Current mood:

Wha...?

not sure sports is fandom, but anyway...
I am a basketball fan and am looking forward to Game 7 between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Sacramento Kings to see who will advance to the next round to play the Los Angeles Lakers.

The T-Wolves/Kings (liek omg now i think uv teh slash) game is going to be an important one. Minnesota player Kevin Garnett, the league's MVP, made the following comment regarding getting psyched up for the game:

"I'm sitting in the house loading up the pump, I'm loading up the Uzis, I've got a couple of M-16's, couple of nines, couple of joints with some silencers on them, couple of grenades, got a missile launcher. I'm ready for war."

People were offended by the war analogy and Garnett later apologized.

Some people think Garnett didn't owe an apology. And damn, some people over at the ESPN message boards are wanky about it. Plus, we go zero to Iraq in just a few sentences.

To summarize: I am so sick and tired of people talking about [Kevin Garnett] and his war remarks. Why are we in Iraq? Trent Lott a racist politician has made it clear that he is in fact a racist and the president George Bush has supported him. And [Kevin Garnett] I feel where you are coming from.

...

Yeah.

Needless to say, a couple flames start up. A listing of posts in the thread is available here for your viewing pleasure. It could die, it could grow. God, I hope it grows.
