This might be crazy, but hear me out. Maybe, just maybe, if Mr. August shows up on the court the fans should, like, kinda support him? I mean, it might not be counter-productive at least.

Do you think there's any chance that happens? If they were chanting "Fuck Ben Simmons" at a wrestling event, odds are they won't be greeting him with a basket of puppies and bunnies when he returns to the court.
Sorry to the wrestling fans, but fuck those people.
I don't think Ben Simmons has ever been booed here in person. Yeah I would love a standing ovation just because it's the opposite of what the entire league, and Ben, expects. Not likely though.
Realistic outcome: he get booed mercilessly at home game #1. By the 4th quarter they are chanting MVP MVP as he approaches a triple double. Then, he gets traded at the deadline and he'll be back to being booed.

And hopefully he plays relatively well and we end up with a better trade package than we would've gotten a week ago.
Sweet - Kyrie Irving, who is a flat earther and believes dinosaurs never existed, is not going to play for the Nets (because the Nets said so) until the anti-vax freak gets vaccinated. Best news to help keep the Sixers at the top of the East.

I saw he's participating in an individual workout tonight (has to wait 5 days for team stuff b/c of Covid protocols). It is really to both Ben's and the team's benefit if he plays...
Per this report, sounds like these guys hate each other. Doc told him before the Ben left "it's in your fucking contract." I enjoy this all very, very much.
Yeah. I was planning on selling my opening night tix for a big profit, but prices keep going down as of now. And if Ben is going to be playing, I want to be there for that.
I’m guessing that if we get an official word that he’s suiting up Friday, prices will skyrocket and I’ll have no choice but to sell.
So after reading everything known to man on this subject, the mosaic I put together is this guy has been sort of a wreck since his cousin died, in a city that puts you under a microscope, and he literally wilted under the pressure at the absolute worst possible time with the yipps. Juggs is right, also. The guy is on social media wayyyy too much, because if the fans get to you and it's because you think you're being highly scrutinized then you're consuming way too much media of all types of the worst kinds.
Ben and Rich Paul met with Morey and Doc, and the difference in preparation is hilarious. Morey and Doc brought rational facts to the table, and Ben just brought "I appreciate all this, but yeah, I just can't do it."

Trust Daryl Morey's Process. lol
The Philly fans call him Benamin Simmons. They leave off the J because he doesn't have one, lol.

My Rich Paul hate is deep, is what I'm sayin.
Ben is supposed to be at practice tomorrow

Looking forward to his first press conference.
