Apparently Crowder has been getting a ton of death threats recently from people. Wow.
I really wish these were taken as seriously as if I sent a letter to the president threatening his life. It wouldn't take Facebook 5 minutes to tell you exactly who sent that message via Insta. But the authorities are not going to ask, and people get so many of these every day, there aren't enough law enforcement personnel to stay on top of it.AmareIsGod wrote: ↑Wed Jan 27, 2021 10:56 amPhoenix Suns forward Jae Crowder on his response to death threats, his role in lineup

I didn't realize there were Suns fans that were this fanatical. The fanbase always strikes me as pretty tame. I would expect this to be a story from Utah, Philly, NY, LA, or Chicago.

Why is he even getting death threats? I guess I missed that part of the story.AmareIsGod wrote: ↑Wed Jan 27, 2021 12:41 pmThere's a lot of idiots out there. It's insane.

Phoenix has a lot of asshole bigots. I think it has more to do with that than fandom.INFORMER wrote: ↑Wed Jan 27, 2021 1:27 pmI didn't realize there were Suns fans that were this fanatical.

What exactly caused these people to threaten Jae Crowder specifically? Is there something about him or his behavior in particular that upsets them? If it's out of racism, why do they target him rather than the many other black players on our team?Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Wed Jan 27, 2021 2:24 pmPhoenix has a lot of asshole bigots.

The article made is sound like it was because of his play, which is why I was confused by Superbone's response.Mori Chu wrote: ↑Wed Jan 27, 2021 3:59 pmWhat exactly caused these people to threaten Jae Crowder specifically?

Agreed. Thanks go out to the posters and the moderators. It probably helps that many of us have been talking to each other about Suns basketball for 20 years or more.
Why would it be racial though? Someone has a problem with Jae Crowder's blackness, but is cool with James Jones, Monty Williams, DeAndre Ayton, Jevon Carter, Langston Galloway, Cameron Johnson, Mikal Bridges, Chris Paul, Damian Jones, Devin Booker, Cameron Payne, and E'Twan Moore?
This. I read the article twice and missed the pet that said it was racially motivated both times. Nice conclusion to jump to though.INFORMER wrote: ↑Wed Jan 27, 2021 5:21 pmWhy would it be racial though?

Good news.
It is amazing what humans are capable of saying behind the comfort of their keyboards when not talking to another human being face-to-face.
