It was really awful. It was a band who played a song part of which excessively made fun of Oden's injuries. It was really mean. It's one thing to say you hate the Blazers but to pile on a guy who has done nothing wrong is classless. Did anyone else see this?
No way they would show that on TV but I'm guessing their just bitter for loosing Amar'e, and for that, they got punked
It's one thing for a bunch of half-wit message board types to make fun of a player for being injured, but the game ops staff? That's pretty low rent.
Seriously? Speed if you have any more info you can forward to my step mother, I'd appreciate it. She's a season ticket holder with the Suns and serves on the Teach for America board with Sarver. She occasionally sits with him at games. I'd like to send her anything I can about this incident and pass on the displeasure of the Blazer fan base at this cheap shot. Since the Blazers are her second favorite team, I know she'd pass it on to him.

That 'slinky' reminds me of the song Popcorn (by Hot Butter....or the song Hot Butter by Popcorn), and that dog from the original Battle Star Galatica. And that fat girl from Maury.
The lyrics included putting down Oden for his injuries and said something like "where's he now? Lost for the season again" almost as if Oden were some jerk who deserved it. Then it continued, not letting up,and said something about him being all "old and achy." Also- get this- I'm San Antonio today, at the ticket office, the box of tickets had a sign on it that said "12/12/10 San Antonio Spurs vs Portland Jail Blazers." How tacky is THAT?
