It Was All Yellow
2009 First Round
August 9, 2009
In a brilliant display of sportsmanship, supporters of both teams decided to wear yellow shirts instead of their usual school colors to show respect for Corazon Aquino, who passed away just days before the game. What resulted was a sea of yellow fans cloaking the Araneta Coliseum one Sunday afternoon. It was a memorable event as the bitter foes chose to set aside their egos to honor the late President. Although the game only had one winner (Ateneo beat La Salle, 76-72 in overtime), what was important was that the schools showed they can co-exist for unity’s sake.
