Some of you thunder fans need to learn how to act i was personally insulted and had stuff thrown at me all night friday night vulgar things were said to me

keep it classy thunder fans

Proof?

awesome.

I was there and saw none of that...I think this guy just made that up...

Like nothing would happen in LA if you wore a Thunder jersey.

Like nothing would happen in LA if you wore a Thunder jersey. Yeah, that would be a real target.

Kelly Ogle did a My 2 Cents on the topic of fan manners at Thunder games, and he implied there was some type of mechanism in place where you could text the section number of an offensive fan to a special number that would cause security to be dispatched. He said he saw it work quickly. Maybe it's mentioned in the programs for the game (if there is such a thing). If all else fails, email Kelly Ogle and ask him about it. :-)

Yeah, that would be a real target.

you're just going to throw this out "lil wayne"? It seems like you have some questions to answer about the validity of this. Of course OKC isn't perfect and I wouldn't be surprised if that happened. Just thought you might want to expound on this.

Don't wear a Laker jersey to our playoff games.

Simple 'nuff. Perhaps invest in a reversible OKC>LA jersey, you can blend in and still feel proud for wearing a Lakers jersey.

I've seen plenty of the reverse behavior from Laker fans, as far as rudeness and obnoxious comments about the Thunder go. I haven't had stuff thrown at me, but if I did, I'd text the number they tell you to and get security involved. If it happened during game six and you were gloating vocally, then I don't blame people for being rude. If you're from LA, or have been a Laker fan since you were too young to remember, then fine, wear your jersey in OKC and support your team. If you're a bandwagoner and you're from OKC, then its time to switch and support your city's team. I was a Mavs fan for years, but no longer. I'm not from Dallas and I see no reason to continue to support them. I support my city's team.

Wayne, you're living in OKC. We now have a team in OKC. You should no longer be supporting the LA team. I'd say the security guys should allow the Thunder fans to destroy any LA fans.

I was the one that threw the ice cream at you!

If this is how you intend to act, please stop supporting the local team. They don't need fans like you.

As a true Thunder fan and season ticket holder, I want to make it clear that 99.9% of Thunder fans do not approve of this action.

Thunder, if you wish to act like a moron, please refrain from presenting yourself as a Thunder Fan!

It's a ridiculous assertion that if you live in a certain market you should support that market's teams only. That being said, if you are an obnoxious fan of the visiting team, don't expect high fives from the locals when your team scores.

Tell ME about bandwagon fans! We have a mini-season ticket plan with the Texas Rangers, and I almost dread Yankee, Red Sox and White Sox games because of all the bandwagon fans who have obviously never been outside the borders of Tarrant, Dallas or Collin counties, let alone to NY, Boston or Chicago.

Troll thread?? Sore winner?? Hmmmm

i must admit to giving it to a couple of laker fans in game four. however, i used no foul language nor did i throw anything at them. about the worst thing i did was ask them why they would cheer for a rapist when kobe made a basket only to get the "it was all the womans fault" response. also, they were the ones who brought the banner and tried to get on television with it so they should have expected a response. i was far more proud of our fans during the playofffs when the laker fans were drowned out than i was during the first game they were here this season and you could hear them cheering loudly for their team. the good thing is that it seemed as if after the game, everyone got along as good citizens as they should.

By the way, I lived twenty years in Los Angeles and one thing that nobody had problems with is the fans being too rowdy. You usually didnt even realize they were there.

OMG right?

It was embarrassing to see how Thunder fans act. Throwing things, hillbilly insults, it was behavior I'd expect to see at a tractor-pull.

That's not the way you behave at an NBA game Oklahoma City!

Shame on you

WOW! These must have been isolated incidents. I was at both playoff games and didn't see anything close to the behavior either of you are describing.

And tractor-pulling hillbillies? Jeez, stephy, go straight for a stereotype?

Maybe next time we play in LA I can talk about the Lakers fans acting like a bunch of gang thugs. Just sayin'.

And tractor-pulling hillbillies? Jeez, stephy, go straight for a stereotype?

Don't put words in my mouth.

I said it was behavior I expected to see at a tractor pull.

I said the insults were hillbilly-ish.

At no time did I call anyone a "tractor-pulling hillbilly".

Just sayin'

So I guess I should attend a Raiders game wearing the visiting team's garb if I want to understand how well 'big city' fans treat visitors.

Gotcha.

Steph, taking your comments in this thread and a previous one where you seemed mortified that OKC would display its banjo chops to the world that you might be harboring a small bit of insecurity about your Oklahoma identity.

I say embrace your inner hillbilly.

