Oh, Basketball!

taken from Professional Heckler's twitter account


I'm a basketball fan, NO, that would be an overstatement. I just like basketball. And of all the known sports, it's only basketball that I've watched with full attention. Just last week, both Ateneo and La Salle lost over NU and FEU. Because I have more friends in both Ateneo and La Salle, my FB feeds are filled with their sentiments, and I must admit, bitter statuses, bitter thoughts and bitter comments. I feel for them, heck, UP hasn't won a single game during the season won only once during the season and we threw a bonfire to celebrate. And that's the spirit! Go UP! Hahaha! Anyway, the reason for this post is that honestly, I can't take it when people really take things seriously, comm'n it's JUST a basketball game. I've read name-calling, bashing and the likes and well, it really doesn't show class... where is the SPORT in sports, eh? I'm not also in favor when NU, FEU and all other universities for that matter participate in the vicious trash talking. Basketball, or any form of sport, demands respect. Sports are meant to unite, not divide the 8 great teams through petty, uncalled for arguments. I admit I would have wanted La Salle to win, but that doesn't give me the audacity to be melodramatic when they lost over FEU...even if boyfie continues to tease me about it. Hahaha!
