"c'mon papi, he's the best player in the Magic's put him in!" Dude those Arroyo fans at games annoyed the **** out of me and everyone else. I love the passion and support of true fans but they were not there for the Magic. One game I sat 1 row in front of about 6 teenage girls who until Arroyo was on the court were all on there phones ignoring the game. They werent even watching. But when Carlos subbed in, holy **** these girls screamed, kicked me in the back of the head and draped a huge PR flag over me and my buddies heads. That is annoying. You know I bet they went bananas well Arroyo got in, but the kicking part hmmmmmmmmm. When in 50 something years you had only 5 or 6 players from your country playing on the NBA you too would follow him everywhere. You are in the USA, you have like 100 options to follow a whole team always. Thats an absolute load of rubbish, if that was the case I would be a Bulls fan to cheer Deng on, quite frankly I dont care how he plays for the bulls I only care when he plays for the british team. Turk and Arroyo fans go crazy anytime those two were even remotely critisised. No player is perfect and as such if they play poorly they get called out on it, that goes for every magic player - Dwight included. If these 'player' fans dont care about the magic then they shouldnt be on these boards IMO. If they do, then by all means contribute to the board like some of the good Turkish posters do on here.

Natmayo 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2009 Well I think most in here know and can decipher the idiots and for the most part, they are now harrassing the Toronto board. For people that put such a premium on pride, they have very little integrity. I pity them actually, so sad that you have to go from place to place bashing and acting like they do. Sad lives. Go Magic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is your season over as well? It's a team game for a reason. You grow up in a country full of people who play a particular sport on the worlds biggest stage, so it makes sense that you don't grasp their allegiance to a particular player. How many Turkish players are there in the league? How many Puerto Rican players? It's a big deal to have only a couple of players from your country make to the NBA and represent your nation.