It is pretty simple really - if you are a Lakers fan enjoy your victory in a low-profile kind of way while in OKC. In all honesty, if you are out making a spectacle of yourself expect someone to take offense to it. Just as much as you enjoy winning, there is probably someone that hates losing a lot more. 99.99% of the Thunder fans could probably take it stride, that 0.01% might beat the crap out of you.

Even if the Thunder assailant is caught – he’ll be out in 6 months, you might have to live the rest of your life with a few false teeth.

If this is how you intend to act, please stop supporting the local team. They don't need fans like you.

What's wrong with these guys? It was a joke! :LolLolLol

What's wrong with these guys? It was a joke! :LolLolLol

Put in more smilies so we know you are joking. :-P

After the game, I wanted to go out and overturn a few cars, but then I remembered they belong to my neighbors who I like, so I just opened another beer instead.

You mean this kind of classless?
Durant belongs with Thunder, and Thunder belong with Oklahoma - NBA - CBSSports.com Basketball (http://www.cbssports.com/nba/story/13336982/durant-belongs-with-thunder-and-thunder-belong-with-oklahoma?tag=pageRow;pageContainer)

i still think the thunder logo could have been designed much better. our team colors should be more sinister, something that really reflects turbulent oklahoma weather (hence the name "thunder")

something along the lines of black, purple and silver would have been awesome, along with a better font for our letters.

agree?

I actually like the blue, and red/orange, we definitely could have used a "gun metal" or dark gray color. The yellow kind of sucks, I'm a big fan of getting rid of that and subbing in either a dark gold, or some sort of gray. Our away jerseys look exactly like the knicks. I'd like to switch something up.


The logo sucks, but so do pretty much every other NBA logo out there. I mean have you seen the pacers, raptors, clippers, pistons, lakers, nets, or 76ers logos? They're all pretty vanilla and terrible in their own right.

Does anyone have a link to the a high quality video of the pre game intro video. I heard a lot of good things about it, and the history of Oklahoma and would really like to see it.

They'll all fall off the band wagon when Kobe leaves/retires in a few years.

Being a laker fan was the "cool" thing to do in the aughts (00's).

It is pretty simple really - if you are a Lakers fan enjoy your victory in a low-profile kind of way while in OKC.

Yeah, or ... root as proud and as loud for any team you want to root for. Because this is the United States of America and we are supposed to be free to do so, no matter where you live.

This does seem to be a major troll thread though, and some of you have eagerly taken the bait.

You're correct, just don't be surprised if someone knocks your teeth out. Your responsible for your own safety.

Like I said earlier, 99.99% of Thunder fans can take a loss in stride, that 0.01% might take a bat to your face. If that is a chance you are willing to take then by all means - celebrate as loud as you can to every Thunder fan you see.

if you guys think that me have stuff thrown at me my mother being called a whore me being called retarted and many more things all because i was cheering for the lakers then i feel bad for you

an to those of you saying im making it up i love okc why would i make up bad things about the city

grammar iz hard

OMG right?

That's not the way you behave at an NBA game Oklahoma City!

Shame on you

You were at the game? I've been to almost every NBA game in OKC since the Hornets first came. That's 150+ games. I've sat in Loud City and in the lower level. I've actually never seen anyone throwing anything, nor have I seen "hillbilly insults" being bandied about by anyone other than the visiting team's fans, to be perfectly honest. I'm assuming that was an isolated incident.

On a different forum, a person who went to the Lakers-Thunder game in LA described how terribly he was treated by Laker fans. Are we to assume they're Okies who moved to CA during the dustbowl days? You can take the hillbilly out of Oklahoma, but you can't take the hillbilly out of an Oklahoman?
It's not possible that someone who isn't from here could behave like that?

Or, is it possible that there are people who behave badly in every state in the Union? What a concept!

grammar iz hard
Must be... and he certainly isn't doing anything to dispel at least one of the accusations/insults hurled his direction.

You were at the game?

Yes

I agree. Let's not feed the troll.

im sorry if my grammar is perfect but i am typing wit a broken hand so that makes it a little difficult

and i am not trolling i made this thread in all seriousness and u guys are so hurt because its about u thunder fans you think im making it up

Lil Wayne, I'm not saying you've made this up. I'm just saying it's surely an isolated incident. I had four Laker fans sitting behind me at the 4th game, 2 next to me at the 3rd game. They were scattered around us and I did not hear one negative thing being said to them. However, game 6 was a pretty emotional game. If you were popping your Laker jersey or celebrating too loudly, there were probably people who got upset. I agree their behavior was not the best, but there were plenty of obnoxious Laker fans at all of the Thunder-Laker games I attended, not only the playoffs. Regardless of what happened, this is not behavior unique to Thunder fans or people from Oklahoma City. Poor behavior is present in pretty much every city I've attended games in.

