[@BrikMason]

The hard truth is, as fans we have to start voting with our dollars. Stop going to games. Stop watching the games which will make the advertisers take notice. Stop buying the merch. Maybe even as content creators think about how your cover them. This is the only way anything is going to change, if the Reinsdorf's don't invest in this team the way even some smaller markets will.

[@JoeTheBlacksmith13]

It’s true. There should be a pre-recording of boycotting merch and tickets before every bulls utubers videos. The only way it would work, is if there is a unified front in the financial boycott.

[@Stzu-s2bt55]

Nobody should pay anything for Jerry. Nobody should buying tickets to see the bulls. Sox doesn’t count because nobody goes there anyway. He’s a SUMBAG. He’s a rich old man living in his retirement home in a wheelchair and doses nothing but snaps his fingers and it happens. He’s a disgrace to sports.

[@elboogie2324]

This is not the first time he's said something like that. He's on the record stating that he'd trade all 6 Bulls championships for ONE World Series win. This was before 2005.

[@NBAwasBetterInThesands]

Jamal, I've been on board since the Bulls drafted my favorite college player. I've never been more disgusted with ownership, the team's direction, the modern game itself, the bought and paid for narratives and water carriers for gas-lit driven propaganda, and just about everything involved with this once great league. The bottom line is that the league will never be what it was ever again. Revere, respect, and cherish what we were able to experience in real time. While the modern league will never take away my memories and adoration, it for damn sure can't do anything except, at best, hope to moderately entertain me anecdotally. What a damn shame🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️🍻✌️

[@SQUATLEY]

The beginning of this is something that resonated with me. I had the same feeling in '88 when I saw MJ for the first time. As an 8 yr old In Ontario in the 80's there was no basketball on TV, just hockey.... but we got playoffs, and I will never forget watching him play for the first time and what an affect it would have on me my whole life from then on.

[@CHI-JORDAN-CHI]

First game I ever watched when my family immigrated to America was game 1 of the 91 finals. I was 3 years old and I actually rmbr it. Watched every playoff game until the game 6 of the 98 finals. It’s been 26 years and it’s all been downhill since 98.

NBA loses millions every year because the mismanagment of the Bulls. I don't understand how they haven't forced him to sell yet.

[@claude_k]

Good that you are pointing this out, thank you! To send the message of frustration to the owners, you can only dream of the whole worldwide fanbase committing to not buying merch or going to the games for any extended period of time... To make changes happen on the quicker side, I believe it is the only way, and sadly that is NOT going to happen ever. We have to be patient and hope for incremental change, and this is sad.

[@gojiking2790]

Ive been calling for new owners for years now!!!

[@maximillianschauer1439]

[@vanravan]

Side note: We all say The Reinsdorf's to sell the team... but hey don't forget the other Owners!! Jerry doesn't even have a majority... there are a lot of enablers there...

[@BSAnime]

Reminds me of what the Blackhawks had to deal with back in the early 2000s. Perhaps the same will happen to the Bulls???? I find it hard to get invested in the Bulls when the owner can't do the same. This isn't a serious organization, they are just a business. It's a shame as I want to see them try to build something, but I just don't see the vision.

[@goobisoft9278]

that was kinda just pure luck tho that danny wirtz was the polar opposite of his grandfather jerry’s son has been mostly running the bulls since 2010 and it hasn’t gotten better so i wouldn’t be optimistic

[@jayridglyn8580]

This is why I was always a Wolves fan. Just was never on TV in the 90s

[@TheUltimateRage]

You forgot one EXTREMELY important part - our HORRIBLE luck since MJ. It's easy to blame Reinsdorf because he owns the team. However, you neglected to mention how injuries to Jay Williams, D. Rose, and Lonzo Ball completely SABOTAGED our championship hopes. We're one of the biggest "What If" franchises of all time! Even with MJ, what if those pos mfs didn't murder his dad, or Jerry Krause didn't fire Phil Jackson like a BEEYOTCH?!?!?! Life is just absurd sometimes. I'm not capin' for Reinsdorf, but if a lot of these horrible things didn't happen, who knows how our franchise would look up to this point!

[@turdferguson8175]

I’ve always knew this about Jerry. I’m a huge Sox fan as well. To openly hear him say he cares more about the white sox is bs. He doesn’t care about either team.

[@vanravan]

Since 1995... watching from Europe... at 1 a.m. ...

[@ragingoracle6239]

Jerry said he loved the Sox more since 96. He told the media during the Jordan Baseball years.

[@luisandrade5441]

The only way out of this is getting dirt on the guy. He sounds like a cleanskin. Hold onto & cherish those memories who had as a 6 year old. It’s going to be a long time before you’ll get to experience that again as a Bulls Fan. Since MJ left it was only the 10-11 & 11-12 seasons were the Bulls were contenders 😢

[@montezking5604]

He didn't have to tell me he dont care about the bulls winning,yhey just had championship caliber teams and refused to start Drummind or give Javonte enough minutes. When I seen that I knew they wasnt trying to win I dont follow people who try to lose.

