Iverson to miss next two games
Philadelphia 76ers guard Allen Iverson will miss tonight’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves and then tomorrow night in Toronto against the Raptors as he tends to his ill daughter.
We have no clue what his plans are for the All-Star game in Dallas, where he was voted a starter (100% correctly I might add. Very deserving). Iverson has missed the last three games – all Sixers wins – and is scheduled to return to the lineup on Tuesday at home against the Heat.
Here is something that is puzzling to OTR, and we are not claiming that I know the severity of her sickness. We really do hope the poor girl isn’t seriously sick. But, if her illness is so bad that Iverson needs to be with her, how can they possibly know that she’ll be ok in time for Tuesday night’s game against the Heat? And if they know she is going to be ok, why does he need to be there with her now? If she’s going to be fine, let the home front take care of her and you get out and play.
We aren’t saying that parents don’t want to be with their children when they are sick, we completely understand that. But, tons of professional athletes have children and they all get sick to varying degrees from time to time. Why is Allen the only one who continues to miss time because of it?
Our problem is that this isn’t the first time he’s used this excuse. And it’s not the first time he’s had some kind of excuse for why he was or wasn’t somewhere or whatever (like, say, one of his own charity events that he was late too because of traffic on the Walt Whitman Bridge?). It’s shame, his daughter could be truly sick and we hope that isn’t the case. But with Allen, he’s just lost the benefit of the doubt on this stuff.
To those who say he needs not apologise, I say this, he made millions out of the public eye, we own him, his choice, he wants out of the deal, go away, easy. But a lot of kids looked up to him on TV showing how wonderful he supposedly is. He does owe an apolog, but no explanation, reason is simple, power and opportunity went to his head and was more important to him than those who loved him, makes him a pretty lousy guy. And probably better he goes away. But dllars talk and sponsors will forgive, because they will do anything for a buck

You know, no other country is lax about allowing illegal immigrants to stay.. Europe is extremely hard to dupe, and it’s hard to even get citizenship in a lot of EU countries… but once again America is full of bleeding hearts who would rather band-aid the problem by sticking up for these people instead if suggesting attacking the problem head on and helping them make their own countries better

I received 1 st loans when I was not very old and that aided me a lot. Nevertheless, I need the financial loan as well.

I think the info talked about in your subject is awesome. I am working on a basic research about the matter and your journal definitely answered a bunch of concerns I had. I’m doing an essay and school assignment for my English class and pretty much studying a lot of personal blogs to review.

Hey I only wanted to let you know, I actually love the written content on your web page. But I’m utilising Chromium on a unit running version 9.04 of Ubuntu thus look and feel are not quite enjoyable. Not a powerful deal, I can still essentially look over the posts and look for information, but just wanted to let you know concerning that. The navigation bar is sort of difficult to use while using config I am running. Keep up the superb job!

When I recently discovered your internet site and started following along, I had been thinking I’d post my very very first comment. I don’t know just what to say except that I genuinely liked reading through. Great writings. I’ll continue to keep on visiting this site a lot more generally.

Hi, I’m a professional pianist and I’ve built a stupid rule that allows me to take a 15 min break every single 1 hour of practicing. Now, each break We’ve to accomplish anything totally different, so mostly I go to Google and seek for that suggested last hour web site. It can be fun to do anything different and to learn about new things every and every day. BTW, now I’m playing. List. Your site is great, I wish I could remain longer, but I have to have back to play… Following time I’ll arrive to visit again.
