I was at the game last night and was shocked by this:
Did anyone else notice that the clock froze at 11.3 seconds left in the 4th quarter?! Play continued for a good 4 seconds before Hartley had the ball knocked out of bounds. Had Rebecca Allen actually made that 3 at the end, and this footage had been reviewed, Atlanta would have had quite a bit to grip about given the game should've been over by that point...
This was my first game in Westchester this season. Weird crowd. The size of the venue gives the individual "fan" way too much power to shout whatever they want and be heard, like the man who shouted "You suck!" after Reshanda Gray missed a free throw. C'mon dude. Gray's missed free throws were the least of our problems. |
Imagine the kind of person who would scream out "You suck!" at Reshanda Gray for missing a free throw--when the season is already lost and it's hardly like Reshanda Gray is at the heart of the problem.
There are too many sports fans--overwhelmingly male--who shouldn't be allowed to watch games live.

Ha, that same venue size enables the entire crowd to know specifically who the asshole was who shouted it out. Hopefully Rashanda gained some satisfaction knowing that.
But man, no matter how good or bad you think Rashanda is, she plays her heart out every minute on the court. Target someone else. Or better yet, no one at all.

| Sometime in the late 1990s I was at a Mets' game in Shea Stadium. John Franco had come in as the team's closer. He was having a so-so season; not great, not awful. As he was warming up, a kid of about 10, sitting near the field, stood up and started screaming. His tirade against Franco was uglier than "You suck" and went on for a while. I assume the man sitting to the kid's right was his father. His proud father. His son was learning to become a man.
