The Sacramento Kings franchise history is unfortunate. It’s interesting, but it’s mostly unfortunate. Unsteady. De’Aaron Fox explicitly had enough.
An mf is stability. It’s also very important. I am aware of this. Let’s get right to Fox’s statement:
“A f—ing list did not exist. My goal was to visit San Antonio. Many people are upset, accusing me of handcuffing the team. I mean, this is my job. I’m not here to assist you in assembling your team. I’m not going to simply follow their wishes.”
If it were those words alone, then I end at appreciating the honesty. If that were the only context to go by, then my final response is, “I get it. No one deserves to be miserable. If you have the opportunity to take charge of your own joy from a place that feels uncontrolled or unreliable, I cannot fault you for an attempted pursuit of it.”
Okay. I take one thing back. Some people deserve to be miserable, and many of them already are. But De’Aaron Fox shouldn’t be one of them.
Sacramento Kings fans shouldn’t qualify for Official Conscripted Misery Bearers either. For the last 15 years or so, that feels like the expectation. But I’ve been around the Lions for a long time. Repeated exposure to getting punched in the gut will have an effect on your emotional digestive system. Being a fan of a bad team, like a really big fan of a really bad team, does not do good things to one’s psyche.
