Football is becoming how I perceive the NBA in some aspects. There is pretty much no player loyalty; players are looking to get paid and seem to care very little about who stumps up the money. Nothing wrong with that IMO, because owners have been using the players as commodities for ages. Players on opposing teams are, due to living in their own little bubble and social media, mostly friends so you have no real rivalries from the players' pov. You still have the fans though! In essence, you support a shirt; when a player wears the shirt you happen to like, then you love him. If he is traded and you don't think he is very good to begin with, then you are alright with it and don't hate on him too much. If he is actually really, really good though and WANTS to be traded, then he is now a cunt. It didn't use to be like that in football, but it has shifted towards this since the Bosman ruling and now we are pretty much at the same place.
