Sporting events are a great date. 1) Professional games are good IF you can get something like Skybox seats on a hookup. Private bathrooms, celebrities, good food. 2) HBCU homecoming games. Ladies have to show up and ball out with outfits. Nice cars. Halftime. Good food. Cheaper box seats. The man has to all around flex not with money, but with how well he can look and how he can make his date look when they are together.

SAS: I've been watching and listening to you for decades and, despite your controversies, you still make me laugh out loud, even as you broach a topic as complex as the situation with Dwight Howard. Dwight brought a lot of joy to basketball. I hope the allegations of assault are untrue. I don't care what his sexual orientation is, as long as it doesn't involve minors or violence. But I WAY don't want to know the details.

[@howarddickersonjr.6994]

It does involve a minor though because his son has been corrupted by this and now his child is registered as a sex offender.

[@indirastone7382]

Key “HELP” if people are making you listen, read & watch. If you don’t want to know the details, then you don’t care about male children! If you don’t care about his “details” and sexual orientation, then you stand next to him in an NBA locker room. They’re just Meat Lockers, right? You drink out of his water bottle and wipe the sweat off your face with a towel he’s used. If it’s good enough to those men in the NBA, it’s damn sure good enough for you.
