My 6 year old came home singing this, which he picked up at school. I guess theres a clapping game that goes with it. I enjoyed the regional variations in the reddit thread.

I wonder if you guys have encountered any similar spoken word things (or other things) that varied greatly by region?
@approxinfinity I don’t think people are losing the ability to be impartial but it is certainly less valued in our current environment. With everything being about money you’d think being impartial and open to everyone would be ideal but advertisers have figured out is that targeted advertising is so much more bang for the buck than a broad appeal.
@dylans I think you’re right that true impartiality is pretty much impossible but people can get continually closer by examining those biases your pointed out and others.
Seems like impartiality is a choice that fewer are making. Take the recent tournament for example. Sports casters always strive to be impartial but Charles Barkley was purposefully not. It was well documented and celebrated. I personally also enjoyed watching him cheer on his alma mater as I do.
Similarly most “news” channels are abandoning the goal of impartiality for ratings. Passion sells. I think it’s more about the money than the tech. Technology is a tool that for the most part does what people want it to do. It could just as easily be used to create an environment supporting impartiality as it has been to take us where we are now.
@approxinfinity I think this is the best arguement from a KU fan - we were undefeated in Allen Fieldhouse this year; like most years. KU works hard to protect home court it would be nice if that was truly rewarded with home games instead of just a high seed.
10-16k is more people than go to many of the opening round games of the non traditional powers anyway.
Amazing player, but he didn’t spend 3 years in college and almost 2 seasons away from the league to, I guess, play baseball. I wish Lebron had gone to college, KU of course, just to see what he would’ve done.
@nwhawkfan I don’t know if this was a joke, but I saw where someone asked Kevin what he was wearing and he answered, Weavers, Mass St. Lawrence KS. Pretty cool!
Mercy, tragic - -things like this can really effect a person too. - -Coach Boeheim has to live with this tragedy the rest of his life- - -just sad for everybody concerned. - Time heals. – - tragic accident - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
But, if they provide everything, does that include a special Jack-in-the-box cadaver to get the crowd interested?
I did not see a disclaimer such as “Corpse not included.”
@Kcmatt7 Well I have an Idea as to why the NCAA isn’t saying anything til april, MONEY. If some of these top programs are gonna get hammered, they don’t want the tournament numbers to suffer at this point. That to me is the interesting point, several top teams have players or former players on several lists that have been released. It would bad business for brackets not to include Kansas, Duke, UK and Arizona. Personally I think Arizona is trying to find the right fall guy by firing all these assistants. Whats crazy is it hasn’t hurt their recruiting as it appears that it hurt ours. Right now Arizona has the number 1 class for next year.