[@TetrarchJefffreak69]

Being a Bulls fan after that 98 Bulls team is very very painful and even more painful seeing Rose getting injured multiple times the best Bulls player since Jordan. If not for his injuries Rose and the Bulls could have been another dynasty. Reinsdorf really should be more concerned about the team and making the team championship contenders it's like his baby his kids nurture them surround the team with the best people possible. The Bulls are a family owned business greedy people as long as the team makes money the Reinsdorfs don't care about how good or bad the team is and don't really care about the fan base either and AKME better start improving the team season after season or the Bulls will forever be stuck in basketball purgatory and the only good memories we will ever have to look back on as Bulls fans is Michael Jordan and those 90's Bulls winning 6 championships in the 90's

[@montezking5604]

I don't think Rose was better than Pippen.Even if Rose didn't get hurt they would've needed a few pieces that they didn't have to be a dynasty,in those days they would've needed a blossomed Butler and maybe a Paul George or Kawhi.....and guess what the owner wasn't trying to win back then either unless what they had was enough knowing it wasn't. Also if he got the pieces like they just had for two seasons he still would've sabotaged it like he did.

[@raymorris2264]

[@MichaelVillarreal-ix5pl]

Yes sir I agree

[@GoldenWind30]

Without Jordan, the Bulls would probably be the worst franchise in NBA history. Makes me sad that besides the Rose era, the Bulls haven’t been close to title contending. I hope it changes soon because i love this team. Let’s hope for greener pastures fellow Bulls fans 🤞🏼

[@CrixDeveloper]

Well, do something about it for God's sake. In England, fans burn the stadium when they don't like something about the ownership. You guys being in the United States should do something to change this. God this man is so lucky that he almost get away with it, yet again, when they drafted Rose.

[@BullsCentral]

Lol yeah you can’t do that here

[@ColdHoops]

@CrixDeveloper My fellow compatriot... you're just telling Americans to go to jail with that statement💀

[@jdh9676]

I think you're giving Jerry too much credit, here. I also think it's logical he said he cares more about the Sox winning than the Bulls being they're so god awful. It's probably good he doesn't "care" enough about the Bulls to be more involved. I mean apparently he cares about the Sox and they're literally a disaster this season, "historically bad." Jerry stays out of the way concerning the Bulls. For the most part. Jerry's problem, so it seems, is he's not the mean, "greedy" man he's often painted to be. But he's actually a "nice guy." Runs the Sox like a "family business," doesn't like firing people. I'm almost certain him "caring" more about the Bulls or being more hands on wouldn't fix the Bulls, ever.

[@jeffreyeung]

Being a Bulls fan, the only enjoyable period was when we got lucky, with Jordan and then with Rose, we know what the reinsdorfs are about now, and worse theres not much we can do, unless everyone boycotts the team and actually hurts his bottom line, which I don't see happening, at least not at the moment, he just need the bulls to be competent enough

[@HustleBeastComing]

Absolutely Agree with you 👍🏽

[@aturner3246]

The problem is actually, awful coaching! Or should I say, little to no coaching. Playing into today's version of offense around the NBA, is challenging at best. You could have the players you need but if you are not running a formulated offense, it becomes street ball. Street ball requires little thought, just pick a team and go! Although it looked like MJ was hogging the ball, the Bulls were playing a system. A system where multiple screens were set, to free up shooters, etc. The "triangle" can be complicated, if done right. In today's NBA, players come down, run to the corners and wait, while they can watch a point guard dribble down the floor and ignore them and shoot! The offensive rebound is almost a lost art. The Bulls could have the best starting line up in the world, and still not win! Coaching, not the owner! Chicago Bulls fan since the beginning, 1966-67! My 2 cents!

[@montezking5604]

You think the owner couldn't say I'm paying Drummond I want him to start?like he said he don't care about the bulls winning.

[@Mr.RGBiggsGuyRGBG]

Its amazing how much Bulls merchandise is being sold in all the shops here in Australia now with Josh Giddey now on the team and you know there will be alot of Bulls fans with Giddeys name on there backs. Jerry frustrates me as a owner because he has all the resources at his disposal and yet he doesn't put his money where his mouth is to give us long suffering fans of this franchise something proud to be a Bulls supporter for. Instead it just feels like to me atleast. Why should I invest my money and time when the guy who's at rhe very top of those organization literally does not care and to me Jerry still is satisfied with the 90s dynasty and for us to be playing for chips again. We have to strike gold and get so bloody lucky in the next few drafts starting with Cooper Flag and striking on every future first round picks. I don't know what to expect anymore and when you feel like your forcing yourself to watch a Bulls game its probably time ro take a break. Wish Jerry had a ❤ for the game!
