First off, I said I don't care if people like my sport(s) OR watch my sport(s) so don't dwell on the second part only. I do think hockey players are generally tougher than basketball players but that wasn't my point either nor do I really care about debating that. I really, really dislike Derick Rose (I live in Chicago) and this story helped bring those feelings and anger back up. A lot of times on forums people go on slight tangents and personally, I think that is okay. Maybe you shouldn't try to find hidden meanings and agendas in what people write because often times you'll be wrong like you are this time.
