JP Macura’s Gator Chomp Was Harmless
I’m late to the party, I know this, but I would be remiss if I didn’t talk about JP Macura’s gator chomp at the end of the Xavier-Wisconsin game. Macura is the biggest heel in college basketball this year not named Grayson Allen. And he showed it off on Thursday night by dropping a gator chomp signal in the direction of the Badgers student section. All of the Badgers fans including the FS1 broadcast dropped the whole ‘Stay classy’ line with Macura, which is ridiculous. Kids should have fun even if they are assholes.
Here’s the thing about this guy, he’s a dickhead. I’m not a fan of Macura. He is a thorn in Marquette’ side, and I love when the Golden Eagles can kick his pale ass. That said, I’m all for people making sports more fun. Why do we have to be so buttoned up when it comes to our athletes? I hate that people want them to be robots. Macura had some fun with Badgers student section that called him an ‘Asshole’ repeatedly throughout the second half. What kind of double standard is this? Like if you dish it out, you have to expect it to come back to you.
Here’s a little story for you… I taunted one of the better players from a rival high school and when he got to the bench, the player made a motion to his stomach calling me fat. It was fucking awesome because I knew I ended up in his head. This is part of the experience with high school and college sports. Let’s not worry about class and just have a good time.
