I thought the idiocy and hatred for Bargnani was limited to losers on their computers - and we all spend tons of time analyzing our team, so the longer you're on the roster the more scrutiny you bring ... Jose? Anyone miss him with all these turnovers, and aimless offensive sets?
Anyway, to know that the sentiment towards him has gone that far saddens me.
Even a remote piece of a team in any city who has battled through rehab and pushed themselves back to game shape ... and now goes out to earn that big pay cheque ... what hometown boos them? Idiots.There's math, and everything else is debatable.

If you want to think half of the ACC are douchbags, you can, but it just makes for an angry existence, mistrust of people, and perhaps reading kaczyniski's manifesto. Or you can just accept it, and realize that fans are fans and they are all cool. Regardless of their thoughts on Derozan, booing, or pizza slices. It's just a game in the end, no need to guide your morality by it, or use it as an excuse to control others behavior.
Fans are fans. But they're not all cool.

just because you spent your own money on a pair of tight bikini briefs with the low rise backs that show off your plumber crack... doesn't mean its fine to walk by every open window in your house in the middle of the day for all your neighbors to see
sure, you spent your money on them... and you're in the house that you spent your money on... and you have a right to do it..
but the neighbors kids don't have to like seeing your jungle of pubes hanging out of your drawers while you stretch in the window drinking a coffee, just because you spent your money so you have a right to do whatever you want
you're still an inconsiderate dick... and your neighbors are well within their rights of common decency to point it out, despite the fact that you bought those underwears with your own hard earned money
Although your neighbors are well within their rights of common decency to complain that you exposed yourself while wearing bikini briefs, you too are within your rights to complain about neighbors peering into your home and infringing on your privacy, not to mention trespassing on private property. The moral of this story here is that the complaints are not necessarily within the normal boundaries of neighborly behavior.
On the other hand expressing your feelings towards participating teams/players during a sports event that you have paid money to attend is well within the normal boundaries of behavior at such an event. It's not as if you are offending another patron with a personal attack. Any cheers or obscenities directed towards the teams themselves are fair game.
I would add that if you had your jungle of pubes hanging out and you saw a child peering through your window, a quick thrust towards that child would be inappropriate, however stretching out while drinking a coffee is well within your right.your pal,

Look, I understand it's offensive to you that someone boos a player who may or may not deserve it. I also understand the perspective that this sucks. But they're within their right to do this. What else is there to do at a sports event, besides watch the game and express your opinion towards the teams/players?
What I'd be offended is if I had my child there and the person beside me is expressing himself with profanity and lewd gestures. To me that is offensive because I don't want my child learning those words or actions. On the hand there's still nothing I can do about this other than talk to security or give my child some earplugs.your pal,

Booing a basketball player, any basketball player, indicates you're taking basketball a little too seriously... angry existence, etc. Setting up a Twitter hashtag indicates you're taking basketball a little too seriously... mistrust of people, etc. Spending an inordinate amount of time trying to get a sports franchise to trade one player indicates you're taking basketball a little too seriously...
Fans are fans. But they're not all cool.

Well I always get a little weary of people who tell me how we should behave and what normal is.
Like I said earlier, the best solution to this is to go buy a ticket and do as you please, and tell all your right thinking friends to do the same.
I personally like the fact I can go to other venues and cheer for my team and boo for the home team. I don't feel I need to show my drivers license or residency to be called a douche. I would hope peoples scope of what we can and cant' do is a little wider.

Plus you really never know why people are there for the game to begin with. Could be that they're fans of the team, could be that they go there just to see a single player they've been following for years. Maybe they're dating one of the cheerleaders. Could be that they're stressed at work and chose a game to attend that they thought the Raptors had a good chance to win. Maybe they're on a date because they had intimacy issues and were afraid to take the girl out for dinner. Maybe they got stood up. Maybe they got stuck with a ticket during a Christmas gift exchange, tried their best to sell it and then decided to hell with it and attended the game. Maybe they're hockey fans who got stuck with some Raptors tickets when they bought a package of Leafs tickets.
Whatever the reason, each and every attendee has got a mind of their own with different motives for being at the game.
I think the key to take from this is whether or not it was a single fan booing Bargnani, or a whole bunch of them. I remember going to game where it was Raptors vs Orlando, we started falling behind (by a lot) and the fans started to do the F-U-V-C chant. Vince Carter was a New Jersey Net at the time. Was it stupid? Of course, but what are you gonna do? Personally, I joined in --- because it's fun.your pal,
