Dear Fans, Please Don't Boo Me. Sincerely....

It's expected now: When an athlete leaves a team or retires, they have to take out the obligatory full-page newspaper ad thanking the fans of their former team and city. Add to that social media posts and Player's Tribune articles. The question is whether it's sincere or just a way to preserve revenue from merch sales and other possibilities. The latest full-pager was Dirk Nowitzki's, in case you want a fresh example of what Deadspin has called "tearstained letters." Do you buy that the players care about the city and the fans?
