First, good article, good points. The hypocrisy that the NBA deals is the same the NFL and other professional leagues dole out. They're mainly concerned about ratings and it doesn't make people want to watch if the superstars are sitting out. Can't justify charging $100 for a ticket if you're seeing bench-warmers playing.
Second, you had me from:
I know there may not be a ton of sports fans on Steemit yet, but...
There definitely seems to be a shortage compared to general population, so I'm stoked to find your feed. Now following you and looking forward to you next articles.
Have a great day!
Ya sports is kinda scarce on here. @sportsncoffee runs some contests.
I'm really wishing that the sports scene will grow in steemit. I have a feeling it will.
Maybe I'm in the minority....but I actually like the fact that the NBA is getting back to being a bit more physical and "manly". I was getting tired of seeing the soft- "going through the motions" attitude along with everyone being best buddies out there.
I hear what you guys are saying about keeping the "stars" on the court for the national games. Someone has to be the fall guy....right? lol
Lets keep it "real" though....nobody even threw a punch. Just alot of yapping, pushing and staring. Once they breached the other locker room....I knew somebody was going to need to be the sacrificial lamb. Glad to see some sports on here!! Enjoy boys.... :)
