Sports fans aren’t known for being rational. This irrationality is only magnified when a fanbase is spurned by a star player for another. Such is the case for Kyrie Irving and Boston Celtics fans.
The Brooklyn Nets point guard is dealing with a right shoulder impingement that has kept him out of the last six games. He’ll miss Brooklyn’s tilt with Boston in TD Garden on Wednesday and Celtics fans are already labeling him a coward.

First of all, anyone who says Irving is “faking” or “milking” this injury so he won’t have to face the Boston crowd is either lying or they’re a few cards short of a full deck.
