Lakers VS Slippers Discussion

I'm not sure at this point if you are intentionally trolling for responses or just don't read very carefully, but for now I'll assume it is the reading thing.

Let me explain for you what you missed in Cookie's post. She very clearly told you it was OK to hate the Suns. She did NOT tell you to stop posting "anti Suns". She never said what you say she said about posting about the Clippers.

What she did say was that it's not a good idea to join a new forum like you did here and immediately start lecturing the entire site membership about who they should hate more. The reason it's not a good idea is that it stirs up trouble with the people you are lecturing.

Maybe try reading the posts you are replying to a little more carefully before you reply.

 

We are cool and like I said earlier it’s not about whether you like the Suns or not, the dude word was not the issue. When members talk about you guys, it implies that we are not all on the same team, rooting for the same guys. We are all Laker fans here. We of course don’t all share the same opinions on everything and that’s fine. Feel free to share your opinions but try not to suggest we are some how less Laker fans then others. Now let’s all carry on and get back to talking Clippers/Suns.

 

It's not about laziness. It's about ratings. It's about clicks. They know most people won't remember their crazy takes, so they say whatever they can in order to get the ratings. No one wants to watch people talk about "slightly above average performance by an average player" or "slightly above average player has a star level game, but will be back to his slightly above average level next game." It's why every single NBA draft or NFL draft is "filled with top level talent" when they know full well most of the guys picked will be journeymen. But no one would get excited over listening to someone talk about guys that may or may not even be on the roster. The cable news networks, sports networks...they are competing with so many other avenues of entertainment that they must sensationalize every moment and every play in order to make people believe they are watching something special, so they in turn need to watch the analysis (i.e. ESPN) on that special moment.

 

See, that’s a problem, you’re trusting sources like Chris Broussard and ESPN. Those “sources” don’t know jack, they just yell on tv for a living. Also, as Cookie mentioned, referring to us as a collective hive mind will likely cause trouble, it creates a sort of narrative that everyone here is out to get you, when we aren’t. Terms like “Suns apologist” also aren’t good, because you’re insinuating that just because we don’t agree with you or dislike the Clippers more than the Suns that we are doing it in bad faith or something, when in reality it’s genuine and we all have our own reasons. Lastly, it’s just a game man, it’s not that serious.
