can you read between the lines/comprehend any of it?

It happens all the time and Tonight just shows how "Sports/Entertainment"
will always be ignorant and obtrusive. It’s "one big SHOW" that means Very
VERY little in the real world that most people live in because there
are Actually things that matter going on within it. Like figuring out a
life that means more to than A dam Ball going into ahoop, or learning
how to grow up being in a fish bowl of a society based on your
popularity level as a person, or even dealing with becoming the leader
of your family after someone’s passing and not knowing how to deal with
Life after it happens. Buttt, This Game of Sports entertainment matters
more than someone’s mental health and well being right? Or the real life
things that happen to people everyday but they still have to Perform
for the NBA and its fans? Right? It’s all about doing it for the fans
and organization that love you so much? Think again, It’s a GAME, and
it’s promoted as a Fandom experience for ticket buyers and viewers at
home, while defacing who people truly are as PEOPLE. Then spat out all
over these media networks as valuable food for thought while they
actually believe that their opinions hold weight to real cultural
leaders that speak and act for change. One big Gimmick with Some smoke
and mirrors! I’ll always be the one that takes the stand and speaks the
truth every time though. A purposeful and spiritually led Life will
always be bigger and more meaningful than any sports arena or any
entertainment space. This GAME isn’t meant to be controlled and shown as
a Drama, it’s meant to show the LOVE. Love for the Art is the Only damn
thing that keeps the purist people in this Giant Sports/Entertainment
Circus. Don’t fall for the Game that’s played in front of you as
Entertainment, it’ll never be as serious dealing with LIFE.

Peter Gent-=-
It was taken from "Long Island's Own Newspaper" Newsday
dated December 8, 1978, and was attributed to Peter Gent, member of the
Dallas Cowboys from 1964-68 and author of the great book (later a movie)
North Dallas Forty:
"For there should be a fundamental difference between professional and amateur sports that goes beyond the technical distinction of whether athletes make money from their sport. I learned the difference at the end of training camp my rookie year with the Dallas Cowboys. Management called a meeting to explain the responsibilities of being a professional football player. The man to give the best advice was the team's public relations director. He told us: 'Boys, this is show business.'
"With these words in mind, nothing about professional sports, even Howard Cosell, is mystifying. Professional athletes are first and foremost show business, dealing in illusion and entertainment. The first responsibility of the players is to the audience, not themselves. If the audience wants winners, that is what is given. If it wants losers, that also it will get. The principle is the same for midget wrestling and the National Football League."
