I was going back and forth about whether or not to talk about something that I saw last week while watching the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship (remember this is March Madness). After a few conversations with myself (yes, myself!), I decided that I did want to talk about it…

About a week and a half ago, the men’s basketball team from Morgan State University were getting spanked (beaten real good) by the University of Oklahoma’s men’s team. Now all of us basketball fans know that when one team is crushing another there can be a lot of emotionally-driven dumb plays. But this was just uncalled for (at least I think so)…

Need I say anything else?… I think I will. How can someone commit a play that can potentially end another peer’s playing career? When the Morgan player was later asked about his actions, he sorta downplayed the entire thing. I think what I like best was Griffin’s (the player who was flipped) response… which was just to simply get up and walk away. His actions were louder than words.

I have a lot of feelings that I won’t bore you with, but I will say that Griffin’s actions reinforce to me that everything is not worth reacting to.
