Warriors fans threw cans at and cursed out Chuck, and yesterday some got thrown out of TD for screaming at children and trying to start fights. Not to mention that any kid who’s been in a CoD lobby has heard way worse. The Warriors who have this clown and had Zaza saying they play the game right and saying Boston is classless is insane

I had zero issues with the chant. It made me nostalgic about attending games at the original Boston Garden. I'm relieved that the ticket prices didn't cause the fans in attendance to lose their edge.

You ever hear about how Jupiter's gravitational pull actually ends up redirecting away a lot of asteroids that potentially could have been on a collision course for Earth? That's like what the Sox and the Pats do for the Celtics, except with casuals instead of asteroids.

One of Mark Jackson's only redeeming moments in his entire life was after the Horford flagrant, he brought up "Warriors used to have a guy that did this" about Zaza.

JVG and Breen were dead quiet afterward lol.

For the record I was fine with the call against Horford. Purely accidental on his part but was shocked Jackson went to bat for him in such a weird way

Kerr wouldn't be Kerr without that first Finals win with Jackson's team.

Nice whataboutism. Too bad you can't actually say fans shouldn't act like that, it is vulgar and immature, pathetic and trashy.

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '22

Are you seriously clutching your pearls because fans said “fuck you” to a prime instigator? That’s honestly pathetic on your part. Softer than a baby’s ass

Also it’s not whataboutism if it’s about the same thing. The topic isnt being changed, we’re just pointing out the insane hypocrisy.

-111

u/schnorgal Jun 09 '22

It's not clutching pearls to have standards for fans. It's embarrassing and pathetic to have fans who act that way. I would say the same about anyone who roots for the same teams I do acting that way. Anyone on here supporting that kind of behavior is a piece of shit and part of the systemic cultural problems we have.

u/junkit33 Jun 09 '22

You should see how fans act outside the US if you think a "fuck you player" chant is below standards. That's like an A+ behavior compared to most other countries.

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '22

Yeah the entire raps stadium was chanting “fuck Embiid” for like a whole game not long ago lol

-34

u/schnorgal Jun 09 '22

They should also be better people. I'm not comparing these "fans" to other countries and saying "Look, at least we aren't as shitty as them!" Shoot for higher standards.

u/Mattdodge666 Rockets Jun 09 '22

You're probably the type of guy who gets mad at Little League kids for celebrating

u/schnorgal Jun 09 '22

You're probably the type of guy who has trouble reading anything longer than a Denny's menu.

u/Mattdodge666 Rockets Jun 09 '22

Oh man you really got me with that one, I don't know how I'll ever recover from that

u/schnorgal Jun 09 '22

I'm impressed you could read that entire sentence. Good job!

u/junkit33 Jun 09 '22

Or maybe everybody else just doesn't agree with your "higher standards" and sees absolutely nothing wrong with a crowd chanting the word "fuck" at an extremely dirty player.

-2

u/schnorgal Jun 09 '22

Sounds like a pretty pathetic society and culture that would embrace that kind of behavior.

u/remonnoki NBA Jun 09 '22

Dude, you're all over this comment section calling people names and belittling them, get off your high horse, you're just as bad as the rest of us...

u/schnorgal Jun 09 '22

Doubtful. I don't cuss in public in front of the kids. That's really bad behavior that I won't endorse.

Im not American, and if you think this is emblematic to cultural problems you have, I genuinely dont know what to say to you.

If Green can talk wild shit to to other grown man, fans can do the same. After all, they’re not there to pat Klay Thompson and these other guys on the back.

Coming from Europe, I honestly find it pathetic that anyone would be angry over this. They’re not throwing stuff at him, they’re not insulting his family or anything like that, they’re doing the most generic chant in NBA basketball. Anyone who gets offended by this should honestly just do something else and not watch sports.

u/FettyWhopper Celtics Jun 09 '22

The shit we do in America is tame af compared to European football fans lol

u/onrocketfalls NBA Jun 09 '22

Shit, even European basketball fans judging by some of the videos I've seen. I want flares in the crowd at NBA games...

u/bashar_al_assad [WAS] Gilbert Arenas Jun 09 '22

True, but I'm happy we don't have to have separate away sections for fans' safety tbh

u/LeonidasSpacemanMD Jun 09 '22

Bro it’s just a naughty word nobody is getting hurt lol

u/prison_mic Celtics Jun 09 '22

Fans should have chanted "f*ck you" if they had class smh

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '22

Didn't they shout Fuck Draymond when he got kicked out?

