Last week, two NBA players, Kristaps Porzingis and LeBron James, broke the league’s COVID-19 protocols. Porzingis went to a strip club, James to a celebrities-thick promotional launch of a tequila.

Only Porzingis, fined $50,000, was punished. James, an often reckless advocate for social and racial equality, was given a pass. Another pass. The NBA says James escaped a fine because the promotional party’s organizers required all in attendance to be vaccinated or tested negative. Yet, other than by blind faith, how could the NBA possibly know everyone who attended was kosher?

Most sports fans couldn’t help but notice this, which the NBA no doubt hoped they wouldn’t. The media, naturally, out of mortal fright, mostly gave it a low-away pass. That’s one of those unwritten rules rarely broken.

<< James, an often reckless advocate for social and racial equality, >>

Lebron is an advocate for his brand, period.

The 49ers will pay RB Jeff Wilson $2million this year. He supposedly ‘tore’ his meniscus while getting out of the chair at the team facility. I think it happened b4 showing up there. If that’s the case they would not have to pay him. hush hush.

Sue the NBA for racial discrimination and demand the feds get involved. Watch the hypocrisy and the fun.

NBA ratings are crashing. What I find interesting is NBA games keep showing up on recordings of other shows I have scheduled for my DVR. So even though I don’t watch, care to watch, or try to record any NBA game, I probably show up as a viewer. But sure that’s just a coincidence. Uh huh.
