There is rejoicing over planned documentary ‘I Hate Christian Laettner’
ESPN made an announcement Tuesday that was music to the ears of many college basketball fans.
First the news:
It's the start of college basketball so why not announce the #30for30 "I Hate Christian Laettner." Coming this March: http://t.co/BiAw9MAayO
— ESPN Films 30 for 30 (@30for30) November 18, 2014Yes, former Duke star Christian Laettner was disliked by a legion of fans during his playing days.
So ... it’s no surprise that the reaction on Twitter was that of joy. This is a sampling of what people said (well, those tweets that didn’t include curse words).
