Thrown game
Whether somebody called you a favorite for rookie of the year, or for an unlikely trip to the playoffs, any time an opponent has thrown the game or rigged the system to blow you off course, you never had much of a chance, no matter what you did with the slim chance you had.
When you're going against a thrown game every season, the real underdog was always you. The real favorite was always the other guy.

Thrown game
What the Charlotte Hornets and Carolina Panthers are trying to play against every season. A thrown game, a rigged system.
When one of your opponents has set up a thrown game for you to go against every season, your chances were always unlikely from the beginning. The real underdog was you.

Charlotte hornets
They didn't make the playoffs, they got humiliated by the more experienced team, but they also didn't quit or give up, they kept going without many of their players for a lot of the season.

Impossible expectations
Nobody thought the Hornets would make the playoffs after halfway through the season, because nobody had impossible expectations (except one of their opponents, who always has great expectations of everyone about everything, because everything has to be uber competitive enough for her).

Gypsy
Carrying a suitcase around and calling yourself a gypsy doesn't make you a gypsy any more than wearing a fin on top of your head makes you a shark. It really just makes you a pretentious poser.
The girl thought that she was a gypsy and this and that, and that she was disarming people she never met and couldn't see, but in reality she was a dork that wanted to go around like she owned the place, and make herself look and sound scarier than she actually was in the process.

Spirit untamed
Look at that, she made a movie about herself, that's kind of like an artist that paints pictures or murals of themself around a town they're not even from. Despite all the people she tried to make fun of in life by calling them narcissistic, it doesn't get any more narcissistic than that.

No lives matter
The belief that no life is more important than the next, that life is worth losing no matter your shade of skin, and that you might as well make the one you have count instead of spending all your time focused on who's life matters or what shade of skin they have/had.
