As
Louisville continues their run in the tournament, there is one name you cannot
miss. Kevin Ware, the player that literally snapped his shin in front of
millions. As gruesome as an injury it is, I think the media is over playing the
whole situation.
Yes, I feel
bad for Ware to an extent. Remember this is a 20ish year old that is going to
school for free and is a king on campus. To be honest this doesn’t directly affect
the team in any way. It might help them physiologically since they watched as a
teammates leg came out of his skin. But as I watched their game against Wichita
State, the announcers kept saying “this is where not having Ware will hurt them”
and honestly it frustrated me. He was there 8th man. Yes, 8th,
so there were 2 others to come off the bench before him and he averaged 2
points a game. He honestly didn’t contribute to the team that much. Also I don’t
like how Coach P. is handling it. In an interview he said “now we have to play
a walk on”. That is stupid, you are a number one seed you have a good team. And
imagine how that kid feels when you refer to him as a walk on. And the best
part is that the walk on had 6 points compared to Ware’s averaged 2 points.
The
thing that really bothered me was Twitter. Everyone was tweeting “#pray4ware”
which is so stupid. He is an athlete that got injured, it happens. Meanwhile soldiers
fighting for our freedom day daily but we don’t every pray for them. I think we
need to get our priorities straight.
