So you guys are just agreeing with it? Next time you wear one of your jerseys I'm going to come up with a reason why you shouldn't be allowed to.
I can hear them spitting on the rebels. Fucking unamericans. Talking about how they love freedom and shit like this happens. That's a joke we don't live in a free country if this is happening.
People need to grow the fuck up as well. It's a fucking athlete not some god.
If it was just one or two people in a little room and someone came in wearing the Lebron jersey, it likely wouldn't have been an issue, except maybe a half-sarcastic grumble about it.
But what we had there was mob mentality. The whole 'herd instinct' thing. Collective fear stimulates herd instinct, and tends to produce ferocity toward those who are not regarded as members of the herd, hence that fan.
I said 'fear'. They pretty much know they are screwed out of big wins in the near future without their star player who turned his back on them.
Add alcohol consumption onto it, and you get what we had there.
Rationality had little part. The more people there are, the less brain people use.
Oh, and there's no such thing as 100% freedom. Considering that those people also had the freedom to give their opinion, as low-brow as they were.
BUT, they did not have the freedom to throw things or make death threats.
I agree, it's just an athelete, not a god. People take sports wayyy to seriously. I've felt that way since I was a kid.
...Then again, I was never a very good athelete...
