UNC has been overtaken these past few months by a force that consumes everyone who goes here. What is that force? Basketball. And today, after months and months of basketballing, UNC is done.
Well, I say screw basketball. I don't need people taking up the lounges with their on-duty but secretly off-duty RA's pretending to work but really screaming at the television while I'm trying to do homework. I don't need crazy fans tattooing 5's on their wrists, or wanting to transplant their own weak-ass wrists onto Kendall Marshall's. I don't need to hear about how everyone in class is depressed because we lost a game.
And this is just men's basketball. Why don't we pay attention to women's basketball? Why don't we get sad and upset when they lose, or rush Franklin when they win against Duke. The sexism inherent in the way we look at our school's basketball is horrible. The women's basketball team deserves as much recognition as the men's basketball team. If we're going to be ridiculously annoying about sports, let's at least be ridiculously annoying about all sports.
I won't even get started on how we're a women's soccer school.
