I don’t understand. Are we supposed to all/universally like everything that is “hugely successful?” Everyone has different criteria for what “success” is, for one thing. And then there’s still the matter of personal tastes. Thirdly, those three things are the ‘same.’ But, take Taylor Swift, for example. What does an “appreciation” mean? I will acknowledge that she’s hugely successful. Yet, I don’t like any of the music I’ve ever heard from her, which is not a lot, and I couldn’t identify more than one of her songs if I heard them blindly. Am I supposed to respect her because hundreds millions of other people like her? Doesn’t work that way.
Boeheim? A reasonable person can make pro- and con arguments on the merits of his career. And no matter where you fall on the spectrum of “appreciation,” it’s lunacy to assert that everyone else should feel the same way.
Wegmans. The one time I ever saw Boeheim other than on the Carrier Dome court in my four years was in the parking lot of Wegmans…..
