I feel your outrage. Green was my color! I say we sue or something!
One of the long standing traditions at Spurs games is the regular running of the dots on the jumbotron. It's basically three different color computer animated dots that race around a track and randomly finish 1st-2nd-3rd. It's a fun little stunt as people cheer on their favorite color "dot". The always funny, "Please, no wagering on the race!" announcment that precludes the bit, is good for a laugh.
But what the has happened to it? Valero, which is growing in fame for turning every Diamond Shamrock "Corner store" into some gaudy sea-green/raspa vomit colored ice house has stuck it's nose somewhere it doesn't belong. THEY CHANGED THE GREEN DOT INTO THE SEA_GREEN/RASPA BARF COLOR! AND MORE HORRIFICALLY, THE BLUE DOT IS NOW YELLOW!!! AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
What fun is the bit now? How can you turn to the person next to you and say, "I bet the sea-green/raspa upchuck dot wins!" How can you chant, "Go sea-green/raspa puke dot, sea-green/raspa hurl dot, sea-green/raspa chunks dot!" It doesn't work. It never will work. It's blasphemy! Change it back Valero, change it back now! Don't just toss aside tradition for your ugly company colors. Don't ruin a good thing!
I know you'll do the right thing!

I knew things were going bad once they added in the "pit stop".
I thought it was just my eyes
Yet another time-honored sports tradition defiled by corporate whoring.
I am sad for the future generations who will not know the splendor that was the dot races.

What did they call it before? I forget.
There wasn't one to begin with. Sad...truly sad.
But there was last year right? Didn't the dots stop to fill up before the final lap?
Oh...I don't know about last year...I haven't seen them in awhile, so they may have changed.
Gee, I didn't think the Dot Races meant so much... I will talk to Director of guest services and see what we can do...

I think you told me... but where in the SBC Center do you work again?
Legal dept/Administrative Office.
Too bad you don't work in the suites office.. that is right across from me. =)
That is some right there, blue was always my homie. Sad to see him in the unemployment line.
I'm a blue dot kinda guy myself and consider this an outrage! Feel free to donate my vBookie cash to the effort to Restore Our Dots.
Y'all are lucky they only changed the colors, and didn't turn the dot races into the "Hummer H3 Races by Ancira Cadillac/Saab/Hummer" with H3s in "Arctic Blue," "Volcanic Red," and "Longmont Green."
I'm all about the red. Can't go wrong with red.
I submitted a guest service request for the DOTS to go back to their normal colors. Let's cross our fingers and let's hope they change them soon.
Who'd have thought people would be so concerned about Dots...
Me, too.
Do they not do the dot races at Canuckistani hockey games? What do they have? Maple leaf races? Those curling things? Moose?It's time's like this that I wish we never sold the Grizz. At least you all have a "dot-race" to watch
How many of those $10 margaritas did you have?
SBCgirl, Can't you tell them that they don't have the rights play, "Y'all Ready For This?"
PLEASE????
Sigh. You're my boy, Blue.
It amazes me to this day that people cheer for a particular dot in the dot races. The first time I saw it, I was flabbergasted. Now I just try to ignore that segment.
But you are right, shouting "Teal" or "Mus " isn't the same as "Green" or "Blue".
the dot races...I'll bet I have lost $500 over the years on those damn things...I NEVER pick the right color...
