Warriors Fans Would Like to Speak to your Manager, Please...

Ouch!

 

Decent read.

Bay area people in general are already pretty tough to deal with, socially. All of the same LA-Kobe front-runners are now on the wagon, too. Then you give them a winning team with all of the over-saturated media coverage anyone could ever dream of. Their dreams of relevance through pseudo-social status are being achieved by living vicariously through their team.

They're just vapid people trying to claim some sort of elite status from their team attracting ring chasers and shimmying and saying passive aggressive things in every press conference.

The author's section about the team pricing out all of the actual local fans and then taking everything to San Francisco is a nice tiara on top of everything.

The Warriors are California Glory w**** culture personified.

Doubly sucks for the local diehard fans because they were a middling-to-enjoyable franchise until The Snake.

 

"... you can also look through a giant glass wall at the people who’ve bought giant box suites, a crowd of 31 poker-faced guys who all look precisely like Ed Helms. It’s kind of like watching basketball on TV, except you’re physically in the stadium, and if you yell a bunch of strangers frown at you instead of your spouse or children or pets.you can also look through a giant glass wall at the people who’ve bought giant box suites, a crowd of 31 poker-faced guys who all look precisely like Ed Helms.

So good. I like the Bay Area people unite the left and right and up and down and most NBA fans in just loathing them.
