Walkout Thoughts

Gary Mercado February 8th, 2010 (Visited 386 times) Tags: , ,

I imagine a conversation between fans at the game TnT walked out of would've gone like this:

Fan 1: Pare oemgee! Nagwalk-out ang TnT!
Fan 2: Oo nga pre!
(Crowd hoots and gasps in collective silence as they watch the proceedings.)
Fan 1: Wow! (sits down)
Fan 2: Oo nga.
Fan 1: O pano, uwi na tayo.
Fan 2: Oo nga. Malayo pa ang (insert far away place here).

And the 'far away place' is what gets me. Because that could be as far as up North: Novaliches, Bulacan, maybe even Pampanga, and down South as far as Paranaque, Cavite and Laguna. It's a Ginebra game remember, whole families prepare for days for trips to watch them live.

Then again, going all that way just to watch a walkout is ok? I mean, we watch sports partly because we like the drama, and there's nothing so dramatic as a team deciding to walk out, right?

But what if it catches on, and it becomes an 'option' to walk out a game when you think things aren't going your way?

Heck, kids watch these games too. What if it catches on and we raise a generation of people who just walk out of situations?

I dunno about this walkout business. I think this is one of those cases when you just gotta remember that after all that's said and done, this really is just a game of guys running around in colorful shorts and underwear chasing after a red ball.
