More Snubs!!! Here are Gilbert's Allstar Kicks!!! Positively Presidential!!! But as WaPo reports, Adidas sponsorship is trying to lowball Gilbert, which is something Jahidi tried to do all the time, offering one pack of cigs for a treadmill-trained pitbull when Gilbert was asking for two:
For his entire 9 minutes 51 seconds on the court, Arenas covered the words "Adidas" on his red, white and blue sneakers with pieces of tape that had the No. 0 written in red ink. "We're in a negotiation period right now and, just like everything else, I'm at the bottom end of negotiations," Arenas said after scoring one point in the game. "So, I decided, 'Hey, I'll leave the three stripes, but I'll cover up the Adidas.' . . . A silent protest."
There's been so much silent protesting in the Wizards World over the years:
>>>2002: Pissed off that Abe Pollin stil hasn't sold him the Wizards and the MCI Center -- the only things that make money -- Wash Capitals owner Ted Leonsis sits alone in the suite he rents from Abe and eats 37 baskets of Executive Nachos during a late season 1-1 tie vs. the Nashville Predators.
>>>1998: Angered by being busted for having a blunt in his ash tray, Chris Webber refuses to speak with media and writes "SLAVE" across his face and "FREE LI'L MACE" across his penis.
>>>2001: After being denied bail in Judge Jahidi's kangaroo court, Steve Blake shoves a dirty sock in his mouth and writes "More cigarettes, less pain" on a dry-erase board.
Open the comments and tell us about the Wizards Silent Protests that you have heard about over the years!!!
