This made national news last night.

Thoughts?
I will never for the life of me understand how Reinsdorf has allowed Krause to be his fall guy even after his death.

Anyone who blames Krause entirely for the breakup of the Bulls just doesn't get it. If Reinsdorf wanted everyone to have stayed- they would have.

Reinsdorf agreed to pay Phil Jackson a one year $6million dollar deal in his last season. The same time Boston gave Rick Pitino a 10yr/$70 million contract.

Lets face it- Reinsdorf has always been cheap and couldn't wait to break up the dynasty so he didn't have to pay for it.

I think the dynasty was on its last legs anyway, but whatever. Bottom line: **** Reinsdorf.

Jerry Krause should be booed. **** him. He doesn’t become a great guy by dying. Neither did Old Man Wirtz. Neither will Reinsdorf.

As far as his widow, the crowd wasn’t booing her. In fact, when they showed her, the crowd started *overwhelmingly* cheering her.

Crowd did nothing wrong. They were fine.

They booed Jerry BUT, if she was obviously distraught on the stadium screen and they kept it up, yes, they're hivemind ignorant sheep assholes. I guess some guys never stopped belittling their mom when she cheers at the wrong times during Bears games.
They didn’t. They started cheering when the video board showed her. The crowd knew what it was doing. Boo Krause, cheer his wife. Good for the crowd.

I'm not a Bulls fan (Huge MJ fan though) even though many of my friends were in the 80's/90's but i've seen all the 30 - 30's and every movie/tv show they did about those Bulls teams and how much the players hated Krause but the fans can go too far sometimes and for me this is too far.
way to far

This. The ire should be directed at Reinsdorf. He has held fans of two teams in this city hostage for decades. If you are a loyalist to Jerry, you get a job for life. If you go against him, he will burn you, no matter how much success you have had. He hates his fans and he openly treats them like peasants he looks down on. He would absolutely allow a widow to take the heat instead of himself. He's a miserable, rich cowardly curmudgeon. He makes the Mcaskey's seem likeable in comparison. **** him.

WTF are you talking about? The Bulls won 6.
25 years ago lmao. Haven’t made the playoffs since 2016/2017.

I was taking a more general approach to the thread in how ppl for some reason think we need to worship owners as royalty. Would I have booed her personally? Nah but idgaf.

Quit the grandstanding Bs

Worshipping owners as royalty? The Reinsdorf’s weren’t even there. This is about Krause’s widow. Are you high?

It’s called not being a trash person. Most people are decent enough to not boo dead people or their widows.

i am not against booing elderly people and the memory of their dead lover until they cry over a sports related grudge. in fact, i think maybe we should look at other chicago sports franchises with elderly women romping around the office, and consider running this back

For all we know Thelma could be a horrible person even worse than her dead hubby. Maybe someone in the crowd knows something we don't. Before I pass judgment on anyone I'd want to find out the facts.

@BaBaBlacksheep I noticed that you did a cringe on my post. What happened to due process? Last time I checked, the crowd at the bulls game is innocent until proven guilty. Also the burden of proof sorta lies on you if you're going to create a whole thread in the wrong forum to accuse and condemn.

Not trying to cause you a lot of drama here but maybe some self reflection is wise.

i think the trash people were the ones not booing. if there's one thing i hate in this world its holier than thou fence sitters. commit to something for once in your life. if you're that upset about an old leather shoe leaking a few tears then put on the mask and become a vigilante, but spare me with the moral high grounding until then, pal.

Seriously it's one thing to sit behind a monitor and call people classless for expressing their 1st amendment rights, but if you really want to do something about it, find put where they live and tell them how you feel right to their face. This country is becoming a sham.
