AlotofDon is in A LOT of TROUBLE!


               Don Allado, Center of the Barako Bull Energy, took to twitter his frustrations over their 99-93 defeat against the Powerade Tigers. He blasted the PBA via twitter that the league has "little credibility left."

Here are some of the things mentioned in his twitter account: 
"I’m the guy that says what others can’t.#PBA games are fixed. They control who is in & who is out. It’s a disgrace to be in this league."


"I am bitter about losing. Not to Powerade, but to #PBA . In my opinion, this leaguehas little credibility left."

This came to the attention of PBA Commissioner Chito Salud, held a press conference and stated that Allados accusations were baseless and Unfounded.

"I just want to stress to the fans, these accusations saying that the PBA is rigged, the PBA is fixed, that we control who goes to the semis and to the finals and who becomes the eventual champion... baseless," he said. "Unfounded. And certainly could only come from someone who has lost his mind and is clearly a sore loser."

The Commissioner was clearly disappointed with Allado's accusations, stating that he, Allado, not only hurt the League but the referees, players and all the people who have protected the PBA's reputation. Salud called him a "sore loser" and said that Allado's rant in Twitter was unacceptable and was very "unsportmanlike". 

Salud mentioned that there will be sanctions implemented regarding Allado's actions. But the League will have to hear Allado's side first to allow due process.


At the moment, Don Allado has apologized for the comments he made in twitter.

“I would like to extend my sincerest apologies to Comm Salud & entire PBA for last night’s tweets that’s now a subject of controversy,”
“It was an error in judgement on my part to let my passion for this game get the best of me. As a professional I should’ve known better. I understand my statement may be construed by many as discrediting the PBA. Let it be known, however, that such is not my intention. Again, my sincerest apologies to the Comm Salud, Board of Governors & entire PBA.”




My Take: NEVER make decisions when your MAD! and second NEVER bite the hands that feed you.
Don Allado should have been more prudent and acted more maturely. If he had issues with the way their match ended, he should have done a formal complaint instead of airing it out on twitter for the world to see. It was classless and very rude.
Whatever happens to this issue, I hope the PBA will handle it properly and learn from it.

Ciao!!
