Troy Weaver Gets INTO it with a Detroit Pistons Fan!
The interaction between Troy Weaver and fan X yeah I got it I I don’t even want to see this but here here we go he is decked out of Red Wings gear I like the black family sitting in front just looking at this guy like what are you doing
Man like bro sit down shut up he acted surprised he getting kicked out so so before I I see your face before we get into it we don’t have any video of what led up to that right like that’s where that’s the only one I’ve seen the only video posted it starts
With Troy raver responding to him saying I’m gonna kick your ass or something yeah U but we don’t know all the stuff that was leading up to it do you have any background or or or you start this off but I think there needs to be more context painted there definitely needs
To be more context painted because the first thing everybody’s going to do is conflate uh what the Pistons are right now to the situation right now people and fans are rightfully pissed off with the product on the floor not just this this season but underneath the entire Troy Weaver era and going back
Realistically uh over time Gores is complete ownership of the it’s a complete era owning the the Detroit Pistons it just hasn’t been good it hasn’t been what fans have come to know and there hasn’t been a lot of Hope Detroit Weaver era ushered in a lot of
Hope and uh to kind of see where it’s at right now in year four heading into year five a lot of fans are going to conflate their feelings with this situation they want to be able to tell TR Weaver and they want to be able to see him be told
To his face hey bro look you’re not doing a good job you suck at your job that’s what a lot of fans are going to want to see and when you look at a lot of the comments that’s what you’re seeing already kind of all across Ross
The board there are some though who are out there stating this one we don’t know what was said and I do have some comments on that and uh two it just he’s not one of the players just leave him out of it leave him be a lot of other
People believe Troy Weaver maybe shouldn’t sit there but that’s where he sits every single game and he doesn’t have interactions like this with anybody else a lot of other people that bring respect to that Arena if they’re going to Heckle or talk about somebody it’s about the players on the floor not
Necessarily A Personnel uh that’s sitting in the stands or sitting in the media section or whatnot but uh you’re right the first thing that I recognized in this video was this fact if the cameras kind of start there then you know that there had to be something that
Led up to it for somebody to say you know what let me get my camera out and start to record good point and everything that I’ve heard um and I’ve seen a couple articles that have been written as well is that this was the third the Third Kind of interaction
Between tro Weaver and his fan in that span of time and that what we saw in video was the third time that after two times that we were basically told hey chill out hey chill out then all of a sudden Weaver gets up and that’s what
We’re privy of being able to see yeah so big Dan Davis in the chat actually there are a couple um couple sides to this that I’m seeing and and I I see both I see both sides big Dan says Woodward sports that fan had been hackling Weaver
Before they started filming that video I don’t blame Weaver for going off and I’m not a weaver fan either bada bing bada boom says to be fair that guy is a season ticket holder they have more of a right to be upset over anyone they’re paying premium money for this garbage
Product and I’ve seen a couple others say regardless of what the fan saying try Weaver has got to be professional and hold that in but at the same time he’s human so I I’m glad it didn’t get physical it’s not a good look for Troy Weaver considering but I don’t think
That F you get off um empty hand uh get off Scotch PR to recover from thatty full-handed then I’m I’m not going down that tried to clean it up today look at I’m glowing listen look from a professional standpoint you always have to that’s that’s always going to be the
Rule the standard is to not react that way from a human element from a human standpoint especially if it’s a third I definitely understand where tro Weaver is at so I’m kind of on both sides as relates to that but as relates to the fan you just you can’t act like that
Yeah I’m sorry you just can’t act like that there’s not an excuse that way either there is kind of culpability on everybody involved in this situation especially when Troy Weaver does know he has the power to Simply stand up and do what he did towards the end of that clip
And that’s hey get this guy out of here when you have that type of power exercise that type of power and stand on your business that way because what winds up happening is it gives everybody else more ammo and more fuel to be able to say well Troy Weaver did something
Wrong when in reality we need more respect amongst people period I don’t care like like just because a team might be losing does not give anybody the the the authority now or the right to say you know what I can talk however I want to talk to this guy it doesn’t give you
That right at all that’s why I often I’ve compared the Detroit Bad Boys rebuild to the this current rebuild do you understand that this rebuild is at a better Pace or if not about the same Pace imagine if we would have been in year three saying these same things to
Trader Jack and to Chuck Dy how stupid would it look when the Bad Boys actually got rolling because they knew what they were building to irregardless of what any of the fans knew or didn’t know we’re not the professionals at building an NBA franchise we’re not that’s just
