Arrogant Ohio State, and they wonder why they are hated

Agree.  But “hated” is imho to strong a word; “not admired” would be my word.  I “admire” true sportsmanship.  Special Olympics, big pros who try to help and inspire little kids, Roberto Clementi, Sadio Mane with his broken iphone11 are the ones who exemplify the essence of humanity I hope I can emulate.

Hope more MP4B = “Millionaires Playing For Billionaires” can emulate good sportsmanship and remember that we are all brothers.

Isn’t there a saying “to whom much is give, much is expected”?

RANT: Sportsmanship missing

Sunday, January 29, 2012

5:27 first half of Michigan Ohio State …

… in real time in looked like the Michigan guard creamed the Ohio State player …

… on replay it’s obvious that it was a flop …

… the refs were ready to call a flagrant, but went to the video replay …

… changed it to a no call …

 

Sorry not good enough for me.

The flopping player should get a technical for “bad acting”, delay of game, or unsportsmanlike conduct.

If the refs were going to toss the Michigan guard for rough play, then the Ohio State player should be at risk of the same penalty.

 

Argh!

 

Play hard, but it always has to be “honest”.

 

Argh!
