I am now completely over professional sports. Years ago I gave up my favorite summer pastime, baseball, when the whiny super rich players union went out on strike. I was brought back to this game when Cal Ripken broke the most consecutive games streak. It was a great night and one that I am glad to say I watched. I gave up on the NBA years ago. I don't like the game they play and the thugs that are playing it. Now Michael Vick has spoiled the NFL completely for me. It was bad enough having to suffer thru the slings and arrows of Pacman Jones, Terrell Owens and Deion Sanders (to name a few) , but now Vick has destroyed any hope of NFL decency. To top all stories above,
Today on the net I see the above picture. The storied New York Yankees are now partnering with New Era caps to promote the sale of 3 gang caps. The Bloods, the Crips, and the Latin Kings all have official Yankee caps . How disgusting is that. I will now disavow knowledge of the Yankees and hope that they never win a game. This may the most disgusting marketing ploy ever. To stoop so low as to support murder and drug abuse (gangs) , it must mean that the Yankee financial ship is listing. I cannot believe the the commissioner would allow this, and I can't believe that a solid company like New ERA would make these. We need to quit supporting societal abnormalities and start supporting neighborhood and family growth. We need safe areas to live, not street corners where rival gangs hang out waiting to "cap" each other. Where will this go until the decent folks in this country say enough? Or are there not enough decent folks left. I for one will draw a line and take my stand here. Decency vs. Gangs. It is an easy choice. No more TBS for Braves baseball. No more ESPN Baseball Tonight, and I will not support companies that advertise on these shows either. I will only be one still voice crying into the night, but I will go on, hoping and praying that there will be others that join in and that change can be affected.l
