I thought it was sad how many people were criticizing UNC coach Roy Williams as though he were a traitor for wearing a KU shirt at the title game while sitting behind their bench.
Frankly, I thought it was a sincere, quality gesture to recognize his old ties and support them in the final game. |

They say...people will resort to saying things they know aren't true when they are desperate.

I actually created Fergie in part to attack you Crit without you knowing it was me. Some of your takes were so lame that I almost came at you as myself a few time... |

| The timing of it probably wasn't the greatest, I'm sure there would be less outrage if KU hadn't have run UNC off the court two days prior. |

I have seen Roy Williams in the stands at many of the UNC sporting events. Even at the College World Series. He is a great supporter. This talk is all a bunch of nonsense.
If you you're gonna get beat, don't you want it to be against the eventual National Champion? |

But it wasn't mostly UNC fans I heard whining... |

| KU fans? I would guess that to be a minority if that is true. Most KU fans respect RW, from what I've seen. |

Not per se, just in general a lot of fans and even a few radio/TV talking heads that had no vested interest either way. That's what was most surprising. I'd think that the bulk of non-biased fans in terms of vested interest in either college wouldn't be so upset over it...in fact, I think most would think along the lines I do on this incident.
And, yes, it's a minority even in that case I think...I am just surprised at the number I did hear though. |

People take the importance of sports way too seriously.
A guy with a sincere tie to the Kansas program wore a Kansas shirt. That's what happened. That's it.
If you get worked up over something that innocent and irrelevant, you need a hobby.

Well, if you think about it, the sticker was probably an afterthought. He was walking into the arena, he saw an old KU buddy who handed him a KU sticker, and he politely stuck it on his lapel.
Now had he worn a KU shirt, that would have been premeditated treason.
KU Sticker = good guy
KU Shirt = high treason |

I don't think I'd do well in the public eye. Because if I were Roy Williams, and innocently/sincerely wore that sticker to show support for his former team, and everyone made a big deal out of it --- I'd go to town. I'd show up at the ESPYs with my face painted with a big K and U on it. I'd go to speaking engagements wearing a Danny Manning jersey. I'd take out ads in USA TODAY, saying "CONGRATS JAYHAWKS!!!"
Maybe that's why I hate the media so much. I always imagine how I'd respond to their petty criticisms, and blowing things out of proportion. |

| Much to do about nothing as far as I'm concerned. The guy is a class act. His team was out, he was cheering for his former team where he spent 15 years of his professional life. The media can just "suck it"! |

Eh, before the KU-UNC game there was a great deal of animosity displayed by the KU fans regarding Roy. The NC and Roy showing support for KU did a lot to heal the wounds. |

It's such a non-story, but the talking heads need something to justify their waste of oxygen.
It's situations like this that make me glad to be out of the biz... |
