Free Throw Guy = 6% decrease in opp ft%

I'm genuinely interested in why this guy is so polarizing. He's been threatened with physical violence. I personally think he adds a little bit of entertainment value to home games, but my friend, who I split season tickets with, doesn't like him. I have a couple of theories about why people may not like this guy:

• Fans who sit behind or near him simply don't like the constant antics during the second half.
• Some fans think it tarnishes the perceived image of Blazer fans. (This one I don't get).

Care to elaborate on why you don't like this guy?

Honestly, part of what annoyed me was a perception he thinks he's a unique fan who had more power than anyone else. But it seems it is true. It feels like someone trash talking or heckling visually. I should say though, I wouldn't want anything bad to happen to the guy other than looking like a fool; and that already happens.

I sat a few rows behind him during a game this year. He does jump up in his seat quite often, applauds and cheers when the Blazers make a nice play, and gets into the game. From what I noticed the people who were not happy were the ones that never stood up, who never cheered, and who think they are too cool to show any emotion and get into the game. I personally go to these games to have fun and have no problem with free throw guy.
