I officially don't want the Mavericks to win the championship. I was pretty on the fence because there are aspects of both teams I like. But after watching tonight, and I've watched almost every game in its entirerity, I was so disgusted that rows 1-10 had tons, tons of empty seats. THIS IS THE FINALS!!! Your team has never been there, your owner dies for this team, and you can't either, A. bother to show, B. are too busy getting a hotdog to watch one of the better finals match ups in sometime C. fell in the toilet.
It erks me because as a general sports fan if I had access or money to buy tickets to my hometowns championship I would be there in a heart beat and if for some emergency reason I couldnt' I'd make sure someone was sitting in my seat wearing my home teams colors/jersey. It makes me sick.
The only thing that bugs me more is freaking Boston Red Sox. I hate the redsox, the fans are posers, and before 2003 you wouldn't have seen one walking down the street, but then all of a sudden everyone is a redsox fan and wearing that stupid hat. If you werent' born in Boston or live in boston, or at one time lived in boston then you have no right being a boston fan, same applies for Yankees fans... aka Root. Sorry Rob I'm sticking by my point that you just need to focus on the Panthers and Hurricanes, or maybe the gamecocks. The reason I bring this all up is for two reasons.
The first is I'm tired of ESPN aka the Yankees and Redsox network. Do you ever see games that don't involve these two teams?
Secondly I was watching the braves horrible series this past weekend on the YanksSox Network aka ESPN. There were more stinkin red sox fans than braves fans. Why can't the braves have good fans!! And why can't the red sox fans stick to living in caves like they should. I feel so bad for the Braves, I love them, they're a great team and great organziation, but I feel so bad that they can't get decent fanage at the games and can't get their city to rally behind them. When the Braves are spiralling out of control instead of people sticking by them and encouraging them they're saying, "well i guess the season's over, no more division titles...." Ok for starters you still have a good team and secondly the year's not halfway over.
OK enough rambling.
