AROUND the NBA:

[ballsrchr]

The NBA is the only major league in America that actively makes it as difficult as possible to watch their games. 

Adam Silver as a commissioner has failed every which way. I'm shocked he hasn't been ousted, but I suppose he has generated record breaking revenue for the owners.

The bold sentence is what pisses me off.  And it's no lie.

I quit watching baseball back in the early eighties, I think it was, when the players went on strike just before the World Series.

Edit: No...wait. I think I was still in school when that strike happened--8th grade, 9th grade, 10th grade? Well...my memory has defeated me. I guess it wasn't the world series, or maybe they made it up. I don't know. BUT it had to be in the early sixties! Who knew I was so old. The only time I know I'm old is when I look into a mirror. Or my memory defeats me about baseball. Damn...I'm gonna have to look this up...
More edit: Ok. Maybe it was the strike of 1972. I was going to the same school, same classroom for an apprenticeship about that time. Missed 86 games that were never made up. That's it! I've spent enough time with this. No Le Hace!

I quit watching football because my team, Yes....the Dallas Cowboys...disappointed me so...many...times.

And hey...I have a high tolerance for disappointment..  I've stuck with the Mavs from day 1 till now.

Shucks.  I've even quit watching the International tiddlywinks tournament.  The excitement was just too much for me.

I wasn't going to say anything about the political stuff, but...   No. No.  I'm not going to get into that.
