What are you wearing?
10-May-10
Hi Utah Jazz fans! You don’t know me, but my family calls me Katie, and boys who like me call me Kate.
Anyway, I digress, if any of you Jazz fans were at the game tonight wearing your “Fisher Lied” shirts (or any variation thereof), I wonder about you. I have heard questions about you, like people ask if you have a soul. Other questions range from uncertainty whether you don’t know what you are talking about or just thought you wanted to get on tv by wearing your trendy trucker hat and attempting to look pretty.
The only pretty thing I can find is pretty sorry. I know not all Jazz fans feel like Fisher broke his contract and handed back $8 million on a chance that he could win more rings with the Lakers, a team who was no where near willing to sign him at the time of the issues surrounding his daughter who is currently in remission from eye cancer.
I will not try to plead Derek’s case for him, you can do the research and talk to NBA insiders and analysts for the story if you missed it. I will say that Fish has been a classy guy. He’s a classy ball player and someone that can truely be considered a role model and mentor.
I don’t want to give more attention to the individuals who felt this was the appropriate way to display their feelings of Derek’s departure, but this is wrong, classless, tacky, and deplorable fan behavior that I don’t think Larry Miller would agree as a display of a true Jazz fan.
If you don’t know what I am talking about, go to 4:22 left in the 1st half of TNT’s coverage of the Lakers/Jazz game. Maybe I will post a pic later.
