that is one of the best, most well thought out and presented posts (on any topic) I've read on these boards.  Specifically as to as the situation here it concisely but comprehensively sums up the reality of a somewhat complicated situation.

You break it down very well, thank you for taking the time to "put to paper" the best post that captures the situation for most of the avid fans as well as the average casual fan.  I hang a lot here and at games with the avid fan like myself and to pick a number out of the air, I'd say 75% of the fans feel the way as you write.

Most of my "regular" life surrounded by the average casual fan who doesn't live it like us and the feedback I'm getting is that it's a 100% of them, at least in my small sample size world, well they feel as you write.   Some are down right angry which is what I found at a large family gathering yesterday for the hoops game.  That surprised me a bit the level of anger.

This because I'm more dissappointed and not really angry.  Dissappointed for the reason you laid out so well, that he's just another guy in this selfish world saying one thing while doing another.  Which is frankly worse and more dissappointing than your average self absorbed narcissist as at least you know what you're dealing with with that type.  The worst is someone who says to live one way, embody this noble approach to life, and then does just the opposite with his actions.

That's it in a nutshell.  I didn't think anyone could capture better the feelings of so many of us here and in the community to warrant another post on it, but yours was great and you should consider sending it in to the newspaper as a letter to the editor.  I hope you stick around and chime on on other issues around here.
