Bulls fans boo Jerry Krause & make his widow cry at Ring of Honor ceremony

[beenz]

I didn't see the entire ceremony.

Was Reinsdorf there and if he was, did he receive the loudest boo of the night? If he didn't, that's bizarre, cuz 25 years after everything ended, fans still line his pockets and fill that arena 20K deep every night despite Reinsdorf always treating the Bulls even after their peak as 2nd best.

I'm sure reinsdorf was in the building, but he was NOT on the court during the ceremony.

I was there last night. neither me or my brother booed him. but we didn't him either.

Making widows cry. The Bulls fanbase are a bunch of Coli posters.

 

[jwinfield]

That Last Dance puff piece caused this. Embarrassing fanbase.

Well this is what happens when you put out a propaganda documentary that elevates one man while denigrating many of his teammates and the GM.

Nuance is lost and people are made out to be villains and all the good they did is forgotten

Yes, a documentary that came out a few years ago is why the name of someone that got booed 25 years ago got booed.

What a scumbag.

Nah they right on this one.

Many owners and GMs have been hated. That shyt dies away

This didn’t die bc 1- MJ took shots at him in his HOF speech. He did what 99% of time people in his position don’t do which is ‘punch down’. and 2- Disregaded him on Last Dance even after he was dead. He didnt take the high road at all. Which is his prerogative, but fans are absolutely doing this out of some deluded loyalty to MJ.

People are impressionable. This happened 20 years ago. An adult Bulls fan from that time would be at least 50 by now. That’s not who’s booing its likely younger folk influenced by the speech and by last dance

Lol @ 50, there are Bulls fans in their late 30s/early 40s that got to see the Bulls dynasty and subsequent breakup in real time and newsflash, that demo actually spends their bread to attend games. People who didn't experience shyt in real time gotta stop talking like they did, it's a plague on the internet.

Krause drafted grant,Armstrong,acquired pippen. Hired Tex winter before he hired Phil Jackson to name a few ,he made the key moves that got the bulls 6 championships & these doofy ass fans booing

Absolutely. And thats fair.

But you also gotta understand the fans who are mad that they didn't get the chance to defend the 98 chip because of Krause.

Give em a chance to defend their shyt, then if they can't, you blow it up.

Like the Warriors now, it's blowup time.

Yeah well was it just cause of Krause or Reinsdorf and Phil also? Putting it all one man when it wasn’t solely him is wack.

I actually agree with this 1000%. And I stand by 50

Bc there is a difference between simply being alive during the bulls dynasty vs being old enough to properly process it

I’m 40 years old. Yet that means at its absolute end, I was FOURTEEN

So if you on this site and were just ‘alive’ to witness Jordan, you still wasn’t old enough to properly process it. The same way you viewed things as a child shouldn’t be how you view it now. As a child we all hated Krause. Bc MJ could do no wrong. As an adult we see Jordan’s flaws and at least can respect Krause’ role and that who gives a shyt if he ended the dynasty a year early. You shouldn’t be a grown ass man still harboring feeling in that like you’re in middle school with posters on your wall grow the fukk up.

And, again, NONE of that even matters: you don’t boo a dead man.

 

[Playaz Eyez]

The Last Dance is the only reason that happened. It’s fresh on people’s minds. A lot of that arena was probably barely born from 92-98 to even know anything about that. Feel real bad for his wife.

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

Didn’t read

Of course you didn’t you faggitt… bytch ass nikkas like you don’t like facing the truth

Ownership/front office 100% didn't read the room.

And while Krause was a fukkboi thinking he was more important than what he was, he does deserve his ring of honor achievement. Wanting to honor him while everyone else was inducted wasn't wrong either. Introducing her first before announcing his name might have been a better move as everyone would've seen an elderly widow there and would've toned it done at the beginning. Still the crowd lightened up when they saw her and clapped accordingly.

I think ownership absolutely read the room and still went ahead with it so they can further put more blame on Krause for the 90s dynasty ending and alleviate blame from the Reinsdorfs. This is par for the course for wealthy whites and how they control the narrative...I watch Vince McMahon do this for years.

Damn this got me a lil emotional. That’s disgusting

This country really is morally bankrupt. And it’s funny bc …everybody thinks their justified as long as they ridin with groupthink.

Katt Williams mentions Rickey smiley’s dead son. It’s cool. Michael Jordan carries a rather silly grudge….we gon boo the dead man Nasty times

Shut your soft ass up
