The horrible booing at the announcement of Jerry Krause’s name at the Chicago Bulls Rings of Honor has the internet abuzz with reactions. Among those voices, Bulls announcer Stacey King stood out. While he defended Krause and expressed his opinion on the horrible gesture by fans, King also brought two other franchise fans Philadelphia and New York into the conversation. He expressed that Chicago fans were better than this and “unlike” the fans in cities like New York and Philadelphia. However, that ended up drawing criticism from one of the Philadelphia 76ers fans.

Taking offense, the fan commented, “I think I just watched the fans in CHICAGO boo a former GM who won 6 championships and his widowed wife. Throwing other cities under the bus is lame af. Just another member of the media trying to paint Philly in a poor light.”

Instead of softening his stance, Stacey doubled down, sharing a message to lecture the offended fan. “Let it go my guy it’s over!  If you’re not one of those fans that give the team that you support a bad rap from their behavior then keep it moving because I’m not talking about you!”

King wrote, “I’m talking about the fans that we saw last night in Chicago and the fans that do it in other cities as well like Philadelphia, NYC, and other cities so let’s please stop acting like everyone in your fan base are angels & saints because you know damn well they’re not!!! Have a great night.”
