See, the key to intelligent fandom on this board is to understand that homerism is a debilitating disease, it's not just a mindset. Folks who gawk pointlessly at our Starphucque POTW have no real, true grasp of the reality of the situation.
"The Trade", as those in Somberalia like to refer to it [insert mild lip snarl with a bit of spit escaping while saying it] was a watershed moment in the wrong direction for this franchise. It's very simple.
Talking about the recent unpleasantness that our past 'future', potential-laden yoots have displayed is not a true barometer of just how effed over this team is [insert reference making any homer a default Dolan butt-tick and Straightshot groupie]. Only talking about the good things they did at any point in time while they were here, is what counts [insert logic that references the validity of mentioning Melo's past performances while with that other team].
