IS THE LAKERS KING JAMES FULL OF HIMSELF?

It was reported on Friday March 6th that the NBA had sent memos to teams advising them that due to fears of spreading the Coronavirus for teams to prepare for the possibility of games taking place without fans.

Since the virus has played havoc around the world with the sporting calendar in many countries and Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain saw their trip to Strasbourg postponed this weekend, yet one of the NBA's biggest names is not interested in the possibility of playing in empty arenas.

Lakers star LeBron James took exception to the thought, "We play games without the fans? Nah, it's impossible," the Los Angeles Lakers star told reporters.

"I ain't playing. If I ain't got the fans in the crowd, that's who I play for. I play for my team-mates, the fans, that's what it's all about.

"If I show up to an arena and there ain't no fans in there, I ain't playing. They can do what they want to do.

"I ain't ever played the game without no fans, ever, since I started playing ball.

"I don't give a damn, this isn't Europe. They can do what they want to do."

Apparently the Lakers star's fame has gone to his head. It appears as if often being referred to as King James had infected his brain. It's as if he believes that he is BIGGER THAN THE LEAGUE and HE'S MORE IMPORTANT THAN PUBLIC SAFETY. In the true Lakers spirit… it's as if he BELIEVES THAT HE'S BIGGER… THAN LIFE!.

You would think that someone who envisions himself as a role model for youths would get his brain and his lack of his command of the English language together. Stay tuned...…

CHINA DEFEATS POLAND & PREJUDICE IN UFC TITLE MATCH

Promoted as being the greatest women's fight of all time it also was a case of a person of color fighting a white person. This reflected the problems of our times of the US government pitting one nation against the other. The outcomes revealed how honorable the persecuted can be while revealing the lack of dignity and integrity of the self perceived mighty…

BRINGING NATIONS TOGETHER THROUGH SPORTING COMBAT

When Zhang Weili defended her Strawweight crown last night she had a questionable split-decision win over former Strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk in the co-main event of UFC 248. What stood out as much as the amazing fight was the commentary provided by the UFC fight commentators, most notably Joe Rogan.

The bout represented China (Weili) verses Poland Jedrzejczyk (Poland). It also represented a person of color against a white individual. As the fierce drama of a fight played out Weili was pounding the face of Jedrzejczyk into a bloody pulp. Due to the severe damage that became visible on Jedrzejczyk's head she appeared to be the vision of Frankenstein's daughter.

With that pounding being apparent all three commentators repeatedly stated that they didn't know who was winning the fight being how close it was.

The most obvious prejudice came about in the middle of the fourth round when Weili smashed Jedrzejczyk with a crushing blow to her head. The thundering shot was ignored by all three commentators. When Jedrzejczyk countered with a glancing blow off the side of Weili's head, all the responded with wow… what a blow!

It was obvious at that point that all three were rooting for the Pole and not making an unbiased account of the fight. With that being a subjective issue on my part all three agreed that it was hard for them to be objective in calling such an outstanding fight. Rogan said that the fight was so intense that they were so absorbed in the contest that they were being pro fans and not pro fighting analysts.

They all agreed that it was the greatest female fight they have ever seen and perhaps one of the greatest fights of all time regardless of gender.

It's safe to say that at least we all agree on something.

The referees also disagreed by a split decision result with one 48-47 to Jedrzejczyk and two 48-47's to the winner Weili.

Their 351 combined significant strikes are third-most thrown in a UFC fight. Jedrzejczyk's 186 significant strikes are the most ever by a UFC fighter in a loss. It's these numbers that are questionable.

There should be some verification of how those figures were scored. Throughout the fight Weili repeatedly pounded Jedrzejczyk's face with straight thundering jabs. Many of those strikes were ignored but the commentators who repeatedly noted the counter strikes from the Pole.

Jedrzejczyk, now 20-4, was reluctant to show her face during her post fight interview with Rogan. When she approached him she covered her bulging Frankenstein like forehead with a towel. Rogan reassured her not to worry about it. She then emphasized what a champion she was in defeat and Rogan agreed as he did in his promoting commentary during the battle.

It was reported she went to the hospital when she left the arena.

When Rogan interviewed Weili now 22-1, through an interpreter, she was gracious in her hard fought victory. What she also noted that her country and the USA were fighting the Coronovirus and all of us (nations) could join together to fight the virus and win together.

She then took the microphone from Rogan and said in her best English that she was taking English lessons so she could communicate better with her fans.

Weili had to take a route of obstacles to appear for the fight. She moved her training camp from China to Thailand and later moved to Dubai due to concerned over 2019-20 Coronavirus outbreak, which has infected more than 20,000 in China, as TSA rules stated a two-week quarantine was imposed for any non-US citizen be granted entry to the United States if they had recently been in China. After multiple failed attempts to obtain a US visa to fight in UFC's events in the US, on February 19, 2020 Zhang was granted US visa to fight at UFC 248.

In contrast on January 28, 2020, Jedzejczyk posted an image of her then oncoming competition against Weili on her Instagram. In this poster Jedrzejczyk was wearing a gas mask which is widely considered insinuating a then outbreak of a coronavirus in China. The gas mask and the three emojis: "See-No-Evil Monkey". "Happy and Crying Face" and "Smile With Hearts" in the same post caused wide criticism due to the insult to her opponent and disrespect to the people that were suffering from illness. She later released a public apology. Her loss could be the cast of the DEVIL GETS ITS DUE.

It was Weili's statement and her honesty that was warming in an atmosphere promoted by the US government that all nations (but Israel) are its enemy while using sanctions and blackmail to intimidate the world. Weili's statement following such an intense battle was warming.

As the infamous Rodney King said… WHY CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG?
