The Chicago Cubs miss the playoffs again and continue their 104 year championship

In my spare time I try to be as creative as possible, but I cannot compete with the creativity that banterous players bring to their sport. For example, what would basketball be like if the NBA never experienced Shaq?

Shaquille O'Neal was one of the most dominant centers to ever step foot in the NBA, but what makes Shaq unique is his once in a lifetime personality. The guy has even broke the glass and the basketball hoop itself a couple of times in his career when he went for a dunk.

Shaq represents a good form of banterism, while just recently the new manager of the Miami Marlins, Ozzie Guillen, stupidly made positive comments about Cuban dictator Fidel Castro.

Guillen was given a five game suspension for his comments towards Castro’s actions. A lot of the fanbase of the Marlins are Cuban Americans and they all despise Castro, so all of this negativity towards Guillen is understandable. Many of the fans now want Guillen to be fired and he has only coached 5 games with the team.  

He allegedly has allergies towards grass, which seems to be a bit odd considering that the sport that he plays for a living is constantly surrounded by it.

(This is my personal favorite) Last summer in a friendly against the LA Galaxy, Balotelli attempted to make ESPN’s Top 10 Plays for that day when he tried to score a backheel and completely missed the net. This was considered disrespectful by Man City’s manager Robert Mancini and immediately subbed him off.

And as adults always tell kids to stand up to bullying, Balotelli responded towards all this hate he was getting by after scoring a goal, revealed from under his kit which red, “WHY ALWAYS ME?” But where is the bad side of Balotelli? Well the most recent sports related incident was when Manchester City faced off against Arsenal. Balotelli was given a 3 match ban for receiving two yellow cards in the game, which could possibly turn into 9 games for his tackle against Arsenal midfielder Alex Song.
