Well, it's been awhile since I have written anything. It's the heat, it has wilted me.
But a burst of energy has invigorated me, I found a topic.
With Gary Bettman's acknowledgement that in early June, a training camp will emerge, I am thrilled that some NHL games will be played. Playoffs ? Yup, playoffs.
While in Portland, Oregon, Damian Lilliard's attitude towards the return on the NBA goes off the rails, I mean he's right, Portland does not have much of chance to make the playoffs.
But, he's wrong in that it does not mean anything, it does.
It means that arena workers get paid, it means concessions workers get paid, it means parking attendants get paid. THEY GET PAID.
Damian Lilliard should go back, if it's safe to do so, but the moment it goes sideways, he has the right to opt out. But not if th league makes it safe to play.
If it's safe to play, then play, because it's not only that you get paid, it's the guy or gal making minimum wage serving cokes and hot dogs, the kids in the parking lots, the maintenance workers getting the courts, the ice ready for NBA and NHL rinks and arenas ready and prepped to field their respective stars.
