One of the weirdest things about sports is that fans expect players on their favorite team to cheer for every team associated with the city, despite all of them being from somewhere else in the country.
Case in point: Jayson Tatum. He is from St. Louis, so after the Blues won 4-1 over the Boston Bruins to win their first Stanley Cup, he celebrated on Twitter.
Celtics and Bruins fans were already pissed off about the loss, but this really set them off as many called him for him to be traded.
Trade him to New Orleans now
