Why Are Athletes Such Jerks to the fans?

now this is every sport so don't get me wrong.
I look at the nice guys in the league like the darius Miles's and the andre millers or the elton Brands and think that these guys like to give back to the fans.
THen you got the jerks like rasheed wallace who smoke pot and don't give a damn about the fans.
And i ask where would these so called stars be if Joe Man over in the corner didn't buy his 15 dollar Upper bowl ticket to see your sorry self play from a distance?
and all they do is blow fans off and talk about how they love the game, people Like KG Make me sick....
Because they think that there 2 good for these fans!
and in The NFL Guys like warren sapp! this guy Flung a freaking sharpie in the air when some lady asked for a picture! wow warren it was to much right? oh you want me to take more of my time! isnt the time on the field good enough!?
So unappreicative, its a business they always say and all this... Well hey where does this business get its funding from? The fans!~

then what sheed? who supports your drug habit? Or KG?
its amazing when you think your to good to sign your name... you get tired of it? DEAL WITH IT...
wow im sure your jobs alot harder than everyone elses right? Oh no you got to worry about Hand Cramps or pulled muscles? what about firefighters or policemen? THey worry about buildings collapsing on them or being shot...
wich is why it sickens me when you see these players ignore fans and charge 100 bucks for there signature or write them through the mail and they send you to a web site where you can purchase there memorabilia!
why cant we have more darius miles's and elton Brands or Jermaine Oneals? Or Darrell armstrong? Who i have never in my life seen turn down an autograph!
thats why the nba loses fans... thats why baseballs struggling...Thats why the majority of people dont come to games because these guys are overpaid Jerks who could care less if your there... wich is funny when you see KG Raising his hand to his ear like i cant hear you? Hey KG your used 2 not hearing fans right? same with other stars...
sickening...

Alot have a God complex...they see themselves above the game. I think as time goes on, alot of the young guys will be close to the fans. Remember, alot of todays young players grew up collecting sports stuff and trying to get their favorite players autos as kids. So when a young fan approaches them, they remember how much it mean to that person, and how hard it can be to get a signature. There will always be jerks, those who don't sign because its not in there multi-million dollar contracts.

One question Nas: how good is TMac with fans? Just curious, I really don't know

EspinosaSosa · May 17, 2003 8:56AM

actually KG is a great signer

Nas · May 17, 2003 9:00AM

don't even go there espinsosa... he only signed that cause it was at his basketball camp you paid to go to...

oh and tmac is ok away from orlando, you can't get him to stop his car like most of the team does after shootarounds, but i guess thats mac for ya...
