I think they're just disconnected goofy ass people. Mormons are mostly nice polite people but just look at how people from other uber religous areas of the world act. The ugly side is pretty ugly. Repression is bad folks.
Cult mentality with no filter and arena security to save them. I found a little pleasure how quick the Jazz fan who was insulting Westbrook back the **** up and sit down when Russ checked him. Safe space for people living out a fantasy.
yeah, I saw comments about that after the fact. I can’t listen to the guy honestly . . . kinda like Kellerman. I suspect the guy isn’t all there.
Theirs a good number of crappy fans with every team, i'm not sure why the media is singling Utah out.
Plenty of Mitt Romneys in H-town? You mean very rich, successful people who've never done anything to deserve being called a racist? Yes, you are right we do have a lot of those. We also have a lot of people in HTown who label people racists for no reason other than being white.
Shame on that guy. But equal shame on Fisher for exploiting his daughter's illness as a way to squirm his way out of Utah and back to the Lakers. Shame on the Fisher for messing with other player's wives. Shame on Fisher for plowing into Luis Scola on purpose. Basically, shame on Fisher for being one of the biggest d-bags in all of sports.
^^^^^ This. They've always been this way. Jazzholes. Don't forget their employees....."clock management"... From Larry Miller, to Sloan, Stockton, Malone, the fans, etc.....
utah's fan base does deserve its reputation - i've lived here since 97. they've historically been low IQ fans, simply passionate for their team. And that really hasnt changed. their local sportscasters attempt to sound informed with analysis, big data these days... and fans buy right into it because it's the first time they've seen any advanced stats - (more like JC denton stats), but you get what i'm saying, they think it's advanced. utahns are zombies - they simply hate the 'other' team - and that's why it's a tough place to play on the road (to their credit). On sunday i literally got dozens of curse laden texts from friends (jazzholes) who hate james harden... saying he's the worst, horrible for the league, etc... but in reality... they don't hate james, they fear him!! and that fear comes out as hate because they all know he's better than any player to ever don a jazz uniform.
You do realize that it has been reported numerous times by opposing players that Utah fans have hurled racial slurs at them? Here is an article by a writer from SLC where he takes their own fans to task for their behavior. This was written during the last series. https://www.sltrib.com/opinion/comm...sell-westbrook-is-right-about-some-jazz-fans/
F* anything NE as well.. especially Boston. Boston has to be the most racist city I have ever been to.
I like Utah as a state. It has incredible scenery great skiing and for the most part I’ve been treated well by people. The Jazz and their fans are another matter. As I said in another thread. The Rockets and Jazz hatred is deep and eternal and we should teach it to our young..
Well there is no pure given proof but I would find it an odd a fan would be racist given the team their rooting for is majority black players Regardless I’m sure their are some racist in Utah but I don’t think a handful of fans speak for all of them I think we can agree they are heckling fans and say some pretty crappy stuff compared to most fans Also your article didn’t mention anything about racist comments just the fans being asses Don’t get it twisted though Utah and their fans can get it I’m not devending their disgusting behavior just don’t think you should throw out “racist” at everything you don’t like spec to a whole fan base
