Shame on you Media!



I’m not too into the NBA or NHL, since Baltimore have never had a team in either league since I’ve lived there. But I do cheer for the Wizards and Caps. I’ve gotten much more into the Caps, especially after their magical run this season. And I started watching Wizards games a few years ago after they drafted Juan Dixon in the first round in 2002. But if the Wiz or Caps lose, I don’t get that upset or frustrated as I would if it were the Terps, Ravens or Orioles.

That being said, I thought it was necessary to write about the Wiz-Cavs playoff series that is currently going on (Cleveland leads the series 3-2). This thing is getting heated! Darius Songaila and LeBron got tangled up on a play (below) and Songaila was T-ed up and suspended for game 6 tonight (the fact that he got suspended is ridiculous). But the whole reason I’m writing this post is because of the Cleveland Fans. Watch the clip below and listen to their fans chant “Asshole, asshole, asshole.” But I thought only naughty students in College Park used bad words like that! FALSE! It happens everywhere. And I’m tired of UMD being the media’s punching bag for this shit. Why does no one say anything when this happens at a PROFESSIONAL sporting event. At least in College you can say its stupid college kids. Folks, this is the NBA and most college kids aren’t attending NBA playoff games because, quite frankly, they can’t afford to. So these are adults chanting this and its clear as day on this youtube clip. Where are you now media, to chastise ADULTS who are doing this on National TV? WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN! WON'T ANYONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN?!?!?
Check it out below.
