Just another case...

Here is another example to prove my point regarding my last post.  Please read this: 

YORK (AP) - SportsBusiness Journal reports the NBA plans to borrow $175 million to distribute to teams in need of additional cash.

The deal comes at a time when leagues are laying off staffs and cutting ticket prices. It will allow the NBA to distribute up to $11.66 million to 15 teams that responded to a league survey gauging interest in the money, SportsBusiness Journal said.

The report says the league plans to borrow the money Thursday.

The report also says JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America arranged the private-placement deal, in which non-banking lenders extend the cash at a fixed rate. In this case, the interest rate is 8.27 percent for $100 million; 7.45 percent for the remaining $75 million.

Teams can use the money for any purpose. 

I can not even began to understand the complete lack of integrity or see any semblance of intelligence in this situation.  Borrowing money so the NBA does not have to lay people off??!!?!?  Guess what happened to me when things started to go bad at my work... all of us got our hours cut.  

Why can't the NBA understand anything.  If you are not doing so hot CUT YOUR OVERPAID PLAYERS SALARIES!!!  It is your own fault for letting things get out of hand.  Get rid of people like Marbury who refused to play for his team any more and will still make millions this year.  

Well I am through with Pro-Sports.  Until they make some major changes, and people pull their heads out of their butts, I refuse to add to the problem.  Until somethings change I will never watch or support another pro sport again!!

Druggies as Heroes

I made light of drug abuse in my last post, but this time I am going to be much more serious about it.  

It is very unfortunate to see Santonio Holmes as the MVP of the super bowl when you consider that he was charged with drug possession in the first couple of weeks of the season.  His team deactivated him for a game or two (I am not sure) as a punishment.  Jeez, could they be any harsher?  

I read an article that talked about how he grew up in a tough neighbor hood and had to deal when he was a kid and how he has overcome so much to make it to the super bowl, but I guess the only thing he had to overcome last October was finding the number of his old dealer so he could make a score.  

He is a shining example of everything that is wrong with professional sports.  A bunch of over paid, sub-par intelligent individuals who think they are invisible.  I know I should not generalize because there are some outstanding men who have been involved with major sports who have made a huge impact on the lives of others, and they didn't do it so it could be filmed and shown during a game to let everyone knows that they really do care.  But those type of players are few and far between.

Holmes should have been booted from the league. Almost every other job in America requires employees to refrain from using drugs and if they do break policies of that nature, they will not have a job after such indiscretions.  But Pro-sports have always been the exception and will continue to be so until people start to stand up and call them on it.  

I had Holmes on my fantasy team at the start of the season and the minute I read that he had been busted I dropped his a$$.  The NFL should have done the same thing.  Every sporting organization and each club needs to take charge of their "employees" and hold them accountable for their actions.

Well... I just had to say something.  I am sure the two people who read my blog won't even care, but I am doing what I said early needs to be done.  The fans need to take a stand and stop putting up with this kind stupidity.
