Based on the fact that there is no leadership in the state of Washington just followers of the Democrat Party. Similar to living in the Iron Curtain many years ago.
What is popular leads to an atmosphere of letting the bad guys win.

Why I support Trump (or why I don’t vote Democrat)
People will ask you from time to time, “How can you support Trump? He’s a bigot, misogynist, etc” he’s caused the fringe right to feel comfortable attacking synagogues etc.
I have voted Republican since 1992. I was I. College then and I voted for George H W Bush over the eventual winner Bill Clinton. In Judaism and other walks of life, we have something called a team or community. I’m a member of the GOP team so therefore I vote for its mantle bearer, good bad or indifferent. I voted for Dole and McCain and Romney. All of them lost to Clinton and Obama.
In the old days I might have considered voting Democrat if they had Sam Nunn or Zeli Miller is Joe Lieberman as their nominee. Sadly, that isn’t the case.
The Republicans have to start taking on the culture and the blue state democrats and SJW’s in a hurry.
Additionally, any RINO who criticizes Trump but not the Democrats is a person who should lose his or her job and influence. These people are selfish ballhogs and ego centric who only care about their power.

NHL in big trouble
In my opinion, the NHL is in big trouble in finding a niche or an audience in the United States. This despite the fact that very few Canadian teams are good anymore, Why is this the case?
1) fans relate to stars not teams, the NBA and NFL create stars and superstars.
2) The NHL whether fair or not is perceived as an old stodgy white male dominated league that is stuck in past similar to baseball. By contrast, the NBA is young modern and hip.
3) Espn ignoring or having nothing to do with the NHL was the death knell starting in 2004-05.
How to fix it?
One new younger leadership at all levels of the sport,
Two shorten the season not going to happen but worth it.

Houston failed
The Houston Tockets are a colossal failure because they have won a whole bunch of games the last five years but haven’t made it to the NBA finals or won a championship. They lost to Golden State last night losing the series in 6 games 4 to 2. If I owned the team, I would IMMEDIATELY fire Daryl Morey, the alleged GM of the team who put together this roster and Mike D’Antoni, who somehow gets to coach a bench of teams without being asked to win a title.
Just like the Oklahoma City Thunder, the stars of the Rockets are too consumed with their personal statistics at the expense of the team goals. Harden can’t lead a team to a title. He isn’t wired that way.

A tribute to a broadcasting legend and the rigors of Journalism
A friend or a good sports acquaintance passed away last week. His name was Chet Coppock. He would have turned 71 next week.
Chet was a broadcaster from high school/ college until his death although it was harder for him to get jobs in his later years as too many teams and stations want yes men or yes people.
He was funny and entertaining, even controversial. Sports is entertainment after all, although if you watch some people or listen to some blowhards it’s bigger than life.
The sports journalism business or field is a hard and tough one. It’s a grind and the hours are long and it seems to never end. It isn’t conducive to having a normal social or family life.
Here’s a message to all of the women sports journalists today. This is a hard business to make a mark in. Chet Coppock did. If men criticize you, part of it is that some of us know the top journalists and what it took to reach their level. You’re allowed to enter the field, but that doesn’t mean you will be one of the legends or long tenured ones.

Should the players walk out of spring training
It’s a question I have thought about since the intransigence of the teams to give players any large deals. Maybe they should walk out of spring training to tell the owners that they are pissed off at the, for being a bunch of cheap skates and skinflints. Should they walk out of spring training and go on strike? Maybe.
