- Bryant said the comment at Cubs Convention in a room full of Cubs fans. Did anyone think he'd really say, "Oh man. I love St. Louis. Beautiful city. Great food." The comment was obviously meant to feed into the crazy Cubs fan base.
- KB only referred to the city of St. Louis and nothing about the Cardinals organization yet damn near every fan comment brings it back to being about the organization.
- The only "insult" that came out of Bryant's mouth was that the city is "boring." He could have really been a dick and bashed the city in pretty much any way he wanted to but he made a joke about it being boring instead. Completely harmless.
"I said to the guys, 'We are like a family. We have to stick together. We have to defend ourselves, and we have to defend our ground.' Whoever says something about us, we are going to be there to defend us."Calm down, Leonidas. via GIPHY Look, if ANY Cardinals player was asked about the city of Chicago during their Cardinals Caravan bullshit they do every winter, I'd EXPECT them to trash the city and Wrigley Field. It's what rivals do. You know how many trash comments I read from Cardinals fans about how dangerous the city of Chicago is, or Wrigley Field is outdated, or Cubs fans just go to games to drink, or you may get shot if you go to Chicago...I could keep going with the comments if I had to. My point is, Bryant's comments were harmless and I wouldn't even consider them to be trash talk because the dude doesn't have that reputation. Even if he did have that reputation, he called the city boring dude...get over it. I don't know. Maybe the Cardinals need this to try and stoke a rivalry that has been non-existent the past five years.
