I take a lot of flack for my constant abuse of Arizona sports fans and finally I have a qualified, recognizable name that is in agreement with me. Phoenix Suns Coach Mike D'Antoni came out strong against Suns fans for their lack of enthusiasm at home games following the Suns victory last night over the Knicks.
Now, although I am a fan of Cleveland sports through and through, I support all of the area's teams as my NL or Western Conference favorites. And I have fun doing so. Phoenix sports are at an all-time high with every team playing at a great level and with each having gorgeous facilities.
My constant abuse is not because of hatred for the teams, but to serve as a wake up call to the millions of locals in this market. Yes locals! The city has been around long enough for locals to have great-grandparents, so it's about time to stop using the transplant fan excuse. There are millions of locals who are from here and live here.
I'll stop writing now, as I could go on forever on this subject. Instead, I'll let Coach D'Antoni do the griping. Click the link below for the full story:
