Methinks Thou Dost Artest Too Much!
Every now and then it happens. I jump on the CNN bandwagon, and I become obsessed with the questions of the moment. This week, the question is definitely “Where’s The Love?” I think we can all agree, the topic is the bad behavior of some of the players on the Indiana Pacers and the Detroit Pistons. While all I know is what I’ve read or heard on TV, you can be sure everyone has their own side of the story. But the bottom line remains the same: People just can’t stand it when you punch them in the face! It makes them go crazy! They do things they normally wouldn’t do, and they become temporarily insane; blind with rage, if you will. I am very glad that the punishment that was handed down to Artest and Jackson and O’Neal was strict! It should be!
That’s one of the worst things I have ever seen and these guys need to grow up!
The worst part of all of it, is that kids look up to them so much. The players must not really be thinking about the message they are sending to kids. So there it is. The CNN bandwagon.
I have become obssessed with the national tradgedy of the week.
I wonder if we will look back at this as a kind of turning point.
I hope it will lead us to the topic of the next entry : The International Dispute Resolution Committee!
