"Raptors fans, though, haven't gotten past it. Ford hasn't played since that night. And blogs and message boards have been lit up ever since with biting comments about both Horford and the Hawks in anticipation of Friday's contest."
Here's one of his quotes you left out. Thing is, when I read Sekou Smith's article I got a funny feeling. So I visited the TOR boards to see if my feeling was right. It was.
The TOR boards are not "lit up with biting comments". I checked. They are actually very civil. The conversation was about whether or not they should boo. Vicious stuff there. Most said they'd not boo. Even the ones that said they'd boo, said they'd only boo a little boo emm bit.
Looks like Sekou is sensationalizing; trying to create something where there is nothing. It seems a little inflammatory as well. I just don't even understand why he would go there. The fans he was alluding to actually seem to be of the opinion that Al is a good guy.
I'm thinking about taking this to Smith's blog, but I could get in big trouble talking bad about SS.
Really just think it's cheap journalism and that he could easily have come up with something better than that.
I really like the little bit on Al with Cheryl Miller. He's going to be a star.
Agree 100% here. I was a little dissapointed to read this from Sekou who usually does his homework.
When the foul happened, I thought we are going to have to deal with the "crazy Raptor fans." That wasn't the case, most of them were very civil and even more were just getting a little emotional after seeing the play. I don't think there is any issue at all now.
