Maybe its something to do with the surfeit
of testosterone one’s supposed to need to
compete efficiently - or are we gilding their
already ragged lily; there’s this plenitude o’
evidence an event said to be spontaneous
was anything but - had been painstakingly
planned an extravagant retaliation, & must
seem unrehearsed, yet just didn’t ring true
So thus an on-court blue between Filipino
basketball players and their Boomer rivals
threw cat and bag out o’ court; Philippines
coach Chot Reyes had exhorted his mob t’
hit somebody, put somebody on their arse,
intending they reacted together, punching
their way t' infamy, but not just players as
Filipino officials and spectators joined the
ruckus in its mad free-for-all too; luckily it
proved fruitless as diversion for the game
already lost - but the cost to basketball is
unrecoverable - tho’ the players will pay…
