Aggressions, macro and micro

Gil Thorp, 3/9/23

We all of course remember that time that Mudlark basketball star Ted Pearse was living in a homeless shelter and the fans of one of their rivals taunted him about it by dressing up as hobos, but I feel like we've mostly forgotten that Ted's own teammates showed their support (?) for him by wearing masks so that they didn't "catch homelessness." Anyway, it looks like one of our current Mudlarks is, like Ted, in an economically precarious position, but sadly (for us, and, maybe for him?) the days of ostentatious Valley Conference theatricality are long behind us, so all we have is the new assistant coach blurting out "Damn, son, your shoes are all fucked up, like a poor person's."
