CBass1724 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Why is John Wall at a foosball game when he should be at the gym practicing his jumper? SMDGlasses Sarcasm for those playing at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosher Ham Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Oh my. Hahaha. I find it hilarious when people question my fandom. So what if he is a stinky cowboy fan...he still goes all out for the wizards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's simple, people grow up pulling for a team for a plethora of reasons, none that really should need an explanation. Doesn't matter if they grew up in DC and pulled for the Cowboys, Yankees, Penguins and Bulls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Excuses Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 It's a bit of a ****boy move really but whatever. I don't think John is too happy in DC and I don't blame him. Given the option, he would bolt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samy316 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 (edited) The only guy who could get away with this is LeBron. I remember before he bolted for Miami, he would show up to Indians games with a Yankee hat on (even went to a Yankees-Indians playoff game in Cleveland wearing a Yankees hat). But, I don't remember Cleveland fans booing him, you know, since he was getting his team back then to ECF's and NBA Finals on the regular (something Wall has yet to do). LeBron also never complained about the fans, or lack of support in Cleveland & Miami (something Wall HAS done). I hope later this fall or winter when the Verizon Center is packed with opposing fans for teams like the Celtics, Lakers, Knicks, Golden State, etc, that Wall remembers that he has no leg to stand on when those fans are chanting "DEEEFEEENNNSSSEEE" when the Wizards have the ball, or they Boo Wall at the free throw line late in a close game like last year's Lakers game.

You realize that for his job, it's playing basketball and wanting fan support for the team he plays for along with not wanting fans of other teams to take over the arena right? Football is not his job, he is just a regular fan, like everyone else. I'm sure he wouldn't have a problem if any Redskins player came out and said the same exact thing he did. Get away with it? He did get away with it. Do you think he really cares about what is posted about him on a Redskins forum board? Stop going to games, don't buy his jersey, etc. Still doesn't matter, he will get paid all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boss_Hogg Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I don't care what crap team Wall supports. But to whine and **** about the Verizon center being overrun with Cavs fans then turnaround and do this **** is ironic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 (edited) Lets not get it twisted. I don't think anyone has a problem with a Wall being a Cowboys fan (bless his heart). But like has been mentioned, that was HORRIBLE TIMING and no good could come from it. Hate to say it, but if he was planning on making it work in DC, he wouldn't of done that. That was a "no F's left to give" move right there. Edited September 19, 2016 by Renegade7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skin'emAlive Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 6 hours ago, Dont Taze Me Bro said: I read what you posted. He was upset about Wizard fans not supporting the team correct? That is his sport, his job and from what I gather from the collective in here (since I live in Charlotte and not the DMV) is that he is absolutely right about the fan support for the Wizards. It's apples to oranges imo. Him complaining about the lack of support for Wizards basketball and him wearing a Cowboys jersey to a Redskins game should be unrelated. I seriously doubt it is going to spark less attendance at Wizards games. That would be one of the weakest excuses to not go out and support the Wizards. He complained about people from the dmv coming to wizards games cheering for the opposing team and wearing their garb, and then goes to a redskins home game wearing cowboys gear on the field. That's not apples to oranges, it's the same apples in the same fruit basket. Yes that would be a weak excuse not to go to a game. But a better excuse would be " why should I go to a game full of players that have no interest in playing for this city, and have no issue with expressing that while losing year after year?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a better excuse would be " why should I go to a game full of players that have no interest in playing for this city, and have no issue with expressing that while losing year after year?" It is different. He plays basketball and wants the arena rocking with Wizards fans instead of fans of the other teams. That is his job, and lack of fan support and being over run by opposing teams fans takes away from the home court advantage. He want's the boost from Wizard fans, just like every other team wants the same from their fans. Him going to a game wearing a Cowboys jersey doesn't impact his job, so it is different. He's just a Cowboys fan going to FedEx to support the team he pulls for in football as a spectator. Name one athlete in any professional sport that doesn't want the local fans to come out and outnumber the visiting fans? They all want it, he said it and called the DMV out. Him going to the Redskins game wearing a Cowboy jersey does not directly impact his job. And I'm sure if any Redskins player said the same things he did or complained about what he did he would completely understand and respect that stance. Since it would be the same thing he said at his job. So by him wearing a Cowboys jersey at a Redskins game equates him having no interest in playing in DC? Him saying he wants the arena (his workplace) packed with Wiz fans instead of fans of opposing teams makes him a bad guy and one not interested in playing in DC? He signed a 5 year extension with the Wizards. You don't think he could have signed somewhere else and made the same money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skin'emAlive Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 At the time, John took the 5 year max. That was the most he could earn complemented by the most security. We are not on the same plane as these multi million dollar athletes. I don't personally get invited to walk the center field of the redskins prior to the game. Nor would I wear the opposing teams' colors should I have had that opportunity. I'm not going to waste my time arguing the same semantics again. The Washington Wizards fan base is primarily located in the dmv. So yea, there is a very high likelihood that many of his teams fans are redskins fans as well. Which means yea, something like this could affect him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamebreaker Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 (edited) I guess this happened when he still wanted to be here. Look, I'm not going to jump in his back and forth over this complete non-issue. I just think it's funny that he's either trolling the DC area or he's a terrible Cowboys fan. It's possibly both.

ksun247 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Wall can do what he wants, but he probably should have just went to the game without wearing the Cowboys Jersey. I still like him on the Wizards, but I'm a little salty that he wore that jersey to the game and the SKINS lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray-Ban Dan Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 (edited) Why is anyone surprised by this? This is a guy that was born and raised in Raleigh NC, in the heart of ACC country, where there were 3 schools (all within 10 miles of him) he could have attended. Yet spurned them all, to attend Kentucky. Wizard fans have every right to be upset with this, especially given his comments about opposing fans taking over Verizon. And what Cowboys fan takes a picture of himself in a Redskins jersey (or vice-versa). Along with being a hypocrite, he's a terrible fan.

Right, because Wall clearly owes it to UNC/Duke/NC State to attend. U know how recruiting works? Probably not. I think you're the same guy I talked about this before it, but as I mentioned in the pledge thread, fans take these things WAY more seriously than athletes. As long as he's out there giving his all for the Wizards, I couldn't care less who his favorite FOOTBALL team is. Irrelevant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjfootballer Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I'm a fan of both the Wizards and Redskins. Both teams suck. Wouldn't blame anyone who doesn't want to root for them. Hell, there are days that go by that I want to yell at my parents for giving birth to me in DC and sticking me with these horrible teams. It just doesn't matter at this point. If both became a perennial winning team, then the opposing jerseys go away. Real simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
