All of the sudden, a weird Twitter avatar started to appear when people were talking about the Milwaukee Bucks. It looked like a bald man with some writing, and sure enough, they read ‘Fire Kidd.’ People started a movement out of nowhere with ‘Fire Kidd’ avatars and hashtags all over Twitter. They started showing up more and more after each bad Bucks loss where you could point to Kidd’s struggles. While the #FireKidd movement was not the reason Jason Kidd lost his job, but they helped the Bucks front office see the true discontent with the fan base.

To me, the fans openly booing Kidd in the pregame warmups last week against Miami spoke volumes to me. It basically ended up being the #FireKidd hashtag in real life. That’s such an awkward look that the fans are lustfully cheering for Giannis and following it up with a lustful boo of Kidd. Additionally, the national media started to catch on that all of the fans were collectively pissed. Bill Simmons makes comments about the anger of Bucks Twitter probably really struck a chord with individuals.

#FireKidd didn’t lead to ownership make an opinion on Kidd. Clowns tweeting at Alex Lasry for some fucking reason that I’ll never know did not force the hand of ownership. But these people became the voice of Milwaukee’s fan base, even if, some were nonsensical. They played a very small, but important part. Hopefully, this isn’t a trend for the team unless there’s actual cause for doing it.

I’ll echo my friend, Eric’s thoughts about finally seeing some different avatars compared to 100’s of #FireKidd’s.