I bet if you wear a Laker's jersey to a Boston Celtics home game everyone in the Boston Garden will treat you with the utmost respect. You have to use common sense sometimes at sporting events. Some people go out of their way to be obnoxious at the home team's arena. Most Oklahoma City fans I know are good natured when it comes to the other teams' fans. A few bad apples do not spoil the whole bunch. Obnoxious behavior at the Oakland Raider's home stadium will probably get you beat up. I have heard pro players say they are the scariest fans in pro football along with Philadelphia Eagles fans who once booed Santa Clause and threw snowballs at him.

Bigray in Ok

I remember back in the day when Nebraska fans were the worst in sports.

I can imagine that "lil" was asking for it too. I've yet to go to an event where the majority of fans at ANY sporting event in Oklahoma, don't respect the visiting fans. We may not like them, and the younger crowd might give them more crap, but OVERALL, it's a respectful relationship.

That is unless a person is egging everyone on. And "lil" LA shouldn't be proud at all at their victory. They were 1 point away from a game 7 against the #8 team. WE knew we had it in us, but LA never did...even the LA players respect OKC now. I'm sure we won't lose sleep over a OKC resident/LA fan getting a little heckling done to them....especially considering the tone of your posts here. They give a good insight into the personality.

OKC has some of the most classy fans out there sir. Don't think so? Why don't you go to a Portland/OKC game or walk around Seattle with a Thunder jersey...see what happens. Do the same thing in New Orleans (they're still pissed that they thought they were going to lose the team). Or NY/LA/etc. Our southern hospitatilty cannot be matched.

Poor behavior is present in pretty much every city I've attended games in.

So that makes it ok for OKC fans to act poorly?

That's a pretty sh!tty attitude.

That's a pretty sh!tty attitude.

Stephy,

I'm not sure what your deal is or what your motives are, but in going through multiple of your posts, it seems all you do is come on and take swipes at other members, or at OKC itself.

We get it. You think we're a backwards, hick, hillbilly, redneck town that is stuck in 1992. You nip at others for saying "why post when you are not contributing anything to this thread," when I can pretty much say the same for many of your own contributions (the delusion piece was a real winner).

If you don't like OKC, then I'm going to tell you what others have told me bc of my own left-leaning politics, do yourSELF the favor and find a city that is more suitable to your tastes. I'd personally move to Cali or Portland, Ore in a heartbeat if I could afford the same standard of living, but that's not feasible, so I stay here, contribute in a POSITIVE manner and do what I can to help forward this city achieve positive progress.

Otherwise, look around, be thankful for what opportunities there ARE here, and come to these boards ready to offer something productive and not just whine and put others down. You might even try getting involved and trying to become part of the SOLUTION to the outcomes you seek instead of sitting around and just complaining about them.

so much hatred in this thread.

Or you could just put me on ignore. I'm not going to change my posting habits just to suit you FritterGirl.

I do think this is a hillbilly, ass-backwards city and I'd leave in a flash if I wasn't obligated to help out my family while my mother is getting treatments at Cancer Care Associates.

I understand that having a differing opinion than the herd mentality and posting how you truly feel isn't welcome on this forum, but I'll be damned if I'm going to cater to your whims FritterGirl and change myself just to appease you.

I saw horrible Thunder Fan actions at and outside the Ford center during that last game and apparently so did the OP. Sue me for stating my opinion.

There's a big difference between having differing opinions and entering into civil discussion about said opinions and leaving shirty comments just for the sake of leaving shirty comments, and I'm not just talking THIS thread.

If sniping at others is what makes you happy, then carry on.

P.S. I am sincerely sorry to hear about your mother. I have heard good things about CCA, so hope she is on her way to recovery.

if you guys think that me have stuff thrown at me my mother being called a whore me being called retarted and many more things all because i was cheering for the lakers then i feel bad for you

an to those of you saying im making it up i love okc why would i make up bad things about the city

LIL WAYNE, it was poor attitude for the people that treated you that way, and I am sure you deserve an apology from them. But I think what we are trying to drive home here is the fact that all 18,000 fans didn't behave that way, just a group of rude a$$-nuts that ruined your experience at the game.

OKC Thunder fans, and the rest of us, have created a standard and expecation by which Thunder fans should abide, but we forget that human nature supercedes any expectation. That is, there will always be hateful people and good people. That's the yen and the yang of human nature.

Really, I can blame the entire state of Oklahoma on my car getting broken into and vandalized 5 years ago in NW OKC. But that's not Oklahoma. It's life, both ugly and good. If you took those Thunder shirts off, put regular close on those people that were rude to you, and I will bet that at home, they are people you wouldn't want to know.

I don't think you're making it up, but as in anyplace in this world, $hit happens.

