Likes to Fight Guy

There I was, leaving the Spurs game after they successfully mopped the floor with the Ray Cry Baby Allen and the rest of the Seattle Sonics. To my surprise there were still a lot of people making their way to their vehicle even after a good number of people started leaving with three or more minutes in the game. I parked in one of the lots furthest from the SBC Center; the amount of money they charge for parking is outrageous, and it went up 33% for the playoffs. I have wondered on numerous occasions what it takes to get into the parking lot racket; kick backs to the mob? Selling one’s soul to some scumbag in charge?

Anyhow as me and my friend maneuvered through crowd we came upon a few schmucks walking by a crew wearing Seattle jerseys. No big deal, it is a sporting event after all, people do like teams other than the hometown one. I am sure they were expecting a fair share of ridicule and harassment for wearing such garb to another team’s home court, but it is typically all in good spirits. Except this is San Antonio, one of the angrier cities, probably in the world.

So apparently the sight of the jerseys, the alcohol, and the amount of money paid for the alcohol ($6 - $8 a beer) brought out likes to fight guy. As we are walking by this guy starts talking trash, and gets pissed off and wants to throw over something stupid I am sure. You can hear schmuck yelling and screaming about how he doesn’t have to take this or that, blah blah blah. Luckily we managed to walk by this crew before anything did go down, and we weren’t about to hang around to find out.

It doesn’t take much to provoke people ‘round here – go to a bar glance at some one, and next thing you know they are in your face like you just did terrible things to his mother or something. Yes indeed, just another evening in ol’ SA!

As far as the Spurs, I am looking for my broom right now – it appears this series is going to be over real soon. The Sonics simply can’t match up against the Spurs no matter how much whining Ray Allen does. Ray – you and your team are going to packing your bags for that fishing trip real soon.
