Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Monday, March 31, 2003

Following up on my earlier post about the Mendiolas.... a bunch of folks on the SoCal Women's Hoops forum have a lot to say on the subject.

Here: "Anyone who watched these repulsive creeps while the girls played in high school can't be surprised by this. It's a fitting end. Remember, they tried to beat up Diana Taurasi's father in Santa Barbara. When D took a cheap shot elbow to the throat from Gianconda, they began chanting "Goodbye" while she lied motionless on the floor."

Here: "[A]ren't these guys the same ones who practically kicked the crap out of an opposing fan at the Santa Barbara Tournament a few years ago?"

Here: "These guys have been no good since they came to El Toro highschool from Fountan Valley high.They have been thugs and have been a black eye on Lake Forest since they moved there."

Here: "No one has ever stepped up to challenge the behavior of this family of thugs. From HS to college ... their behavior has been praised as that of a supportive family. Their tactics of intimidating the girl's opponentsand over the top behavior was not only allowed but praised."