Stephy, it's not okay for anyone to act poorly anywhere, but they do. But holding OKC's feet to the fire doesn't change human nature. Your idea that everything and anything about OKC is hick and redneck is very judgemental, to say the least. Not to mention the term redneck is beginning to lose its credibility. It seems as though today's modern culture grabs every possible bad attribute associated with white people and shoves it into the redneck box. It's overkill. It's getting to the point where simply being white is automatically labeled redneck. I think America needs to sit back and really think about where it want's to go with this, because it's making criminals out of innocent people.

FritterGirl, it's good to see you wanting to contribute positively to Oklahoma City. It's what I want to see for our city. Kudos to you. It's very important to build on our successes. That's what moves a city forward.

Now you've got me curious. I just went thru stephy's last 20 or so posts and with the exception of her 1on1 fight with ronronnie, I didn't see much that equates to "leaving shirty comments just for the sake of leaving shirty comments"

I specifically remembered one of her posts praising 7deli which got me to give them a second chance....

I agree with her about the DT residents being delusional about a DT WF...

I reconsidered my feelings about the DT bike thing after a couple of her posts(but I still think it's a retarded idea)...

I completely agree with her attitude towards the plethora of "Walmart is evil! don't shop there! here's why!!!" threads...

yet none of your posts, with the exception of this one, have made me even take a second glance at a thread...

You're joking right?

90% of her posts are negative and incendiary.

Just look at her last post...speaking of "so much hate in this thread"

It must be OK for someone to trash the city, but anyone that calls a spade a spade is a hatemonger.

:rolleyes:

I don't think we're reading the same posts, fuzzytoad.

I was forced to move to Oklahoma City by circumstances beyond my control and was not happy to find myself here. However, I find the people here to be remarkably like people from other places I've lived. Political attitudes in general may be different than what I experienced in some of the other places I've lived, but they rarely affect my interactions.

This is a very friendly, laid back, down to earth place and, were there a beach on one side of Oklahoma City (ocean, that is), or a little bit better shopping, I'd think I was living in heaven on earth. I can't do anything about the beach, but I can talk up the need for more shopping.

I'm happy that I found my way here, regardless of the circumstances, and I learned a lot about making lemonade out of lemons in the process.

Whatever. I get it.

I've never posted anything positive.

My whole life revolves around getting negative reactions to posts on this forum.

I should leave Oklahoma or kill myself.

I'm the reason why young professionals don't come to OKC.

You can all stop sending me PMs now.

I don't send anyone PMs unless they send me one first, and I haven't received one from you. I would agree that it's not really the business of members of this forum to say anything privately to other members that they're not willing to say publicly. Just my opinion.

I've never sent a PM, but your presence here just doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

You're clearly free to express your opinion about this place....but, why?

You sought out a community message board with mostly Oklahoma enthusiasts just to call us rednecks, hicks, uneducated, unhealthy, poor, decrepit, petulant, and boring. I mean if this satisfies some sort of superiority complex with you then fine, but when you come to a place like this online and fling insults don't use that as some kind of affirmation that the people here are mean. Hell, some of what you say may or may not be true but it doesn't need to be said.

If someones dad is a drunk I dont pick him out of a crowd and go out of my way to belittle him because his dad hits the bottle too often. It's just mean spirited.

But a lot of what you say isn't even steeped in fact, it's just not.

I'm a educated, athletic, well traveled 26 year old that's lived in 5 major cities for at least 3 months each and in Washington DC for over a year, I love Oklahoma and I love the people here. Clearly this place has a long way to go but we dont need anyone to come here and tell us that, or worse exacerbate that. You can find the bad in any major city, Seattle is under a cloud for 6 months, the crime in DC and the mean spirit of the people living there, the brutal hot summers in Atlanta and the very real presence of organized hate groups, smog in Houston and rich corrupt oil tycoons, vanity and inflated prices in LA.

So some Thunder fans were rude, well from experience, for every one rude thunder fan out there, there are 500 good hearted Thunder fans right behind them. Things are affordable here, and people take care of one another here. Things may happen slow, but that's something I like. You dont get a chance to catch your breath in DC, and I'm not a fan of dropping 15 dollars for a makers mark and coke in Seattle.

The bottom line is, it's OK to be critical, but if you dont have anything good to say most of the time just dont come here. It's a waste of everyones time and energy and it breeds an atmosphere of unwelcome that really isn't needed.

I keep forgetting how many self-righteous, judgmental pricks there are on this forum...

If you thought that was bad then you should never go to an event where the "hatred" is out in the open, like sitting in the "wrong end" of The Cotton Bowl during the OU-Texas game, going to a Yankees-Red Sox game wearing the visiting teams stuff, wearing Dallas Cowboys stuff to a game in Philly, etc. I am sure what happened in the Ford Center that night was rather tame compared to what goes on at many other venues.
