the gang violence from the streets is beginning to make its way into our arenas and into our living rooms thanks to cnn and espn. damn it all. i’ve spent the last 2 hours explaining to my 6 year old, who I call “Spud”, why what happened tonight should never happen again. he’s just too damn young to understand though.
i wish the kids playing in tonight’s game thought about Spud before the gang fight tonight and maybe, just maybe, a few more lives would be saved instead of ending in this type of senseless violence
Spud, I ain’t giving up on ya, amigo
