Positivity, People!

I watch Sportscentre and I wonder if the media likes to stir up drama or if what they say actually means something. Granted, my dream is to be apart of this media world, but it’s something to talk about.

Today in particular, the city of Toronto went into frenzy because the Leafs didn’t give their traditional game salute after they won against The Tampa Bay Lighting. Was it the Leaf fans to make a big deal out of this or was it the media? Is this snub something that is actually worth discussing? Was it a snub at all?

Here’s what I think;The leafs have been through a rough 10 days. After the Boston beat down, things went downhill. But I mean, that’s classic leafs right? The loss to Pittsburg wasn’t something to go crazy over, but after losing to Buffalo and Nashville in the fashion that they did, there was reason to worry.

Maybe the leafs made this gesture because they were frustrated with fans throwing jerseys on the ice. Maybe they were trying to make a point. I truly believe that the fans at the game last night went home happy because the team won, I don’t think the fact that they weren’t saluted at the end of the game was on their minds until they got home and saw that the media was talking about it and blowing it out of proportion.

But really, the city of Toronto right now should be discussing something much more positive. This of course being the Raptors. THE TEAM IS 10-2, LET’S BE HAPPY ABOUT THAT FOR A SECOND WHY DON’T WE!!!! Let go of the anguish that you feel about this supposed leafs snub (because really, who cares) and be excited about where we are as a city in the NBA. Not for anything, but this is big. Let’s rise together and be proud.
