Why the Blazers organization sucks


Kristin and I went to all exciting Blazers/Raptors game last night and watched some pretty terrible basketball. They were down 20 points most of the game and I don't even know what the final score was.

Anyway, the start of the 3rd quarter we moved from our nosebleed seats down to a lower level with one of Kristin's co-workers and a buddy of his. We were about 15 rows from the floor and the sections was about 35-40% full, at best. We sat down in what was clearly open seats. About 15 minutes later, a worker started ticket checking people and asking them to move. She did this to us (at the request of two 20-something girls behind) us. How we were bothering them is a mystery to me. Anyway, I asked why we had to move. She said because we didn't purchase those tickets. Obviously, no one bought the tickets! So I cannot truly understand why a more loathed franchise like the Blazers would continue to alienate fans. To make matters worse, the girls behind use heckled us with "some of us actually paid for our seats." What kind of person cares about that shit? I bet these girls, who by the way were quite unattractive, are they type who go to a bar, get drunk and start dancing on tables, drawing attention to themselves in a thinly veiled attempt to bolster their self-confidence. They know their ugly, but if they act cheap or like assholes, they feel good about themselves.

So bravo frontline Blazer employees for continuing to give me more reasons not to support your piss-poor organization.

Hey Erik,

Good to see things life is good in Oregon except for that Roux place and the Blazers. This blog is one of the best ways to kill time when eaching lunch at my desk I have found to date. By the way, the NJ nee Brooklyn Nets still could use your support. Also, Rutgers may go to a bowl this year thus hell will officially freeze over some time around Dec. 20th. J. Sheridan
