Utah Jazz Fans Have No Class!

I have been watching the whole Los Angeles Lakers Vs. The Utah Jazz NBA Playoffs Series and just want to vent my disgust with the Utah Jazz fans. If you are one of them who booo’s Derek Fisher constantly because he left The Jazz last year to go the L.A. should be smack straight across the face to knock some sense into and make you realize this is ONLY A GAME! THE NBA IS
NOT LIFE OR DEATH and that you should get a life! Utah Fans

If you are not fully aware of the situation I will fill you in. Last season Derek Fisher was the backup point guard for the Utah Jazz and a very critical piece to their success last year. Derek’s daughter was diagnosed with cancer of the eye. After last season He asked the Jazz front office to let him out of his contract so he could play for a city that had better doctors and specialists to help his daughter and make his life easier. The Jazz front office did just that and DESERVES a standing ovation for that decision. That is pure class on their part for letting him out of the contract. Too bad their fans are not cut of the same mold. Derek went on and signed a contract with the Los Angeles Lakers this past off-season teaming back up with the NBA MVP Kobe Bryant and Head Coach Phil Jackson where he won a few championships before.

During the regular season Derek went back to Utah for the first time since leaving and fans poured down with boo’s, Kobe Bryant took it personal as well letting the fans know about it during and after the game how disgusted he was. Now during the playoffs for games 3 and 4 during the pre-game introductions Derek was once again boo’ed and everytime he touched the ball he was boo’ed more so than anyone else except for maybe Kobe. The announcer Mike Tirico of ESPN played it off that he was being boo’ed just because he was on the opposing team. If that was the case whenever any Laker touched the ball like Lamar Odom, Luke Walton etc.. there would have been boo’s but there were not. It makes me sick to my stomach seeing stuff like this and how people can be so idiotic over something so meaningless when looking at the big picture of life. yea I admit when I watch the Buccaneers every sunday I scream at the TV, throw my remote but thats as far as it goes. Jazz fans have crossed the line. This is something that Philly fans would do but I won’t get into their stupidity today because I could literally write a novel about it.

When are fans going to realize these are still human beings not robots out there. They have the same priorities in life as you they have families like you they just are lucky to be able to make millions of dollars playing a game. So my message to Utah fans is GET A LIFE!!!!
