Hello everyone. Instead of me doing my usual stuff, I decided to make an outside the sports blog instead. Here we go.
Outside of Sports
Earlier today, a tragedy occurred in Boston, Massachusetts where 2 people died and many were left injured as a bomb blast went off during the Boston Marathon near the finish line. This was also a holiday in the city of Boston called "Patriot's Day". Here is a video to share more information:
UPDATE: According to Associated Press' Twiiter: "RT @AP: BREAKING: Boston police: At least 3 people killed in marathon bombing"
That video is from Bloomberg Television Network. Various news sources have covered this incident throughout the day, and was trending throughout social media. Luckily, there was medical staff at the marathon site to treat the people who were in danger.
Now, what I want to say for the people of New York City and Boston to put their differences aside. What I mean is that there has been a rivalry between the two cities when it comes to bragging rights. This rivalry also has an impact in sports such as the Yankees/Red Sox rivalry of MLB, Jets/Patriots of NFL, Knicks/Celtics of NBA, and to a small extent the NY Rangers/Bruins in the NHL. Out of respect, please keep the derogatory comments to yourself and say nothing at all. Instead, show support for each other since Boston has given us support and respect during 9/11, and we must give support in return.
For those who follow the NBA, we all know that the Knicks and Celtics will face each other in the 1st round of the 2012-13 NBA Playoffs. Keep in mind, this is just a game and we shouldn't take this seriously. Wins and losses in sports can be replaced, but lives can't. What I recommend to the teams of the Knicks and Celtics (if they are reading this) is when they meet on Saturday, embrace each other before the game and not trash talk at all. They need positive messages in this time.
Pray for Boston everyone
