Watching the replay of my favorite team winning was the perfect alternative to a football game last night. The women's game began at 11:00 a.m. local time to avoid the Bowl. My subscription to BTM allows me watch many games live and most on replay.
Today, long-time friends came for lunch. Many years ago she I worked together and we've been friends since. Though we don't see each other regularly we stay in touch. During lunch I asked them, "So, who won the Super Bowl game last night?" They looked at each other, looked blank, and she said "I think it's the one owned by a woman for gives money to charities." Neither even knew the teams that were playing. Three at lunch, largely oblivious to the NFL.😀
Tonight I'll watch Unrivaled basketball. Unrivaled is the one-year old league founded by Napheesa Collier and Brenda Stewart, both of whom are WNBA players. In this league there are only three players for each team on the floor. It makes for fast play, the floor is also slightly shorter, and emphasis on offense. The players all come from the WNBA and are divided into teams for the season. Being a WNBA fan I recognize all the players by sight. It's another great alternative to football and its season is when the WNBA is not playing. Much of the motivation was to provide an alternative venue for the players to playing overseas. Overseas play pays much better than the WNBA, however. a new agreement between the league and players is being negotiated. WNBA player salaries have been very low. Check it out if you like basketball.
Takk for alt,
