MB,

I agree with you that there is too much scoring in basketball.  That makes scoring a basket too insignificant.

On the other hand, ice hockey and soccer do not have enough scoring, which leads to boredom.  Ice hockey might be better with a little bigger net, so there would be more scoring.

Well, it’s good that the NBA’s front offices “look like America” even if the basketball courts, where the money is made, don’t.

And ofersince72:

Truthdig is a capitalist organization, and needs capital to operate, ie, run the website and pay its staff. Since its T-shirt sales don’t generate enough capital for the company and you and I aren’t about to donate our own money to truthdig, it must sell advertising space. It obviously, and happily, doesn’t discriminate when someone comes up and offers to buy some. QED, the occasional presence of conservative ads.

Just a little off subject here,  I was wondering about
some of the advertising that Truth Dig allows Such as
the Tell Obama From The Right ads I see on here all the
time.

I reminds of the ninties, I didn’t vote for Clinton in
either election but often found myself defending
him from attacks of the right even though I didn’t care too.

I am so hard up looking for something positive to
cheer about,  I will offer the NBA a thumbs up.
Trouble is, I have given up my interest in professional
sports even though I often had enjoyed them.

So farewell Sir Charles, I didn’t watch you and Kenny
once this year, but I did miss you.
While our country is laying waste to so many regions of
the world, I can no longer stomach the superfical
mask thrown at the public to hide these dark acts.

Diversity?  How many Asians or Hispanics play in the NBA?  Get real.  And no women players.
