RIP Thread: Sports edition

RIP NBA

I imagine this happens in every sport that attracts a lot of gambling but only sports that Trump doesn’t like will be targeted. NFL should be safe.

Bad Bunny - NFL better look out

Eh. He’s torn between MAGA fanbase that loves fuh-baw and that time when he wasn’t allowed to buy the Buffalo Bills because he lied about his net worth.

I see NFL fans as Trump’s biggest concentration of supporters among major professional team sports. He will not antagonize the MAGA component of them.

Trump will do what he wants and his cult will support it.

There are some in the cult who are still boycotting because of Kaepernick because tRump said so.

Nick Mangold - Jets All Pro center, future HOFer, 41

Michael Ray Richardson - extraordinary Basketball talent, but had his troubles

Randy Jones, SD pitcher. Couldn’t break a pane of glass, but had two great seasons and a Cy Young, but lost the magic.

at the time i thought he beat out Seaver on his 2nd place and lost to Koosman on the one he won.

Despite the reliance on W/L back then I think the writers got both those votes correct though both really could have gone either way they were very close both years.

But RIP

and now Glenn Hall all within 6 months
