Sportsmanship?\u00a0 What\u2019s that?<\/a>\u00a0 NBA legend and current Georgetown Hoyas coach, Patrick Ewing opines that the tradition of the post-game handshake line be eliminated<\/span><\/p>\n In all fairness, I don\u2019t really disagree with Ewing.\u00a0 This whole discussion came into question after an incident where former player-now coach of Michigan, Juwan Howard took a swipe at a Wisconsin assistant after losing to the Badgers, it\u2019s probably not the worst idea in the world to keep two teams apart from each other after a game ends, especially since society today is full of sore losers who can\u2019t handle defeat.<\/span><\/p>\n It’s an antiquated custom that creates more room for conflict than it does at preventing it, even if it is an attempt to curry the notion of sportsmanship in the game.\u00a0 It\u2019s the kind of thing that\u2019s practiced at the junior, junior, kids level, but considering basketball is still originally a children\u2019s game, I understand why they try to force it onto participants even at a level as high as D-I collegiate.<\/span><\/p>\n But this post comes to fruition because it\u2019s Patrick Ewing who came out and said this, and it\u2019s just such a low-hanging fruit easy opportunity to clown on Ewing, because as many players have proven throughout history, it\u2019s just so easy to dunk on him.<\/span><\/p>\n And as the subject of the post said, of course Patrick Ewing wants to get rid of the handshake line \u2013 since he\u2019s taken the reigns at Georgetown, the Hoyas have gone 26-48 over four years in the Big East, so that means Ewing and his players have had to go through a whole lot of post-game handshake lines as the losing squad.\u00a0 It\u2019s no wonder Ewing wants to get rid of the handshake line, because he\u2019s been getting owned way more than doing the ownage, and he\u2019s tired of it.<\/span><\/p>\n The funny thing is that in doing the cursory fact-checking for this post, I had no idea that Georgetown actually won the Big East conference championship last year.\u00a0 The Hoyas went 7-9 in conference play, but then used a Game Genie during the conference tournament and ended up winning the whole fucking thing from the 8th<\/sup> seed.\u00a0 That was four straight critical games in which Ewing was actually on the winning side of the handshake line, and fairly recently, so I\u2019m surprised to see that he\u2019s still against it.<\/span><\/p>\n Oh shit, but then I realized what I was looking at wasn\u2019t factoring in this<\/em> season, and at the time I\u2019m writing this, the once vaunted Georgetown Hoyas, are an abysmal 0-16 in conference play this year.\u00a0 FFfffffuuuck, no wonder Ewing is completely over the handshake line, after all.\u00a0 Poor guy just can\u2019t stop getting owned, he might want to consider leaving the industry if he ever wants to stop getting dunked on.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
