There was a movie years ago called Passing Glory "based" (loosley)on a high school basketball game between two New Orleans high schools. One school was white and the other African American. Well I went to a real game a few years back between the two schools and the black school was the undefeated state champs rated in USA today etc but Jesuit, the now mostly white team started pulling away in the last minute or so. Now I was one of about 25 Jesuit fans to brave going in the other school's gym so the overflowing crowd now mad started chanting "lock da dows" - the last minute dragged on with fouls etc and the crowd got hotter and started with "get your coat,hat and leave." That was my cue and my friends and I slithered through the enraged crowd fleeing and vowed never to return no matter how intrigueing the game may be.

They just hate losing to white guys in basketball and boxing Sean. However, they are beginning to get used to it!
