NBA Strike. Fans Strike Back

The Bible has the 10 Commandments.  One of those commandments is “Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto You”. I am asking you to do this for the NBA.  Neither the owners or players, took into account the fans wishes when they entered into this STRIKE/LOCKOUT.  Causing the Die Hard fans anguish. With little or no regard. I admit I am not a Die Hard Fan of the NBA, only rarely watching a portion of a Professional game. I think everyone should GO ON STRIKE/LOCKOUT against the NBA.  No one should attend or watch on TV or listen on Radio.  The same number of games you have been deprived of by the on going actions of the NBA.  It only sounds fair to me.  But, alas the fans are weak and will give in willingly to the NBA machine. It’s Time for the fans to retaliate, and make a stand.  Passing the message to Professional sports that the FAN also has a say in these matters. It is only fair. STRIKE back LOCKOUT the NBA.

NBA Lockout

Here we go again.  Multimillionaire vs Multimillionaires, (or billionaires), who knows, who cares.  The NBA claims the league lost $300 million this past season.  The league will tell you it is the players fault.  The players will say it’s the owners fault.  I’ll take the blame.  I haven’t been to a professional game in years, therefore it must be my fault because I didn’t pay to watch a bunch of overpaid people play a game I would play  for free.  No! I don’t take advantage of watching them on TV. Will they never learn?  We had the NBA lockout in what (1998), then to get people back they created “SUPER STARS’, By allowing certain players to not follow the rules, and blasting their names on anything, and everything.  These were decent players before, (Let me explain. I look at the overall skills of a player to rate them.  If a player scores 30 points a game but puts up 60 shots; does this mean he is a great player.  If a player is allowed to go from one end of the floor to the other with only 3 dribbles, is he a good ball handler.  The answer in my opinion is NO!)  The fact that professional basketball is not real BASKETBALL, but comparative to professional wrestling.  They give what the so-called fans want.  That’s OK it is merely a business, BIG BUSINESS, but business. In the NBA’s greed, they started raising ticket, and licensing fees.  Then the players said Hey I want some of that.  And I have no quarrel here.  What we have here is: The NBA owns the company.  The players contract with different teams for the most money they can get.  It is just business.  Who cares?  Will we not be able to feed our kids if the two can’t reach agreement.  Probably we would have more money in our pockets. I suggest if you want to see exciting BASKETBALL take in a grade school, (or as some of the upper class prefer elementary school), games, Jr high or middle school, or high school.  Or a nearby division 2 or 3 College game.  It won’t cost you nearly as much, and you will most likely see a more competitive game than the NBA will offer.  And I’m sure your school and community could use the money.

Dancing With The Stars

I usually don’t watch this show.  It’s just not my type of entertainment. But I love Kirstie Alley.  I think many people do, and that is why she is still dancing. Kirstie Louise Alley.  The tall (5 foot 8 inch) high school cheerleader from Kansas.  Who wanted to be an interior designer. Some will remember her from the sitcom Cheers, as Rebecca Howe. A role that won her 3 Emmy Award nominations, and finally a much deserved EMMY AWARD. as well as being a GOLDEN GLOBE AWARD winner. Others may remember her as Vulcan Lt. Saavik, (Star Trek II: Wrath of Kahn).  Or who can forget Mikey’s single mother Molly, in Look Who’s Talking. Yes, Kirstie is a very talented person.  But a dancer?  Sorry,  She is as good a dancer as I am, and that isn’t saying much. So what is her secret to staying alive on the TV show.  PERSONALITY! Even with all her success she still exudes that girl next door aura.  The everyday person, maybe a neighbor, or relative, whatever, she still retains that  approachableness (?)  Is that really a word?  It should be.   No matter you all know what I am saying. So if not her dancing ability, what keeps her on the show, other than the above mentioned traits, which will definitely get her the audience vote.  But how about the judges and producers, and other involved in the decision.  MARKETABLILITY! If Kirstie were to get the axe, HOWE, (a feeble attempt on word play here, forgive me), many of you would tune out Dancing  With The Stars.  I know I would.  After all I have already told you I don’t particularly care for the show in the first place. Thus we must discern, her secret is PERSONALITY, and MARKETABILITY. Keep dancing Kirstie. That Is How I See It. high school involved Views: 127
