Maple Leafs discourse on their team social medias makes me lose brain cells because wdym they're first in their division and coming off a 5 game win streak & people are commenting that the top players are only in it for the money and have no drive, that particular players are useless and need to be traded asap, that they're a garbage team, that they'll never make it past the first round just because they lost one game.

Apparently because they are being payed handsomely the players must be mindless automatons who perform perfectly every night. It drives me absolutely nuts how quickly alleged fans will completely turn on their own team.

#i cannot understand how some people can't seem to comprehend that the players are still human who will have off days and make mistakes #regardless of their work ethic or drive or passion #it's not actual critiquing either it's basically just grown men cyberbullying other grown men #over a GAME #& they have a ton of people in the organization to critique and help them improve! have you ever heard of a coach!#it's like people want to assume the worst so when the leafs perform badly in the playoffs they aren't upset about it bc they see it coming #but they clearly are upset about it because they're commenting on the leafs own social media pages #& these losers never seem to realize how their own behaviour does actively make it harder for the players to perform #maybe some players will not want to play in Toronto because the pressure is so insane & the fanbase can be so toxic!#it really just is bullying #& those people think it's completely fine & warranted because they don't know the players personally & they're famous & rich #maybe try basic human decency for a change? & not letting yourself get super angry about a game?#& just the bad faith element of it all...#it makes it not fun! this is supposed to be entertainment!#stop assuming the worst #some of these people even assume the worst when things are going well! wdym jt is only playing well bc he knows his contract is almost up #isn't it more interesting & inspiring that someone legitimately improved through hard work & the power of the amulet #to the benefit of your team #let's bring back being a fan of your own team ok?#we are basically already doing that with the lb #(affectionate)#thank god for us!#toronto maple leafs #tml #leafs lb #my thoughts
