It’s Friday which means we’re not regularly programmed here at CarlsBlogs.com. As a reminder, it’s every Monday-Thursday from 8am to 6:30pm with Friday reserved for volunteering and doing shit around my house aka homesteading.
That said, I have to take a quick break from building my Goat House on this gorgeous Friday morning to tell you this is objectively sad.
That’s Oumar Ballo from the Republic of Mali in Northwest Africa. He plays for Indiana and he’s upset with the amount of death threats that come from Indiana basketball fans.
Now let me ask you this. Do you know anything about Mali?
Or northwest Africa?
Or armed conflict and military coups?
Let me be brief and say it’s a hellhole filled with military takeovers including Russian paramilitary groups.
And while there’s certainly worse places on earth, I can guarantee you Mali doesn’t grade too favorably when you break it down.
And even so – a guy who escaped Mali to find a better life in America playing sports is actually REALLY UPSET with people from Bloomington Indiana.
Do you know how mentally fucked up you have to be to make an impact on a Malian refugee basketball player?
And from the sounds of it, he wants to go home and take up arms before he embraces the Indiana student section ever again and that’s actually crazy.
Not figuratively or symbolically crazy. I’m talking full blown I BOUGHT YOU A GUN RACK FOR OUR ANNIVERSARY levels of crazy.
In Bloomington Indiana though it’s completely normal and that’s the point of the blog.
Poor Oumar Bello.
I spent some time dating an IU graduate before and it was hell on earth. You would’ve thought she went to Harvard and studied abroad at Oxford. I tell ya. Those Indiana people are so fucking delusional you’d think it was anything more than just a solid Big Ten school in the middle of the cornfields.
That’s my biggest problem with Indiana. They’re no different than Illinois or Wisconsin or Michigan and yet they still think they’re the top dog in conference. They really think it’s a special experience with better academics and parties and better looking people.
That’s the worst thing. Instead of just being cool like the rest of us, they’re impossibly arrogant.
Even in comparison to Michigan – previously thought to be impossible – Indiana comes out #1 in being the most arrogant slap dick fuck faces.
And honestly – I knew that before the Malian refugee was getting death threats. But this just confirms it.
Fuck Indiana.
You guys suck!!
PS – I actually like Indiana guys a little bit. Particular WBR but even so. FUCK YOU INDIANA!