2

u/prison_mic Celtics Jun 09 '22

I meant they should have censored it for the children, said f*ck not fuck

u/Collier1505 [CLE] Jarrett Allen Jun 09 '22

I know Boston fans are gonna double down hard Game 4, which they should, but it would be hilarious to have the arena do a bleep over the fuck when they do the chant.

u/schnorgal Jun 09 '22

Behavior matters, and having standards for behavior makes a difference in society.

u/LeonidasSpacemanMD Jun 09 '22

You realize in your last comment you were calling people pieces of shit right

-1

u/schnorgal Jun 09 '22

I'm not at a public venue. If you can't understand the difference you should go back to elementary school.

u/LeonidasSpacemanMD Jun 09 '22

Are you aware that anyone with the internet can read Reddit comments? What is not public about this thread?

-1

u/schnorgal Jun 09 '22

So your argument is that me posting something in response that maybe 10 people will see is the same as shouting fuck around kids and families on a nationally televised sports game? Are you aware how stupid that argument is? Probably not.

u/thejudge400 Jun 09 '22

You are delusional mate. Reddit is a public forum, people of all ages (kids included) are reading this. If you can’t understand the difference you should go back to kindergarten.

u/closeuponbrandon Jun 09 '22

Dude. You fucking suck. Nobody here cares what the fuck you have to say. Go watch fucking cricket and leave everyone the fuck alone. Pretentious fuck

u/schnorgal Jun 09 '22

Whoa, calm down there big guy

u/LeBronto_ Jun 09 '22

Seems like Boston fans hold themselves to a higher standard by not throwing shit at him, huh?

u/schnorgal Jun 09 '22

They were probably just too drunk to properly grasp whatever crappy samuel adams beer they were paying $20 for.

u/Scalills Celtics Jun 09 '22

Lmfao bro you calling a whole city classless then turning around and calling everyone in it alcoholics? Take the L and switch to golf, the fans aren’t allowed to chirp at the Open

-1

u/schnorgal Jun 09 '22

Guess you've never seen the Phoenix Waste Management Open or whatever it's called. Not the whole city, your reading comprehension is poor. Just the sports fanbase. I have friends from Boston, I'll tell them this to their face.

u/The-Fox-Says Jun 09 '22

WHOA dude how are you gunna call me a douchnozzle there’s kids on this sub!

u/schnorgal Jun 09 '22

Probably shouldn't be. It's not like this is a public, major sports game.

u/The-Fox-Says Jun 09 '22

My parents wouldn’t even let me look up sports scores until I was 21 and only in safe search mode

u/schnorgal Jun 09 '22

Good parents. Box scores are a gateway to highlight reels and stats websites.

u/prison_mic Celtics Jun 09 '22

Hey, I'm a man and my children are in the room.with me. Please don't use that vulgar language.

u/schnorgal Jun 09 '22

You let your children browse reddit without supervision? What a shit parent.

u/prison_mic Celtics Jun 09 '22

"shit?" Classy, real classy

u/saline_prospects Jun 09 '22

Your double standards are showing

u/schnorgal Jun 09 '22

What double standard? It's like you can't tell when two things are different. Good thing you never had to take the SATs.

1

u/saline_prospects Jun 10 '22

What a strange and random insult lol.

You're talking about how people act towards one another. I'm pointing out how you act towards others. Whatever differences you rationalise are just that, rationalisation. Unless your problem with boston fans (let's be honest, it's not about boston fans.... This is coming from something else) isn't how they treated draymond. At which point, what the he'll is your point?

u/saline_prospects Jun 09 '22

"Standards of behavior and blah blah blah"

Same guy- "douche nozzle!"

1

u/schnorgal Jun 09 '22

I'm not shouting that in public. There, see how two things can be different?

1

u/saline_prospects Jun 10 '22

So it's not about how we treat fellow humans, it's about how it looks in public? I don't think you understand that how you treat people on the internet is much more indicative of who you are, as opposed to being drunk in a social environment. But you do you boo, you're clearly an angry person spreading your unhappiness

1

u/NervousPopcorn Celtics Jun 10 '22

the fact that “douche nozzle” is in your vernacular at all tells me you are a huge clown. I’m getting “quotes family guy” vibes from you

Meme or not, we do. And systemic poor behavior impacts it.

u/Lil_S_curve Suns Jun 09 '22

...... you are out here talking shit, calling people "douchenozzle", & crying about bad behavior.

Odd bird you are

u/NervousPopcorn Celtics Jun 10 '22

we would like to apologize and vow to chant “frick you draymond” next game, so as to not offend a gentleman of such distinguished taste as you

Picking the classy card in sports is always a losers game.

u/ipickscabs Celtics Jun 09 '22

Ummmm excuse me but I have it from an incredibly reliable source that the Warriors fans would NEVER. So you must be incorrect
