3-Point shot killed basketball. Anyone can be a good three-point shooter with enough practice.

I am loving watching my kids’ high school and little league sports. I honestly could notncare less about professional sports and it is liberating. Waste of time.

I wonder how much viewing revenue they get from the commie police state. Probably more than sufficient to cover their domestic losses.

GOOD! I hope not only the NBA but all professional sports that “go woke, go broke!” It’ll teach them a lesson.

Interesting

Meanwhile, Yanks lineup is a disaster. Cubs can’t score runs

Can we get a patriotic XFL?

Eff boxing and Manny Pacquiao:

Manny Pacquiao as a Player in U.S. Politics

How’s this for a detail from the fabulous life of Manny Pacquiao: Even as Pac’ was launching his own political career back home, he was taking time to save Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s career here in the U.S.

Many political observers believe that Reid, the senior Senator from Nevada and most powerful man in the Senate, would have gone down in defeat during the Tea Party tidal wave of 2010 if not for a last minute campaign appearance made by Pacquiao in Las Vegas, which drew massive crowds of U.S. citizens of Filipino descent.

As Manny himself noted afterward, Reid was trailing by four points in some polls when he arrived in Las Vegas, only days before the election.

Pacquiao’s support has also been cited as critical for helping elect Jerry Brown Governor in California.

I’ll go to a pro game when prices are the equivalent of what they were back in the early 80s. You were able to buy on the court fold down chairs for the Chicago Bulls on game day for $15. So, about $30. That’s about what these people are worth.

That’s the great thing about kids sports. The absolute heart felt connection. After watching 12 year old kids play a sport very well, with heart, effort, skills they possess, ... no other game matters.

I was fortunate to see both my boys win state championships. On in U16 soccer league, the other a class 6A football his senior year. I coached the team (soccer) and individuality coached the football kicker (punt, place FG). No game on TV will ever come close to being proud watching a determined 10 YO leave their all on a field.

Hopefully, soon the NBA will be talking about raising their minimum wage to $15/hr.

I think it’s heading back in that direction anyway. Millennials are not big sports fans. They are more interested in playing video games and using social media or watching Netflix. They’ll go to an occasional sports game or two. But that’s about it.
