I have two major issues on my mind right now. I'm a big basketball fan. Celtics fan to be exact. My beef right now is with professional basketball all together. I need to watch every Celtics game. I need too. Simple as that. Am I the only one here? People are you with me? We need our basketball. Whatever team you're a fan of. We need it. It's no secret. Sports are like our modern day gladiators to get philosophical. But I'm not here to do that. I'm not here to get deep. It's real fucking simple. I'm pissed, I'm about to get you pissed, I'm trying to start a revolt. Heres the problem...given the need for our basketball they televise games so that our addiction can be fed. Take my situation for example. I'm a Celtics fan. But my job requires me to live in Washington DC. I go where the money goes. Not where the Celtics go. As much as I'd like to live in Boston and watch on local Comcast stations I can't do this. But thank you NBA league pass. Great invention. 200 bucks, I never miss the game. And they give me local announcing. I love it. Worth the money.
But...don't get it twisted friends...we are being taken advantage of. And we shouldn't stand for it.
Now everyone with a league pass raise you're hands. Okay, so vibe with me for one second and let me paint you an image, a situation that you yourself have been in. You sit down to your computer to watch the game and you find out, oh, it's on television. My league pass doesn't run while the game is nationally televised. I mean thats bull shit, but I get it. People let me defend this for a second. It's a legal thing. You can't compete with TNT, ESPN, ABC. These stations most likely have a clause in their contract with the NBA that says just what we are talking about. No compete clause. Theres my name for it. Now as much as we'd like to complain, we can't.
But wait a mother fucking second...
The audacity. The audacity of the NBA. What the fuck is NBA TV? Are you out of your fucking mind? Listen, I get it. Create NBA TV. Flood the market with you're talk shows. I personally don't like the talk show crap because I know more than they do so you aren't getting my money for NBA TV. Now, for the problem, why is my League pass game blocked when a game is on NBA TV. When a game is on NBA TV, I can't watch it because I would have to pay? Why? Fuck you? I gave the NBA money. I paid. I should be able to watch all the games that aren't on national TV. Thats Bull shit. The NBA is double dipping. You can play you're game on stupid fucking NBA TV, but let me see it on my league pass. So can I get an movement started here. The fuck NBA TV movement. Seriously, on the side of this BLOG should have a petition against NBA TV. CLICK HERE TO BOYCOTT NBA TV.
Thats it for them. Now lets talk about the WNBA.
I won't waste much time on this I just wanted to point out something so funny. If you look at the WNBA trailers. Like trying to get you excited for their up coming games. 60 percent of the highlights they show are from NBA games. Is that fair? Lets start another petition. CLICK HERE IF YOU THINK THE WNBA SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO USE ONLY THEIR OWN HIGHLIGHTS DURING ADVERTISEMENTS. We can't just band the NBA highlights because if you don't band everything then they would just use college highlights. And on down the list. This should tell you something about you're sport when you can't even get enough highlights to put together a 45 second trailer based on you're entire league. For god sakes they even make curling look cool for 45 seconds. Curling! The WNBA should be ashamed.
FUCK THE WNBA AND FUCK NBA TV!!!
