For those of you not in the know, April the Giraffe is an internet sensation. People have been watching and waiting for her to give birth. The Clippers are just like her.
April the Giraffe is a national treasure. Well, sort of. Since February 22nd, Animal Adventure Park has been streaming live video of April, who is pregnant with her 4th calf. They claimed everyone could watch April give birth and the internet took notice. (The stream can be found here.) Yet, here we are almost a full month later and there is no baby. Watching this stream gave me plenty of time to think:
The LA Clippers are just like April the Giraffe.
Much like April was something fun to watch at the start, the Clippers have been a blast over the past few seasons. There’s been flash and a level of fun to watching their games. However, they always end up leaving me asking “Why did I bother watching this whole year?” It’s become a cycle of disappointment.
Year after year, I sit through the off-season and am told to forget what I know, this will be the time that a championship finally comes. I get my hopes up when something like a 14-2 start to the season happens, just to be let down when the Clippers play uninspired ball as we near playoffs.
Now, as I sit here at my desk and read that zookeepers claim April is close to giving birth, I see the parallels more clearly.
April raises her tail and spreads her legs. Is this it!? Is this finally the moment we’ve been waiting for!?
No. It’s just shit.
