OH PLEASE!!! this coming from a Pistons fan! that's just laughable!
I stole this post from "Laimbeer_4_Coach" on a Pistons message board...
"I had the opportunity to watch the webcast of the Spurs victory Parade from my home in Michigan using a San Antonio zipcode to gain access. To my suprise I heard some ignorant comments from your News Team covering the parade, that I found very ridiculas, saying and I quote, "Don't they have their parades on Woodward, That's not safe" "San Antonio did Detroit a favor, with all those Police cuts, it's not safe" HOW CLICHE and CLASSLESS!!! I'll have you know that Detroit is a historical sports town and has celebrated MANY...MANY championships over the last century. Your team just won a great hard fought series, show some class."
They apparantly made more stabs at Detroit fans, calling some of them hookers and such...

so can anyone who was wathcingthe webcasts actually verify this?
that sounds ridicules , but not really something I'd put past kens5 - they are pretty ignorant.
I watched on woai, ksat and FSW - I didn't hear anythign re ed.
What is up with all this "thin skin"? Everyone is so sensitive nowadays... sounds like a bunch of girls worried if they look fat in last years dress. Maybe we did do Detroit a favor... who knows how many people would have had their cars destroyed... insurance premiums going up... small business owners having their windows broken... endangering the lives of firefighters... people dying... mothers crying. We did the country a service by winning.
Oh wait. That's classless. My apologies.
With all the crap talked about Podunk san antonio… the soft spurs…. The *99… etc… so we take a few jabs in victory. People really need to get some self esteem.
sour grapes
Unfortunately it is true. The part about not being safe was borderline funny but when one of the guys said something about how good the reporters accomodations in Detroit's arena were, something along the line that they were right behind the seats with the most expensive s, I thought I heard wrong - but I'm afraid I didn't.
To be fair it stopped right after that and they didn't made any similar comments anymore - not too soon IMO.
The overall comentary of the parade was in my opinion pretty lame. It was better at the dome.
Submit a complaint to the powers that be.
Watch it here and see for yourself - I hope I'm the one that heard wrong:

Edit: never mind it seems the link is down.
Slomo, you were right--that's what they said. Totally classless. I wish I had been watching a different station.
hehe
Yet it was Spurs fans that were throwing rocks at the Pistons bus and shattering it's windows as it was about a mile away from the SBC center after game 7.What is up with all this "thin skin"?

Show me ONE time in recent (meaning post 1960s) history where there were riots.What is up with all this "thin skin"?

I lived in California in 89 and 90. The news was reporting all sorts of crap going on after Detroit won. I called some friends back here to ask wtf was up. The answer was "nothing." I searched the net looking for stories to back up all this rioting talk. I couldn't find a single one not related to race riots in the 60s.
LA in 2000 comes to mind
lol.
Piston fan telling Spur fan to celebrate with class......
Don't think SA needed to break out the "riot gear' for the Spurs fan.
So Detroit fan can STFU about that.
i agree calling detroit s and hookers on air is inappropriate.
but making rioting comments and saying we saved the police some work is all in good fun... you look fine in that dress honey, better than the day we met
Part of me says Piston fan has earned the rep. That wasn't just a few fans causing that crap against Indiana. There were seemingly hundreds of people acting like asses. You can't just chalk it up to one or two idiots.
I can't sat the same even about Lakers fans. Yeah... the riots in 2000 tore Figueroa up, but I don't think most of the rioters were people at the game. That's a really rough area of town with a lot of people who just don't give a and have nothing to lose.
Still, calling Detroit fans s is way overboard.
We're just jealous.
Our s are cheap.
calling Detroit fans s is way overboard.
lol....
I dunno, there was that one chick they showed in game 3.......
Dear Piston Fans,
FO. You went home with nothing.
Buh Buh Buh Buh Bye.
The "hookers" line went too far and I thought that was classless as well but everything else that was said was just poking fun. I even remember at the end of the Heat/Pistons Game 2 Barkley saying something like he was going to need his bulletproof vest when the TNT crew was about to go to Detroit for the Eastern Conference Finals
Detroit.
Who gives a what they think.
Christ...it sounds like your just looking for reasons to be upset.
I'm sure anyone can find something stupid another teams fans/newscasters, etc, etc..have done or said at anytime, anyday of the year. We could fill up this, and many other boards daily with such nonesense.
Get over it. And good luck next year.
Exactly. Why "look" for reasons to get upset? Isn't the fact you lost game 7 in the NBA finals enough of a reson to be upset?
