Saga Of Enes Kanter

Who is Enes Kanter you ask? He's a 6'11" 260 pound center that is at Kentucky on a basketball scholarship. He's been cleared to play academically but there are questions about his amateur status. I have played professional basketball overseas so here's the deal. The teams overseas bring a kid at 14 onto their lower club teams. They play him and develop his skills. Technically you can't sign a contract until you are 18. The club can pay for expenses such as gas,food, etc. Usually the kid stays with the club until they get drafted by an NBA team. Then the club "claims" they have the kids rights and the NBA team that drafts him has to pay a "buyout" to get the kid to the NBA. Problem (for the club team) with Kanter is he came to the US at 16 because he wanted to play college basketball. The Turkish team that "developed" Kanter can't have that happen. Why? Because once he plays college  basketball, the Turkish team loses their "rights" to Kanter. Which means no" buyout" for the club, no return on their investment for "developing" Kanter. So the Turkish teams comes up with  a  trumped up charge that they paid Kanter and his family over $100,000 US. The (PARDON MY LANGUAGE HERE) NCAA-HOLES are too stupid to realize this farce trumped up by the Turkish team. Kanter should be ruled eligible immediately. Where are the canceled checks? Where is the paper trail on this supposed $100,000 US? It should be an easy case to decide. But no........THE NCAA-HOLES want to show their gestapo powers and show Kanter who is boss. This is a high profile case and it will have repercussions in the future for the 2AY. More foreign players might want to come and play college basketball. And in the Commonwealth a lot of "FREE ENES" shirts have popped up. Free him from what? He is not a slave or in chains. It's very stupid of Kentucky fans to have those shirts. As a Kentucky fan myself I feel this case is simple. LET KANTER PLAY IMMEDIATELY NCAA-HOLES!!!!!!!!! That is my RANT for today. God Bless and Peace to the creatures.    

Dont Ask Don't Tell

There has been a lot of controversy on this subject. Folks thinking that people who don't support "gay rights" are homophobic. First of all I as a Christian do not have to support your cause as you don't support Christianity. And I am a Veteran so I can speak frankly on this subject. And a phobia or phobic means you are scrared of something. I am not scared of anybody, I fear our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. So I am not homophobic or any kind of phobic. Be that as it may here is my rant about the subject above. I for one don't feel it's a good idea to repeal "Don't Ask Don't Tell". It's about trust and having faith in your buddy during war time. That is a big thing especially in a combat arms unit (infantry,artillery,Marine amphibious unit, etc). You have to be able to trust the person in the foxhole with you in order for, both to stay alive, and to kill the enemy.  People making these decision have never served or been near the military. I know President Obama is Commander In Chief but I think he is misguided on this one (as are most Democrats). Also as a Christian I am tired about the gay community trying to force their agenda on me. I don't think it should be forced on the military either. The Gay struggle is not the black struggle. I and many of my black brothers were born with the color of our skin. Being gay is a choice, you are not born with it. Nothing our there has shown that a person is born gay. It is an excuse that is used so they can go on living that lifestyle without being accountable to God. Yes heterosexual people do a lot of wrong every day. But it's in the Bible that God detests homosexuality (and I don't think I am paraphrasing). So I am saying that we as Christians should not be made to accept the practice of homosexuality. It does not mean we hate gay people or even dislike gay people. We don't like the behavior, it does not necessarily mean we don't like the person. So if gays want to serve of course that is their right as a US citizen. But it doesn't mean the military should accept them being open about it. And that's my spiel and rant for today. I'm here all week. Peace to the creatures and God Bless.
