Spitting in the wind

There's a saying that spitting in the wind means wasting your time by trying to do something which has little or no chance of success.

It's not to accuse anyone of lying but UP SPORTING CHANCE player Reyland Torres' claim that he was spat at by La Salle coach Topex Robinson during a heated moment in the third quarter of a UAAP game at the MOA Arena last Sunday apparently has no basis.

Videos of the alleged spitting incident show that Torres passed by Robinson at the sidelines of La Salle's bench twice, once heading towards the Archers basket and the second time, towards the Maroons basket. You wonder why with the expanse of the hardcourt, Torres chose to walk past Robinson near the La Salle bench. What was he thinking? A video showed that as Torres walked by Robinson, he lifted the upper part of his jersey to cover his mouth. Was it to avoid any video showing the movement of his mouth so as to hide whatever he said?
