Serious Question - Why do you root for NBA players if you think they’re “soft” for load managing?

Seriously. Why are you a fan? I don’t get it. You think these guys are all lazy and have no interest in playing. Why are you watching this sport?

If a player gets hurt, you don’t care. You think it’s bad luck. But if a player load manages to be healthy for the playoffs and extend his career, you think he’s soft. SMH

    I don’t think they’re soft at all. If anything, it is the fans that are soft.

    If you are a real NBA fan, having a top player sit out a game because they just played 3 in 4 days or something is disappointing. But the guy who fills his place is also a fucking NBA player, one of the best in the world. You still get quality product. Only people I give a pass on being such bitches about this stuff are literal children, who of course look up to star players and it can ruin the whole experience to miss their favorite player.

    But the rest of you grown ass adults? Pretty sorry shit

    Why purchase a BMW if you don’t like the size of the cupholders?

    Load management is unnecessary and really sucks for fans, but that doesn’t mean I don’t still enjoy the sport tremendously.
