Thanks for posting these.

Is it me, or does Kamler's Disney fetish just a little too weird?

I think we need a chant for him to the tune of a Disney song. :p

No more than some soccer fanatics... myself included!

My friends and family all think I am way too into soccer. Obviously I am not! 🙄

So I think a good healthy interest in something you love is a good thing.

Big difference. Last time I checked, soccer was the most popular sport in the world. Most guys that like Disney don't actually tell others about their "habit", let alone tell a newspaper.

Aww come on. It makes him...special. 😉

Come on Prime, the guy loves Disney what is wrong with that?

You tell people on here about your love of Star Wars, Harry Potter, Spongebob Squarepants and Optimus Prime! Those are all kids things that most grown ups would not admit to liking in public.

I like Wallace & Gromit, Hitchhikers Guide, Hong Kong Phooey, Gumby & Pokey and alot of things that are kids stuff...My Kids are grown up now but I still watch that stuff when I get a chance. Does that make me weird.... don't answer that! :D

Why is being a fan of Disney any different?

I'll be blunt.
Transformers, Star Wars and Potter are cool. Disney is gay. Well so is SpongeBob, but I only like that cuz its something I share with my daughter. It was cool when I was 12 to like Star Wars etc. But even when I was 12 it WASN'T cool to like Mickey Mouse.

Tell me: Do you think its cool that Kamler is a freak about Disney? Do you respect him more? Be honest.

Sure he can do what he wants, its a free country. I just think its odd that a pro-soccer player likes Disney so much. I guess I would feel better if they also said he had a Pele shrine in the other room in his house.

I like Disney. In fact, Disneyland is one of my favorite places. I may not have as much Disney stuff as Kamler, but I don't really see anything wrong with it. We all have our strange likes and obsessions.

Yes.

I don't usually base my respect for a person on their personal likes and dislikes. I think that Kamler is one of the greatest guys on the team. He is certainly one of the friendliest. He seems like a great guy. And I respect him for that. What he does or does not collect really doesn't factor in to whether I respect him or not. I don't see why anyone should be judged on something like this.
