I feel awful for hayward....that leg break...

It's so funny to read this thread and see that this board has not changed since I left it a few years ago.

So many of you suffer from "LOOK AT ME! I'M A GOOD PERSON!" disease.

Sheesh. You all fall over yourselves to post your condolences to Hayward and then badmouth and attack anyone who dares say "Karma" or expresses any degree of happiness over what happened to Hayward.
And many of you have accused any such person as being a BAD PESRON and you've attacked them personally.

You are a bunch of fools!

Hey, if you genuinely feel bad for Hayward and want to express it, fine. But I would wager that most of you are just showing your need to be seen as a GOOD PERSON!
But why is any other opinion invalid? Because you get to decide what constitutes a GOOD PERSON?

I'll say it loud and with no apology: When I heard that Hayward broke his leg, I was very happy. In fact, just a few hours earlier, I wrote an email to a fellow jazz fan in a foreign country that I hoped Hayward and many other players in the NBA would get injured. Right now, I probably despise more players then I ever have at one time, and I've been following the NBA since the 80's.
Hayward screwed the jazz big time. When he left, he was dead to me. I hoped he would fail.

Now, my hope for his failure means ZILCH! I have no control over what happens to him, and NEITHER DO ANY OF YOU! Your well wishes for his welfare mean ZILCH.
Whether I am happy about his injury or sad about it has no bearing on anything.

Yea, I was on this board a few years ago and even met a few of you (not sure the people I met are still here) and I saw how many of you treated people who didn't measure up to your GOOD PERSON threshold.

I would say GET OVER YOURSELVES, but you won't.
I doubt I'll be posting on here much, but I couldn't resist this one.

Too bad, Hayward. Players who ditch the jazz tend to see their careers go kapoot! Enjoy your millions. And enjoy watching the season

oh, and I can't resist saying "LONG LIVE PRESIDENT TRUMP!"
 
I'm glad to see that Snyder and the Jazz players don't feel the same as a few of the people on this thread.

Snyder said he wasn’t watching when Hayward was injured, but within a minute, he got a text from his point guard Ricky Rubio about it.

“I turned the television on and I had an emotional reaction,” he said. “You feel awful for him, you really don’t know how to respond. I reached out to him and told him with every bone in my body I know he’ll overcome this. He hit me back after a little while and said, 'thanks coach.' I’m not his coach right now, but when you have a player and you become close to him, that relationship is always there. Everyone on our staff and players felt the same way.”

Joe Ingles was pretty close to Hayward and said he called him later in the evening.

“I wanted to reach out and make sure he was all right and let him know we’re thinking of him and hopefully he’s back out there as soon as he can,” Ingles said. “Obviously he was pretty down and disappointed, but he’ll work out what he needs to do to get back and no doubt he’ll be back better than before.”

So if the posters offering sympathy on this site are just doing it to be seen, what are the people loudly proclaiming how little they care doing?

I feel bad for him and wish him well, but millionaires with broken ankles are pretty far down my "pray for" list.
 
I would like to take this opportunity to send out my prayers to Nikola Mirotic. Apparently he was sent to the hospital after an altercation with Bobby Portis during practice.

Just thought I'd post this here since there seems to be so many people concerned for NBA player's welfare.

TBH, I'm a little surprised with all the concern for injury here that nobody else has mentioned this. With all the thoughtful, caring and loving people here, it strikes me as odd that it hasn't come up.

Weird.

:D Exactly.

We all post to be seen, for sure. It would be a boring world if everyone kept their opinions to themselves.

Maybe someday we will all be less angered by others' opinions. In the far distant future. Empathy is hard.

Oh, and my initial reaction on hearing about the Hayward injury was sympathy. Pretty sure that doesn't make me a better or worse person than anyone else.

I'm just grateful our team isn't injuring each other.

Glad our guys reached out to him... that's what friends do
 
Can I just point out that the thread about our very own Dante getting hurt and missing the season has 32 pages in more than 10 days but the thread about Hayward has 28 in less than 24 hours?

Jazz fans are certainly a nice bunch being so concerned about a former player who did us dirty but only moderately concerned about our very own 22-year old who has already had a season-ending injury in his short career.
