While I find the concept of moral victories in a business as cutthroat as professional sports to be largely bullshit, I do have to admit that it's nice to see that the Bulls have decided to start somewhere. Seeing as they are a team that's as terrible as its organization is dysfunctional, that "somewhere" wasn't about to be in the win column. Consider this for perspective, the last common goal the Bulls' roster rallied together to achieve was forming a mutiny against their drill sergeant of an interim coach and boycotting practice a day after losing by half-a-hundred. When you look at it that way, coming together in a desperate effort to deny an entitled fanbase free fast food tacos, regardless of a loss being inevitable at the time, is a pretty huge step in the right direction. Who knows, maybe things are finally starting to look up for a franchise that was once the pride of Chicago, even if it's mostly because the sight lines from rock bottom are rather limited. If they ruin another fast food promotion or two they might actually learn to like competing for 48 whole minutes. Just imagine how many otherwise uncompetitive single digit losses they could be capable of if they no longer needed the snobbish faces of those that were a little too excited for the mediocre Mexican offered to them by a marketing ploy as motivation. The sky isn't exactly the limit, but the occasional gasp of breath during a season-long drowning might not be entirely out of the question.
