Local support for the Magic during the playoffs

Hadn't seen a whole lot of it, but I went to the Chik-Fil-A in Waterford on Friday and all the employees had the Blue & White T-shirts on. I thought that was pretty cool, but also kinda sad that it was the FIRST example of support I'd seen out in the community for the playoffs. On a semi-related note. I went to Briantos in Avalon to get a cheesesteak today, when I realized we were playing PHILLY. I said this realization out loud, and said that I should change my mind, since I didn't wanna jinx the Magic. The guy behind the counter said it wouldn't matter and the Magic were gonna lose regardless.... I walked out after he said that. I also decided that I wasn't gonna eat there until after the Magic/Sixers series.

I was gonna order anyway until the guy working there bad-mouthed the Magic. THAT was the reason I didn't patronize the place... It's a shame... They're FANTASTIC cheesesteaks... Not a big deal though I can wait another week or so...

that's cool about chick-fil-a employees. Yeah it sucks, we don't have the greatest fans. problem is most people that live in Orlando came from up north.

I was born in Orlando and I'm 26, and I will be a die hard Magic fan till death and always show my support.

I'd have done the same thing. I applaud your decision.

at least they werent offering tickets to our fans like Detroit. I hate Detroit, but I felt bad watching them play their last playoff game and having to listen to Lebron James chants... okay I didn't really feel bad
