HE WORKED HARD FOR HIS MONEY

It's strange to see Brazil's as an 19-year-old Ronaldinho with great potential develop his skills to become a major player only to suffer a decline of productivity starting in 2007.

Often considered one of the best players of his generation and regarded by many as one of the greatest of all time, Ronaldinho won two FIFA World Player of the Year awards and a Ballon d'Or. He was renowned for his technical skills and creativity; due to his agility, pace and dribbling ability, as well as his use of tricks, overhead kicks, no-look passes and accuracy from free-kicks..

I first encountered the teenage wunderkind in 2000 when Brazil came to Thailand to play a friendly game with their national team. The side also included RIVALDO, the world's top player, ROBERTO CARLOS, CAFU, DIDA, MARIO JARDEL, ROQUE JUNIOR, CLAIDIO CACAPA, EMERSON, and ZE ROBERTO.

Brazil smashed the Thai's 7-0. Following the match Ronaldinho immersed himself with the media on the pitch. He appeared to be ready for stardom as his poise with the press would be translated in competitive competition.

The now 38-year-old attacking midfieder has retired from the game and is now taking on two… WOMEN THAT IS. The Brazilian is planning to marry two women. Polygamy is legal in Brazil.

The question that qualifies first is they marrying him for his money? The jury is out on that question but his worth is $9 million. Stay tuned…

ARSENE WENGER DEPARTURE TRAGIC

The departure of Arsenal manager is tragic. The manner in which the fans insisted for his firing was deplorable but that's how English football primarily behaves.

Wenger is one of my favorite sports figures and I'll tell you why. Following Arsenal's 4-3 victory over Thailand's national team in May 1999, I interviewed Wenger post game in the locker room. I informed Wenger that I was new at covering soccer/football and I might make mistake in m questioning due to my lack of knowledge about football. I asked him to correct me if I made a mistake,

Fortunately he was respectful an answered my question in which I did not make a mistake. He gave me a through and intelligent answer. The Frenchman is a gentleman. Our meeting was prior to Wenger managing the famous undefeated talent PLUS team in 2003.

Although his departure is sad the good news he will have a new beginning elseware. The bottom line is … Wenger is the ULTIMATE GENTELMAN.

PALESTINE WINNING FOOTBALL WAR WITH ISRAEL

Take note… Palestine may be losing the land to the Zionists and other colonialist nations but they are beating them in the FIFA World rankings. This month Palestine is ranked 96 and Israel 98.

JAYSON TATUM - A STAR IS BORN

The Boston Celtics General Manager Danny Ainge struck it rich this season in the NBA draft. Ainge shrewdly traded down wit their number one pick in a trade with the Philadelphia 76ers for their third pick. The Sixers chose Marchel Futz and Ainge chose 19-year-old Jayson Tatum.

From the start of the season Tatum has been a positive, constructive and productive player on the team. It was a major adjustment for a kid one year out of high school to perform on the big NBA stage.

From the beginning of the season Tatum adjusted both mentally and skillfully to adjust to the top flight and blend in with a group of veteran players to being the Celts top scored in the playoffs as the team that was decimated with injuries during the season to be in it to win the Eastern Conference title only to lose in the last two minutes of play.

What most interesting about Tatum is his intelligence and demeanor. He is quiet and respectful. He doesn't talk shit and does his talking on the court.

Other than talent the true test for any rookie making the transition to the NBA player is stamina. Tatum wins that test hands down since he only played 29 games last season at Duke University.

This season the rookie played in 99 games a feat that the highly touted Lonzo Ball failed to do having missed numerous games due to injury and lacking the tough physicality it takes to play a full 82 game season at the top level. Tatum reached the PLUS FACTOR in being the main cog in the wheel to reach the Eastern Conference finals against LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Teammate Al Horford complimented Tatum's achievement, "Unbelievable," Horford said. "Just the way that he took the season in stride and just kept pushing. For somebody to go through this their first time and go through a full NBA season -- he played, I think, pretty much every game -- and to be in these pressure situations in the playoffs, his composure, making play after play and really just poised and ready for moments all year. I couldn't ever imagine him playing at this level and in this magnitude."

Given he has good health throughout his career; Tatum has the skills to be a future NBA Hall of Fame player.

MANZEL & KAEPERNICK… GO FIGURE

What is wrong with the NFL? It doesn't make sense but Colin Kaepernick apparently is being banned by the NFL while Johnny Manzel is being given the RED CARPET OF CHANCES TO RETURN TO THE LEAGUE.

It raises the question why does the league drug and alcohol addiction over a player that is protesting the lack of human rights against people of color. Kaepernick has done nothing illegal, he simply trying to help people and defend the rights of minorities who are being murdered by American police.

This year Manzel failed to impress NFL reps in an exhibition trial camp. Now he's on to another venture having signed a two year deal with the Hamilton Tiger Cats of the Canadian Football League. That is one scenario that is strange since, as far as we know, Kaepernick wasn't given that opportunity.

Kaepernick has accomplished what Manzel could only dream of. In the 2012 season In his first career postseason start, the 49ers won 45-31 against the Green Bay Packers, and he set an NFL single-game record for most rushing yards by a quarterback with 181, breaking Michael Vick's record of 173 in a 2002 regular season game.

He also broke the 49ers postseason rushing record, regardless of position. Kaepernick carried the ball 16 times for 181 yards and scrambled five times for 75 yards, including touchdowns of 20 and 56 yards, and collected another 99 yards rushing on zone-read option plays. He also passed for 263 yards and two touchdowns. In total, Kaepernick had 444 yards of total offense with four touchdowns.

Kaepernick became the third player after Jay Cutler in 2011 and Otto Graham in both 1954 and 1955 to run for two touchdowns and pass for two others in a playoff game. In the NFC Championship game, the 49ers defeated the Atlanta Falcons 28-24 with Kaepernick completing 16-of-21 passes for 233 yards and one touchdown. The team advanced to Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans against the Baltimore Ravens. Kaepernick threw for a touchdown and ran for another, but the 49ers fell behind early and could not come back, losing by a score of 31-34.

Kaepernick is only 20 and remains productive. The question is would his skills suffer being going on two years of NFL competition.

Kaepernick is only 30 and remains productive. The question is would his skills suffer being going on two years of no NFL competition. Kaepernick's situation reeks of racism and not fair play. The appearance that is the owners of NFL teams are largely Jewish and support Israel an apartheid state. The appearance that is the owners of NFL teams are largely Jewish and support Israel an apartheid state.

Bob Kraft the owner of the New England Patriots is a vocal supporter both financially and verbally. The Tich family who own the NY Giants are Jews that support Israel.

The owners are either too weak or racist to do the right thing and give Kaepernick a job. Many quarterbacks have been given jobs that lack Kaepernick's ability.

What this indicates is the Jewish NFL owner's favor contributing money to Israel and thereby endorsing that racist state to CONTINUE to steal and occupy Palestinian land murder, in their words, Arab SAND NIGGERS. With endorsements like that what chance does Kaepernick have?

Being that the NFL consists of roughly 75% black players it would be appropriate for the players to strike for a game and defy the league and RACIST US PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP WHO SUPPORTS FIRING PLAYERS THAT PROTEST.

Trump chooses to deflect the protest is about racism to deflecting and ignoring the issue of the protest being about racial injustice to the players are disrespecting the American flag.

If the players did strike it would have a great financial impact on NFL owners. It would be impossible to replace 75% of the black NFL players with white players. It would take immeasurable time and the skill level would not satisfy the fans.
