The NFL’s completely inept mishandling of the national anthem protests that have now shifted into an open resistance against President Trump may have permanently damaged the league but has served as a great example to others on what NOT to do. Like the National Basketball Association which contrary to what some may believe, is not the LeBron James Basketball Association. ...

NBA superstar LeBron James continues to whip out shovels of bloody red chunks of meat to his legions of fans that cling to his every word and cheer his every action.

We all know that President Barack Obama is a narcissist. And we all know about the National Basketball Association (NBA) strike/lockout. But what do they have in common? Until Friday, November 18, 2011, nothing. Then the “The First Ever Obama Classic Basketball Game,” a reelection fundraiser was announced. Obama’s re-election campaign has recruited more than two dozen NBA stars for ...