The point blank period of it all so for me personally like yeah I would have rather Troy Weaver handled himself in a much more professional manner but from a human element of it I think all of us in this room are like you know what it only
Takes one two three times for somebody to be heckling me on something they know no know nothing about for me to probably at the best just respond that way like you lucky I don’t beat your tail right like imagine well we deal with it every day on social
Media but imagine if there was someone sitting that on in that chair during our show heckling us every single day or for our these entire two hours like there there does come a point where you like dude just chill out like if it’s not working what what what else are you
Supposed to do I I I sort of think about it like referees in in really all levels of sports especially High School sports the the uh referees for all these sports that are less and less available because no one wants to put up with a job the
Only place maybe in the world maybe in America where you can buy a ticket and go somewhere and for two hours scream anything you want at another human being at be okay why would why would a someone who just graduated from college want to
Go and pursue a a a career in referee I don’t know how I sort of got to that tangent but Troy Weaver he he just snapped I’m and again I’m glad it didn’t get physical but man I I disagree with both of them how about that Troy Weaver
Should have should have as hard as it should have contained himself but that fan there comes the limit where dude you just got to shut up like this is the third time this fan yeah we got to do better as fans man we got to be able to
Differentiate listen I’m not a big fan of Troy Weaver Troy Weaver and his move so far as well but that doesn’t give you card Blan to go just Heckle the guy every chance you get like it it’s stupid if you sucked as a bagger at Walmart do
That give people the right to come come say Hey you suck every every day you work like come on now like it’s ridiculous we got to do better man I understand I understand this is a losing product they have been losing my whole teenage in adult life I understand but
That we just got to do better as fans man you can’t you can’t be heckling the guy especially once you said this is the third incident the fan got what he Deserve

He brought the players that suck in and is part of the team so this should be no issue. Agreed more context is needed about what was said 1st but if was you suck and suck at your job that’s soft.
Thank you!! Being classy and dignified whether we're winning or losing shows a better fanbase and organization.
Rather you paid money for the seats or not you cannot talk sideways to another human being and then look crazy when you get kicked out. If that fan gets banned from LCA was it really worth telling the GM he sucks at his job and whatever else he said.
He needs fired now
Troy Weaver should be let go he is a poor GM that he could not keep his cool. The Pistons are awful this year and that reflects on him as a GM.
Gotta keep it classy no matter what
The fact that the morning passed, and Troy Weaver still has a job is proof enough that Tom Gores doesn't care about the relationship Detroit Pistons has with it's fans.
Before I judge, I need to see the first part of the video. 🤷🏽♂️
Agree. Troy did the right thing to
Barring a threat from the fan, there really is NO REASON for Troy Weaver to complain, let alone having the fan thrown out. Sorry, but this is not "Malace at the Palace". Fans can and do voice their opinions. For example, fans frequently chanted "We Love Goff!" at Red Wing games. They chanted "Fire Millon!" at Lions games. This is no different. To claim that you can't heckle a guy…sorry, but if Weaver didn't like it, then Weaver could have gone to the suite. Instead, he has a fan thrown out? That's pathetic. If the fan only threw insults at him, then Weaver deserves to be fired. YES FIRED! Treating fans this way is a sure fire way to annoy the fan base and make them opt to no longer support the team. To claim that fans SHOULDN'T vocalize their thoughts to management is like saying "Just buy the ticket, shit in your seat, and shut the hell up!" Sorry, that's insulting to fans! It would be like telling you guys that you shouldn't voice your opinions either! Hell, Coach Campbell called out Jim "Cookies" Costa and told him "you know what, go ahead and say it. Both of you. Say what you want to say." If Cambell can handle it, then Weaver should have handled it better…WEAVER sets the example, not the fan. So, since Weaver handled it poorly, he should be at least reprimanded by the team owner AND issue an apology to the fanbase (maybe even to that fan in the Red Wings jersey). The fact that he hasn't proves that Weaver is all about his own ego and doesn't give a flying fart about what the fans think. steps down from his soap box
I'm with Troy🤷🏾♂️
The guy isn't wrong. Troy is bad at his job.
“Irregardless” is not a word
Yeah I'm sure it's going to be painted as a black and white thing give me a break Troy Weaver sucks he's unprofessional just like his basketball team
You should be happy anyone even shows up to your games . What is with Woodward defending Troy? You getting free suite nights ? Troy sucks ass his draft sucks his coach hire sucks . 70 wins since Troy got here ? Not one of the players ? He built this trash heap . But you guys think needs one more off season why? So they can Maybe fall into a play in game ?
He does suck tho 😂
