Oklahoma Hatred
Anyone else hate seeing these type of comments being made about Oklahoma? It’s likely due to how good we’ve been, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen any other state be dragged through the mud like Oklahoma has been the last two years. Even during the Westbrook era (2016-2019) when we weren’t winning as much, I’d see negative comments not only about OKC, but the state as a whole and the citizens that reside in it.
States like Arizona, Tennessee, Texas, and Louisiana are very similar states. Each ranks extremely low in education, and in healthcare, yet you never see a peep about it, even during Phoenix’s and Mavs’ finals runs. What makes Oklahoma such an easy target? The state is beautiful, you can do just as much in OKC that you can do in any other mid-sized city and Oklahoma has some of the nicest people in the country. It’s discouraging to see these comments on a daily basis.
