About daily life… or nothing in particular.
I was supposed to comment on Jowi’s blog entry (hence the title), but I noticed that I was quoting and writing too much already. So I decided to just post my answer here hahaha.
It’s also a good topic actually because there aren’t any straight right or wrong answers, and would really depend on the situation, time, and the people involved at that particular moment.
Something I realized about the whole “sportsmanship” issue in the UAAP with regards to La Salle: We’re really unlucky to end up gathering the ire of almost every school… especially ADMU by our recent gestures.
I say unlucky because if it was a different situation, having an “aggressive mental game,” for lack of a better phrase, would probably be perfectly fine… for any team.
Now since I’m sure the ADMU people are first to react to this… let me qualify:
With regards to the ADMU-DLSU game, while I have no problems with trash-talking and what not… I believe that what DLSU did was in poor taste – simply because they were dominating ADMU. If the competition had been fiercer or “matched,” if you’ll allow me to say that – I doubt anyone from any side would’ve minded any type taunt to anyone during the game.
So let me state now palang, that as far as ADMU was concerned, La Salle did a shameful act as a team (the whole jiggy, time-outs, etc. etc.) by “kicking someone who was already down.” That’s why I admire the Blue Eagles in the last games against DLSU. Because although they weren’t the better team, they definitely were the bigger one.
Beautiful game by both teams. Unfortunate as it is for me, Whoever won in that game truly deserves it. Another championship match worthy of the finals.
But what the hell was that cheap shot on Arwind Santos by one of the La Salle staff!?!? Fucking retarded old person. He should be banned from the UAAP.
Boo La Salle, boo.
Last na to.
There’s been a lot of hullabaloo recently, which was related to the issue in my past post.
I know I shouldn’t be even wasting my time on it anymore, because quite frankly it isn’t affecting me or my situation. I may be stepping down one level as a person by even addressing the issue, but I really think I should say this and forever hold my peace… until I get to talk to the guy personally. Hell, I might end up just stating everything here, and save me the time.
Sa lahat ng mga kaibigan ko na nagsabi na wag ko na patulan… patawarin ninyo ako 😉 di ko na matiis eh.
As usual, no names will be involved. I’m not a person who “destroys” reputations behind their backs (or in any way for that matter)… which is hardly the courtesy I’ve been extended. Then again, I didn’t deserve such a courtesy in the first place, so at least it would be reasonable to assume that I’ve already taken enough “flak” to merit as punishment for my actions…
Now we’re even 😉
Couldn’t believe it myself, but this time, I’d have to agree with Jem.
I think it would be good for all us DLSU fans to read her entry. There indeed is no place for ego in sports, and my hats off to the Blue Eagles for taking it like champs. One of the few traits I admire about the school.
Anyways, as I said, I wholeheartedly agree with what she said. No use in me even trying to wriggle out of that one hehehe.
The lame excuse I had hoped to be true, was that it was part of La Salle’s mental game. After all, there’s no team easier to beat than a team that’s pissed off – and therefore unfocused. JC had mentioned how Ateneo, being a team good enough to beat FEU, et all, would lose all games to La Salle this season. Indeed it seems to be a spell the Archers have mastered to cast on them. And I’d very much would’ve hoped that La Salle’s bravado was part of that spell.
