I agree with a lot of what you said. I think in today's society fans have become very fair weather, and in a lot of instances truly do not understand the game. I do disagree with part of it. I am a Philly fan, having spent most of my life there and now having lived in Los Angeles for almost 4 years. New York and Los Angeles are definitely great basketball towns, but I feel its pretty easy to sell out when you have 20 million people living near the arena. The fact that the "morons" cannot afford to go to the games is both a good and bad thing. It sometimes weeds out some of the bad element, but there are a lot of great fans that can no longer attend. It turns it into a corporate atmosphere. Like they are at a symphony. Thats why arenas are playing music and all the other dumb stuff they do during games because the people who attend largely are not basketball fans. Also, in L.A. they come by the 2nd quarter and leave in the 4th. Oh, and we boo in Philly all the time. Haha. The only other thing is, of course I know I'm Biased, but in Philly the attendance dropped the last few years significantly, but I do not see that as a sign as being poor fans. In a city like Philly which is very blue collar many people struggle to afford to go to the games, and if a team is not going to attempt to put something watchable out on the floor, why should they go? I respect that more than just showing up year after year so the team keeps making money and rasing prices even though they are crap. Maybe it will inject some life into the front office to actually try and win. Booing won't take money out of their pockets. Although I am huge fan of booing. I think there are great fans and idiot fans all over the country, either way I will never stop being a huge fan of all sports myself. Really dig this topic man. I agree with a lot of what you said.
