy, privileged homes like he did.
*He also has guilt issues that probably arise from his privileged upbringing. He loves playing the race/minority card, but his life and growing up with a rich dad meant he's never had to struggle in his youth with poverty and real systematic/poverty born racism like most of his NBA peers- so he tries to compensate for it to deflect and excuse his sh*%*ty behavior.
*He's a turd of a human. Everything you don't want your kids to become when they grow up.

Narcissists are either worshipped or hated. Kyrie is like Kanye-- he just thinks he's better than everyone else and that's a very unlikeable quality for those that disagree. His basketball skill in not really debatable (although his accolades don't exactly match his delusions), but basketball isn't everything and in every other public aspect he comes across like a spoiled know it all whose **** doesn't stink.

The first time I’ve ever agreed with Nick Wright

[Slax]

He actually tried to recruit KD for Celtics. But KD want nothing to do with Boston and instead went to Nets together

There is video of him telling Durant the two of them should team up in Brooklyn during the 2019 all star game when the Celtics were still in the middle of the season and gearing up for a playoff run. I'm over it, obviously the situation in Boston ended up being a bad fit for both him and us in the end and so it's better for everyone that he parted ways, but let's not pretend he was super jazzed to be in Boston and only ended up in Brooklyn because KD forced his hand. He tolerated Boston for two years because it wasn't Cleveland.
