    Hey @tinman, as a venerable 99er, do you look back on the origins of Clutchfans as ClutchCity 97 with any fondness? Or is 99 the year in your mind?

    Surely the flashing ClutchCity 97 logo is as burned in your memory as it is mine? I recall it was a real tight-knit community back then, lots of goodwill, no calling anyone fake fans etc. Of course that was before the YOF army shook things up. Before then the only Player-Only-Fan was Clutch himself, with his obsession with all things Mario Elie. Good times, good times.

    is there even a Bulls fan site?

    Do they even have trolls from China or Tmac fans ?
    How the hell did thousands of Lin trolls pop up here?

    It's because this place is the purest place and everyone has heard of it, good or evil

    and they know this place stands for good because it was established in 99 that the original population represented a true fan base with pure intentions

    Don’t you see what’s happening to the world ?



    The spread of the fake story that the rockets couldn’t handle Michael Jordan is worse than any virus I know, the disrespect for clutch city is pandemic
    Ebola level
