Homerism is never a good thing
Nope
Yet still a zillion times better than haterism. I read a post by a particularly enthusiastic Knick fan who may be high on Kool aid and it causes no negative effects on anyone. I read post after post criticising every player, every game, every aspect of the team regardless of how they're doing and drains some of the enjoyment out of following the team.
Not sure what's wrong with homerism on a website dedicated to that team who's slogan is 'pure knicks love'...
Hate that is not accurate is he same as fables. Both take great liberties and stretch the truth.
its a thin line between love and hate...........
The truth will found on the court, not sold as propaganda!
True Nalod let's take a step back though....The Celtics were playing the Clippers not us right? So if homerism is a good anecdote why would we be taking issue with a Celtic announcer backing his team playing a game he's calling regardless of what's taking place in the game?
Now if it was against us I could see how it could be a little more edgy under the skin type of thing but it's not only a franchise he's employed by, not only a game he's actually calling, he actually played for the franchise and won Chips there. HOFer of that franchise, what else would anyone expect especially when TH has been doing this since before he was born?
Still I don't care if it's the Celtics/Knicks/Heat/Clippers/Hornets, homerism in a color commentating world particularly cheats actual factuals.
Like I was rooting for the Ravens yesterday in the SB huge fan of that team but I saw some questionable stuff in the game yesterday. At least 2 legit non called pass interferences. It's okay to want the home team to win but not without completely earning/deserving it.
