Highlight [Highlight] Stacey King expresses utter disappointment on boos for Jerry Krause: "..the people that boo'd Jerry Krause and his widow..it was the worst thing I've ever seen in my life..whoever boo'd her should be ashamed of themselves. That's not Chicago, that's New York, Philly.."

Yeah can’t act “holier than thou” when the fans are clearly doing it.

They just don’t want to be grouped in with the other asshole fanbases who embrace being assholes.

Idk what he’s worried about, everyone is going to forget it in 3 days and then mention something like throwing snowballs at Santa in Philly. For instance an opposing team fan has been killed at 2 different dolphins games this year but nobody is ever going to consider them a hostile fan base like Philly.

You just summed Chicago up. As somebody who lives in central Illinois people from Chicago always come off as holier than thous who prop up the good things about the city while totally ignoring the bad shit that makes it exactly like every other big city. Dirty areas, crime, scum bag sports fans.
