What mainstreamed the NBA was FIBA ruling that NBA players could play in the Olympics. Come the 1992 Barcelona games, the USA utterly demolished everyone; nobody held America under 100 points. I mean look at this lineup:
- Laettner
- Robinson
- Ewing
- Bird
- Pippen
- Jordan
- Drexler
- Malone
- Stockton
- Mullin
- Barkley
- Johnson
After the medal game the Croatians were stripping down and asking the Americans to autograph their shoes and jerseys.
The NBA realized that too many black guys were dominating the sport and they had to do something in order to keep drawing in the masses.
Do they though?
I don't think people care about the racial composition of the team, they just care "home team wins". The 1990's Chicago Bulls had like one white guy a season, and in the 90's everyone loved the Bulls (cuz they were winners).
People like teams that win (as long they aren't the team to hate cuz they always win). A few strange people in the midwest like teams that lose.
for a new militia
They're not new. They're the remnants of al-Nusra.
What Happened
Hezbollah was propping up Assad, and Israel gutted them to the point that they couldn't keep wasting resources in Syria.
The rebels noticed this, started pushing, and never ran into serious resistance.
from Canada
Leftists worship Justin Trudeau. Don't conceal your accent and you'll be fine.
California
Big, loud Vancouver
Utah
Big, hot Yellowknife.
Wyoming
Big, empty Calgary.
Nevada
Big... yeah no, you've got nothing like Nevada in Canada.
Because above all else the democratic party elites are control freaks who wanted to deal with two situations:
-
A chaotic convention that illustrates the neolib-vs-progressive schism in the party, and the risk that an ACTUAL progressive might come out on top instead of a manufactured faux-gressive.
-
The relative ease of transferring state level campaign operations (and more importantly, money) from Biden-Harris to Harris-Walz.
She was the continuity-of-campaign choice. They would like to win, and Harris gave them a chance of winning, but losing control is more terrifying to the party leadership than losing the election.
