Reasons you dislike the Magic?

[PleezeBehave]

I've been a Magic fan for well over two decades now and I'm a bleed-blue, through thick-and-thin fan of that team. I've been through a few rebuilds, seen the team go from rather high altitudes to subterranian level.

On this board, the Magic get ridiculed a lot, made fun of, they suck and all that. I wanted to know if there is a main reason for it. I know all teams aren't without its fair share of dislike and there are haters for every single team in the league and some teams get a lot of it.. but I've been thinking...

Is the "hate", jokes or whatever dislike against the Magic on here because

a) The Orlando Magic as a franchise: it's history against your fav team, 26 year history of no championships, history of losing franchise players. You know, general, sensible reasons to dislike a team.

..or..

b) Jameerthefear / Ariza4three: Being rather obnoxious, backpaddling and contradicting himself, multi-accounts, trash talks and whatnot. You know, general, sensible reasons to dislike a poster.

I get that much of this "hate" or dislike I see in gamethreads or threads related to the Magic are jabs at the dude, but I just wanted to make a real enquiry to see if the Magic are really this disliked or if it's just dislike for a very active, not so popular poster.

So, let all your dislike for either option A or B flow.

Other than the 08 playoffs (although I figured Raps would lose) , no real reason to have anything against them.

I don't hate the Magic at all. Thank you for Shaq and we enjoyed hoisting up that LOB trophy in their building.

You're welcome.

[QuebecBaller]

For me it's history of losing franchise/good players

but if you can convince me the be a fan of your team, I will be (I don't have a favorite team since the Sonics moved to OKC)

[Asiantastic]

B).

Been living rent free in my head with his collection of anti-Kobe threads and Hentai.

:mad:

[IMObjective]

The answer is b. But he's toned it down a lot after the ban so haven't seen much magic hate lately. I actually like the magic as a franchise, the heat too, both have not been too shabby for such young franchises.

Why do they lose their best players in free agency? As a NYer, I dream of the days I could move to somewhere that it's warm all year long, and Orlando seems like an awesome place. But then again, that's probably more retirement talk than living in your 20s talk :oldlol: I guess going to Disneyworld can get old for partying 20 year olds.

I think it's mainly related to boneheaded FO of the past who weren't capable of building a sustainable, winning culture. The owner is willing to spend and the location of the franchise is very attractive (state tax and weather), but I think it's mainly the past FO's - luckily, our current FO seems to be much more focused and have a plan in place going forward.

Uh it's obviously B.

There's no other reason to dislike such a toothless franchise. They're just kind of there.

[Le Shaqtus]

I don't think there's any dislike for the Magic, I don't think people care either way. We're not a big name team or anything, there's no reason to dislike us.

Like the Hawks, they're not like super popular so no one dislikes them but they're fans on this board are pretty annoying so that doesn't help.

[Genaro]

I don't care about the Magic but because of Jameer I don't want them to be good either.

[AnaheimLakers24]

Op is jammer trying to figure out why we poke fun at him

No I'm not hah

[Fudge]

I like Oladipo, but I don't care for the rest of the team or franchise. They're just irrelevant to me.

Personally, I don't hate the Magic. I'm actually 3 hrs from Orlando, and they've always been an enjoyable team to watch. They've just had some bad luck during their peak years(Olajuwon and Kobe/Pau), along with some questionable FO decisions like getting rid of SVG. While they had Dwight, they were always in the playoffs and even kicked Cleveland out during LBJ's MVP season in 09 to make the Finals. As a fanbase, y'all are alright to me even with a certain someone being annoying af and even if the Lakers are always inexplicably taking your players away :lol :cheers:

[Mr. Jabbar]

its jameer, he talks shit about the lakers all the time, i mean not even foston fans are this hateful towards LA. his hentai fetish is just the icing on top of the cake

[NugzFan]

Definite b

Poor jameer. Quite the pathetic homer/troll.

[ralph_i_el]

I don't believe in magic

[outbreak]

Jameers gone over board abit, he's turned into clippersfan lite when it comes to inciting people against a fanbase.

I've got a nostalgic connection to the Magic because they were my favorite team as a child, until the Raptors inception. Penny was my fricken hero man.

[MARK HENSON]

there down 30 to thunder right now???????????????:coleman: :coleman: :coleman:

[COnDEMnED]

Can't hate on the Lakers personal talent pool. Jameer, who doesn't even live in Florida, on the other hand, is fair game. Anything to make him cry. http://http://i1370.photobucket.com/albums/ag241/Anonymous_camo/jameer4_zps46486443.jpg (http://s1370.photobucket.com/user/Anonymous_camo/media/jameer4_zps46486443.jpg.html)http://http://i1370.photobucket.com/albums/ag241/Anonymous_camo/Jameer1_zps303920be.jpg (http://s1370.photobucket.com/user/Anonymous_camo/media/Jameer1_zps303920be.jpg.html)http://http://i1370.photobucket.com/albums/ag241/Anonymous_camo/jameer3_zps2734be72.png (http://s1370.photobucket.com/user/Anonymous_camo/media/jameer3_zps2734be72.png.html)

[coin24]

I like the magic because they keep giving us talent.. They're so pathetic nobody wants to sign there:lol

Jameers just a sad little Virgin boy with too many alts and no life, he enjoys reading posts about him on here because it's the only thing that makes him feel relevant in life.

[They Won]

b) Jameerthefear / Ariza4three:

This is the only reason right now to hate them.

I'll go head and list these nugs:

I typically envision that everyone in Orlando is a white gangsta wanna be douche.

Dwight Howard made me hate the magic. Dude is such a bitch.

I liked when Gundy was the coach, but Dwight screwed all that up.

20 years ago, you guys were pretty cool tho.

I can tell you that's the opposite of true so take that off your list.
