I'm not sure where I'm going with this post, but it is in response to something - and I couldn't resist a commentary on the rare combination of passion-points here, namely politics and MN Sports.
Over the weekend there was another roundly tragic clash between ICE Agents and the public. I don't really care to comment on all of that other than to say, if you don't want to get shot, don't get in the way of police officers and federal law enforcement officials who are doing their jobs. Those are some brave men and women and you have no idea what they've seen and put up with while carrying out lawful orders. Those brave men and women have families too and many of them have to be asking themselves, "is this even worth it?"
Immediately following this latest clash, the Minnesota Timberwolves cancelled their NBA game with the Golden State Warriors for that evening. They ended up playing the next day and predictably, cameras and microphones got shoved in the faces of players and coaches asking for their "comment" on all of this. For the mouth-breathers on social media, their comments weren't "enough". I don't know what "enough" means, but they were looking for more. More passion. More hyperbole. More something. Meanwhile, I'm sitting here thinking, "why did they feel like they had to say anything at all?" Why does anyone feel like they need to hear from Joe Athlete or Jane Celebrity when bad stuff happens?
