This isn't an emotional response to the inexcusable performance on Sunday. This isn't about being anti-Curtin. This isn't about the downward direction of this season's club. I'm not ignoring the loss of Maurice Edu and Vincent Nogueira as bona fide reasons for mediocrity. This isn't about style or tactics or the inability to change them, ever (well, ok, that last one is a fib).

This is about America. This is about Ellis Island. This is about ships coming in. This is about motherhood and apple pie, the American Dream and free markets. This is about living in the land of opportunity.
