Chicago Fans Are So Sick Of Losing That They're Bringing Old Ladies To Tears By Booing Them To Their Face

Last night, there was apparently a Bulls game. I didn't know that because I haven't watched a Bulls game start to finish since Derrick Rose was manning point for them. Obsessing over 2 Jerry Reinsdorf ran organizations isn't good for one's heart. 

Whatever though. Sometime in the middle of the game, Thelma Krause, the wife of the late Jerry Krause, was thrown on the jumbotron and when that happened, that poor old lady was met with an UNMERCIFUL amount of boos: 

If you have no idea why she's getting boo'd, it's because she's the wife of the Jerry Krause, the Bulls' GM of the 1990s that both assembled (and disassembled!!) the MJ dynasty teams. 

The latter part is what Chicago hates Krause for. They could have gone for rings 7, 8, 9, whatever… MJ and everyone whoever had anything to do with that team agreed - but Krause broke the team up and, in a lot of people's opinion, wanted to prove he could build another winner without MJ. 

Ummm… he failed. He failed BADLY. Ego got in his way big time. 

The Bulls have been a loser organization since then and a lot of people blame him for it. They've been mediocre at best, sans a few D-Rose years. I blame Reinsdorf, personally, as he admitted himself in The Last Dance that he didn't think it was "worth it" to go for 7. Tomato, tomahto though - Krause sucks, Jerry sucks, they all suck.

Doesn't mean we should take our hatred out on the dead guy's widow though. She didn't do anything. At least nothing that I'm aware of. I think Stacey King summed it up perfectly: 

It was classless and embarrassing for Chicago. That poor, poor old lady. Her stomach has to be absolutely wretching this morning and I hope there's a way we as Chicago fans can make it up to her with some group apology or something. 

Giphy Images.

This is what happens with Jerry Reinsdorf ran teams. They piss their fanbases off SO MUCH that our boiling point is showing the widows of GMs from 30+ years ago on the jumbotron. We are so easily triggered as a fanbase BECAUSE WE ARE THAT DISGUSTED WITH HOW YOU RUN THINGS that we will take out our anger and frustrations on some little old lady.

Think about that. That's how fed up we are. 

Does it make it right? Nope. Doesn't any make it less gross at all. But there's a reason for it, and it's because we're sick and fucking tired of losing and Jerry Reinsdorf ran clubs (2 of 4 of them in the city!!!) do that WAY TOO MUCH. Oh and how about this? How about you know your consumer base a little better? WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU THINK WAS GONNA HAPPEN WHEN MENTIONING JERRY KRAUSE' NAME TO A 20,000 BULLS FANS YOU GIGANTIC FUCKING RE….MORONS???

Booing was the ONLY THING THAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN!!! OF COURSE THEY WERE GOING TO BOO!!! They should have NEVER PUT HER IN THIS POSITION IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!! 

My god in heaven, Jerry Reinsdorf ran clubs do NOTHING FUCKING RIGHT. EVER. 

Fuck Jerry Reinsdorf forever and always.
