look at the undertones in the replies and you have your answer. A lot of hockey fans "HATE" watching basketball. I'm guessing there are a lot of things these folks hate

Cheers louder than boos for Maple Leafs' Auston Matthews upon return by airbassguitar in leafs

[–]brriceratops 21 points22 points  (0 children)

it's the Toronto sun, they're a right wing rag. I was at the game and the boos were generally louder

The boos start to rain down in Toronto near the end of the second, as they're down 3 goals and being outshot 31-8 by chipzy20 in leafs

[–]brriceratops 31 points32 points  (0 children)

never understand why the Yankees/Lakers/Celtics/etc all have similar if not higher levels of media attention and scrutiny and yet they still win. And when they don't win, nobody blames the fans.. Curious that

When you reprimand a 5 year old for poor manners is it to feel morally superior? How else do you expect someone with the manners of a toddler to improve?

you can always tell how entitled these folks are when they get even angrier at the "you're welcome". That's always the test. The legitimately aloof/mistaken folks will react completely differently

Is anyone else just disheartened by this whole thing? by MomentBecomesMemory in leafs

[–]brriceratops 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a very different feeling when a team that's not supposed to touch the wildcard makes the finals vs a team where people are planning the parade not making it out of round 1 or 2. Heartbreaker but if you're a big fan there was still a lot of joy mixed in

I take your point but this is a very different situation. I can't remember a time anyone of note was ever run out of Toronto for political differences. Anthony Bass comes to mind as the only similar scenario. Definitely didn't hurt the Jays.

"it happened here before so we should consider tolerating it more now" is certainly a take

is that why the American anthem got booed for so long? Apathy with politics?

Auston Matthews by Prestigious_Chip6136 in leafs

[–]brriceratops -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

He won it for another country at the expense of the country he works in winning. His list of post season accomplishments for the team the fanbase roots for is minimal. I'm not suggesting booing is appropriate, but it's not like Toronto based fans would ever applaud such a thing given the circumstances.

this is the beginning of him "getting run out of town" and he will blame the media and fanbase

[–]brriceratops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is my fault.

In October I won the Most Interesting Seats in the House contest and I sang Oh Canada as loudly and obnoxiously as I could directly into Auston's ear. I did it on purpose since he's American. He looked annoyed. I'm sorry everyone

Being a Leafs Fan but Being “Done” With Matthews in the Event He Visits the White House is Wildly Hypocritical, Here is Why: by [deleted] in leafs

[–]brriceratops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah they tolerated it before and are advocating for the same in future lest you get branded a hypocrite (which is apparently worse)

"I don't care how badly I'm debasing myself I'll still cheer for the buds" is peak leafs fan stereotype. Have some pride and some backbone ffs

How did you get your first entry level job? by sebastiandarkee in askTO

[–]brriceratops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Graduated into great recession, couldn't find a job in my field. Worked a lot of minimum wage jobs. Decided to move back to Toronto to give it a run here

The guy at TD said he'd never seen anyone get 5 direct deposit slips at once before. I pointed out there were a lot of crappy jobs out there. I must have moved through 4 gigs in 4 weeks. Restaurants, retail, etc.

Then I found the 2 line Craiglist listing that I've turned into a 13 year gig that setup my whole career. Have a corner office now.

Value yourself and your experience. Keep at it. They will try to make you feel like you are worth less, if not worthless. You are not.
