Quin Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Everyone else has already said it, but that's just disgusting. Jordan needs to at least say something considering The Last Dance most likely reignited negative emotions towards Krause in the past few years.

They have a closeup video of her facial expressions/reaction and someone trying to comfort her. At least Kerr and King and DeRozan spoke up. Jordan is going to have to address this issue and the three no shows as well. Krause also worked for the White Sox as a scout in Brazil/Latin America near the of his public career. Par for the course with the Reinsdorfs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) Bulls president and CEO Michael Reinsdorf addressed the situation in a statement to NBC Sports Chicago in which he lauded Krause as "an important part of our history." "His legacy deserves to be celebrated and respected," Reinsdorf's statement read in part. "We were incredibly honored to have Thelma with us this evening to recognize Jerry as a member of the inaugural Chicago Bulls Ring of Honor." Not nearly good enough… Espn.com https://chicago.suntimes.com/bulls/2024/1/12/24036676/bulls-ring-of-honor-ceremony-misses-michael-jordan-scottie-pippen-dennis-rodman Edited January 13 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Middle Buffalo Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Also disappointing that Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman didn’t show up. Booing Krause’s widow is shameful. It’s just embarrassing to be a Chicago fan. Continually stupid franchises and fans. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of disagree that we deserve it only in the sense that it was at Reinsdorfs behest that Krause became a super villain in this city. however, last night was beyond the pale How many times has reinsdorf been in the athletic over the last three years for totally embarrassing s%*# that really has nothing to do with a sport. Just take your money and go, sir. We are done here 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteSox2023 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Reinsdorf should have known better. He made Krause the villain to the fans. He should have expected the boos and not set this up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I do agree with Parkins that if you are a fan in the 300 level, the idea that you knew his widow was there is kinda ridiculous. Should you boo? No. Personally I’m a Krause fan and yes, it was all JRs fault because of his sick view of management v labor. But how you can work for the bulls putting this together and NOT realize there would be boos is ridiculous. Last dance didn’t create this animosity, the idea that Krause broke up the bulls because he thought he was smarter than everyone was absolute canon.

MexSoxFan#1 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) I dislike Krause, instead of building harmony in that team, he made it dysfunctional and they succeeded despite of him. Still, I wouldn't have booed, especially towards his widow that had nothing to do with his dumb decisions.

If Michael had his way, they would have kept Oakley, not hired Phil and not drafted Kukoc. Krause may have been an ass, but give credit where it's due. My opinion of Jordan couldn't be any lower. He's flat out a terrible human being and his relationship with his ex teammates is petty and pathetic for someone of his stature.

baseball_gal_aly Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) They should have been booing Uncle Jerry, not Krause. But I think this is because of the state of Chicago sports in general, this city is tired of losing and frustrations boiled over in our own Philadelphia moment. Not that it's any excuse. Everyone hates on Krause for what he did, but Jordan was 37, so was Rodman and Pippen was 33. They were old. It was time. They got high picks during some terrible drafts. Krause is probably the single greatest executive in Chicago history. He might have been an asshole, but that doesn't take away what he accomplished with the Bulls. Stan Bowman is the one with a large amount of success that deserves that kind of reaction. Edited January 14 by baseball_gal_aly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 The idea of booing Krause as well when you really break it down is so stupid. He was the GM of the 6 titles and the supporting casts around 23 and 33 were totally different for the 3Peats. Even if he did break up the core too early (which is highly debatable) you’re booing that fact over cheering for the 6 titles? How are those remotely equal, let alone deciding to boo instead of just shutting the f*** up if you didn’t like Krause. It doesn’t make any sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
