Why I Don't Like The Warriors

(And not only because I'm a Cleveland fan)

Why I Don't Like The Warriors
JackSSF

In a world where the NBA is dominated by play makers, there’s a lot of competition and a lot of hatred flowing freely. As an avid Cleveland sports fan, I back the Cavs (even though basketball isn’t my favorite sport), so this might make my article a little biased. But, to be honest, I would likely hate the Golden State Warriors regardless of the freshly sprung rivalry between them and the Cavs. I’m a girl who hates cocky players and players who play dirty. I’ve always been a firm believer that you should let your playing and your talent do the talking for you, rather than running your mouth and being full of yourself (I know this is true of a lot of athletes, but bear with me). With that being said, let me tell you the top reasons that I hate the Warriors:

1. They’re really just a bunch of crybabies

One time, Golden State fans called Lebron James a crybaby, but I don’t know how they can throw that insult around when their team is chock full of crybabies. Zaza Pachulia, Draymond Green, Steph Curry, Kevin Durant… must I continue? Any time something goes awry or they don’t get their way, they whine like a teething baby. At least Lebron has embraced his crybaby status (check out Intel’s 360 replay commercial).

2. Zaza Pachulia’s attack on Iman Shumpert’s manhood

Did y’all watch game four this year? Did y’all watch Zaza punch Iman Shumpert in his man parts? If not, here’s a link to the video.

3. Draymond Green

Draymond Green is probably my least favorite basketball player in the world; he claims that he’s “a lot smarter than people think,” but I don’t know how smart a person who consistently aims for other men’s groins can really be. He also talks a lot of garbage on Cavs fans instead of just silencing them with his playing. Most of his comments are just rude, and he has a big mouth on the court but doesn’t always back it up. If you’re gonna talk a big game, you’ve gotta play it, too.

4. Steph Curry’s Mouthpiece

Put. The. Dang. Mouthpiece. In. Your. Mouth.

5. Steve Kerr

Okay, maybe I don’t hate the guy, but he really couldn’t bring himself to coach a game with some back pain? What’s that all about? I’ve had my back completely out of place, yet I’ve gone to work where I stood on my feet for eight hours a day and I didn’t complain about it. Suck it up.

I know that there are a ton of people who hate the Cavs, too, and that’s totally okay! Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but dang. I could never root for a team led by a baby-faced point guard (who doesn’t even go by his real name, which is Wardell, for reference) or ball-tapping backups. I just couldn’t. Don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot of talent on that team, but there’s also a lot of attitude. Anyway, see you next year, Warriors.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
