I was sitting here with my man B Lee watching college hoops on Saturday and during halftime caught the highlight, or low-lights of the scrap between Xavier and Cincinnati.
They then cut into the press conference live and we got to see Tu Holloway and his teammate at the podium. Right after they spoke we both looked at each other and knew, they were going to catch hell for their comments.
While it shocked me that they did not walk up to podium and be extra apologetic, I pleasantly shocked. Tu and his teamate were guilty of being brutally honest. Cinci's players were popping off at the mouth all game and they werent going to be bullied.
TV talking heads and holier-than-thou journalist alike clung on the the phrase "we have a bunch of gangstas in the locker room" like old racist hold on the racist term "race card". Conveniently ignoring not just the context, but his words directly after.
