Steve Kerr is a die-hard Dodgers fan. So, Friday must have been the best day of the week for all fans like him. An intense nail-biting World Series game unfolded between LA and the Yankees. At one point, when it felt like Shohei Ohtani and Co. would never make it, Freddie Freeman rose to the occasion. One walk-off grand slam and THE END. But when the baseball match was making headlines, Coach Kerr was busy in Delta Center seeing his boys take over Utah Jazz by storm.

During the halftime of the Dubs’ second game, Kerr checked his phone and saw the scoreline as 2-2. “I didn’t know anything that was going on after that point,” he said post-game. Well, as the game moved ahead, Steve Kerr got busy with his NBA business. However, he had an informer behind him who kept him updated on the Dodgers’ progress in Game 1.

“I did not [watch the grand slam] but the guy in the first row right behind me gasped,” Steve Kerr shared. “There was a dead ball and the guy said, ‘Oh my god. He did it. He hit it out.’ And I said, ‘Who?’ He said Freeman, and I was like, OK.” Well, his excitement and ear-to-ear grin have considerably upset the Dub Nation. How can a person coaching San Francisco, support a team from LA?! Fans demand that the Warriors front office fire the 59-year-old legend. “Fire Steve Kerr,” they say.

You might wonder why people raise such a demand. If you change your preferred city to a different league, you will face the consequences. Sounds strange? Well, what can we say- fans have their sentiments and it feels like Steve Kerr has hurt some!

Steve Kerr is facing the wrath of fans upset over his love for the LA Dodgers

So currently, Steve Kerr seems to acquired the status of ‘traitor’ among the Dub Nation. Well, not just San Francisco, but even the city of San Diego will be upset with the coach. Why? Oh, the native boy isn’t rooting for the Padres but going all out for the Los Angeles Dodgers. How do you expect the natives of the two cities to react when their ‘compatriot’ chooses ‘betrayal’?

Therefore, fans began writing comments like: “Steve Kerr you’re from San Diego…” and “Knew I hated Kerr for a reason other than being a terrible coach carried by superstars.” Well, yes remind the 59-year-old that his hometown also has a baseball team in the MLB! But, the second comment might be a bit of a stretch to judge. Meanwhile, Dodger detractors also took their turn to say: “Kerr should have punched him in the face for that horrible news.” If this isn’t the comic relief amidst the intense NBA season, then what is?

So now, Steve Kerr has to mend the broken hearts of two cities. First, San Francisco for showing loyalty to LA in the middle of an ongoing Dubs game. Second, San Diego, for not paying attention to his hometown’s Padres. However, what cannot be denied is the fact that the Dodgers did retrieve themselves in the most brilliant way possible, thus etching their names in MLB’s history all over again. And well, after Friday’s game, we do understand why Coach Kerr is a die-hard fan of Freddie Freeman and Co.
