Article addressing Durant talking smack to the fans. If you watch the TSN broadcast you can clearly see Durant giving it to some fans behind the Riders bench.

I've been vocal in the past that the Riders have not and hopefully will not be that kind of organization, on or off the field, and I've often criticized teams/players that do. (mtl, Cgy) I've not been impressed with Tristan Jackson and Charles repeated trash talking and unnecessary celebrations, especially when losing.

Although I have to say its nice to see a guy from the states take such personal offence to another teams fans, albeit from an equally "hick" province, and defend Sask so hard.

I think it is obvious what kind of response it'll get on this forum but it is interesting nonetheless. I do like that Miller said he'd address it.

The Bombers/Riders rivalry has always been a lot more respectful than Cgy/Edm or Cgy/Sask. Seems like it got pretty heated this year.
