Miserable Kings fans dedicate their subreddit to 'The Lion King' after abysmal trade
It has been an awful weekend for fans of the Sacramento Kings.
Scratch that, it's been an awful decade for fans of the Sacramento Kings. It only got worse this weekend when the team announced they traded their star player for rookie Buddy Hield and a large bucket of ice.
And while fans were still reeling from the news, Kings General Manager Vlade Divac rubbed salt in the wound when he, for reasons beyond our comprehension, said he had a better deal two days ago.
Fans are frustrated. The Kings have had many opportunities to be great and have seen all-star after all-star move through their team like a revolving door.
So what do fans do now?
The ones on Reddit came up with a simple solution: Completely dedicate your subreddit to the Disney classic The Lion King.
It appears that the fans have finally broken and are now basically only talking about the 1994 animated movie.
Topics are now anything from "Don't let Boogie getting traded to the Pelicans distract you from the fact that Scar blew a 1,000 hyena lead to a pride of lions." to, simply, just the Hakuna Matata video.
As a fan of hopeless and loathsome sports teams, I empathize. Growing up in Ohio in the '90s, I would've killed for a subreddit like this to ease the constant despair.
So, if you want to find frank and intelligent discussion about the Sacramento Kings, you will have to look elsewhere than r/kings.
But, if you have a pretty hot The Lion King take, feel free to drop it in!
