@OnMySooie@NBA__Courtside New age nba fans root for their favorite players, old fans are disgusted by the idea that you would leave your team for personal glory. New fans think it’s dumb that an athlete should be subjected to the whim of bad organizations
@OnMySooie@NBA__Courtside I think a lot of people like sports for their favorite teams and a lot of people like sports for their favorite athletes. NBA fans are split on this straight down the line, old heads vs young fans
@OnMySooie@NBA__Courtside Shohei left for the most money any athlete has ever been offered in the history of modern sports, and Gretzky did leave to rangers partially to win a cup, but that was after he was traded away from a team he wanted to retire with
@OnMySooie@NBA__Courtside I don’t disagree that lebron gets held to a different standard. However, these examples aren’t great. Manning and Clemens didn’t leave for a ring they were dropped by franchises they wanted to retire with.
@Lorikaos@sethmoulton Watching MAGA go from “aggressively pro democracy/freesom” to “pro Putin fascism” was not on my 2025 bingo card, but the funniest thing I’ve seen all year
