Chandler Parsons Is NOT Happy That Grizzlies Fans Boo'd Him After A Couple Missed Foul Shots10/19/2017
LBS- On Wednesday, Parsons came off the bench late in the first quarter and missed his first two shots, which were free throws. Fans could be heard booing him, and they did the same again in the second half when Parsons missed the first of three free throws after he was fouled shooting a 3-pointer.
Rather than taking the high road after the game, Parsons fired back at the fans...
Oh, come on Chandler. You don't think it makes ANY sense? Like, not even a little? I'm not much of a boo'r so I can't really speak to the exact legitimacy of each and every one. However, I can confidently argue that booing a wildly overpaid and incredibly under-available professional basketball player for missing consecutive foul shots is at least a smidge more logical than whining about harmless heckles while wearing a goddamn 'Death Row Records' t-shirt. Like, can we let Tupac rest in peace? Poor bastard was probably doing backflips in his (hypothetical) grave after hearing that someone who rep'd his label was bitching about mild criticism after failing when all eyez were on him. And I get it, Chandler Parsons is not to blame for giving himself a contract that was already a comical mistake the second it was offered. You're not gonna not sign a $94 million dollar deal when your lower body is as sturdy as that of a new born baby calf. However, when you take to social media and use that unearned money to charter more jets than you've made buckets, the fans that were hoping you'd provide something more than 33% percent shooting in 34 games might let their irritability get audible. Essentially what I am trying to say is that you can't be both injury prone and insufferable, and only one of things can be controlled. I am sympathetic to plight of the fragile athlete, as long as the fragile athlete is sympathetic to the plight of the annoyed fan that doesn't want to open up Instagram and see his steadily sidelined small forward jet setting around the world wearing a 1,000 watt smile and a model on each arm. Is it "tasteless" to boo a human being when the irony of him getting paid to miss free throws becomes overwhelming? Potentially. One thing that it most certainly is not, however, is hard to understand.
