thenorthremembers Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 I expected this thread to be about homelessness and schizophrenia. Instead, just a basketball game. Toronto's problems are way beyond cheering injuries.
CoachT Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 keep in mind Raps just stole the ball and scored a basket which was part of the cheering .. I'm sure a few idiots were happy to see him hurt but not majority 10 minutes ago, thenorthremembers said: I expected this thread to be about homelessness and schizophrenia.

The population for Chicago and Toronto itself might be comparable. But Toronto has a massive surrounding urban area (GTA) which might technically be different municipalities, but is basically the same city. If you want to understand Torontos homeless situation you have to consider all of the GTA. We have our issues but it's nothing like what I'm reading about some American cities today.

Haha, I remember that day. I was in the bathroom at the Ralph when the news broke out about Brady. The whole bathroom erupted like we won the super bowl. As I recall, I was one of the guys leading the cheers. 1

I can’t speak to the homelessness issue, but Chicago’s total metro area population is about 50% larger than Toronto’s. 9.5M to about 6.2M.

GTA is insanely big and populated. There is a reason the widest and one of the busiest highways is here (401).
apuszczalowski Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 Maybe Bills fans should be offering to help Toronto fans with this? So it's deplorable to cheer when another teams player is injured in the game, but it's ok to start chants and cheer when the player is not an opponent that day and is Brady Beers should not be thrown into the field or playing surface after a bad call is made in a heated playoff game. Fans should only throw 'adult toys' on the field during regular season games after a regular play has completed Fans of all teams have idiots who give the franchises 'black eyes' for a few days because of dumb things they do (usually after spending the entire game drinking). It gets even worse in the playoffs and championship. In GS one of their investors/owners shoved a Raptors player when he ended up falling into the crowd. 1 1

I live 30 min away from Toronto At first I was inclined to think that but the cheering went on for far far to long to think that. There was plenty of time for anyone with a functioning brain to process what had happened long before the cheering stopped. Even if you account for the slower Canadian processing there was still time.
GoBills808 Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 https://streamable.com/y162d Raps fans outside JP after injury...Cousins confirmed fans inside building behaving similarly. Bad look.
Jauronimo Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 I'm still surprised at the behavior of Raptors fans. I have been to several major sporting events in Toronto over the years and I remember a mostly quiet and indifferent crowd. I don't remember any such behavior when Fitzpatrick got his chest caved in by London Fletcher. No one in Rogers Centre seemed happy when Stevie's hands broke and he put it on the ground against ATL. In fact, throughout the entire Toronto series I don't recall any cheering at all.

If i was in attendance for a potential Sabres cup clinching game, and a star player (who team x is having trouble performing without) goes down... my first reaction is cheering. Well your name shows you're a clown. Hockey fans are Neanderthals.

Raptors fans are trying to pass that off as an excuse. They were cheering well after the whistle.
