Mickey Mouse is An American Hero

As I established yesterday, Adam Silver can't tell tell the difference between the Alphabet and Numbers...thus, this report could only mean one thing. Surprise, Surprise...our favorite animated cartoon rat has come to the rescue once again. This time saving a lost league needing guidance.

The following is a statement from NBA Chief Communications Officer Mike Bass: pic.twitter.com/8gfK5iVXs8

What screams player safety more than Mickard K Mouse? The rodent is a one man machine with everything from car seats to children's books. Do you really think anyones walkin' away with the big rona on this mans watch? 

Do we think the players will be sleeping in Mickey Mouse themed beds in order to pay homage to the savior who dragged them out of the gutters? It seems rather disrespectful to do otherwise in my mind. 

Tell Goofy to hit my line because I am a goddamn bar-gain hunter, for less than $40,000 they could be donning every one of their players in the finest linens. Some may deem it "unnecessary" or the beds "too small", so don't be surprised when they'r forced to sleep in lame beds with no pizzazz whatsoever. 

Mickey Mouse consistently steps up for the people of America, when no one else will...even WITH the derogatory comments made by one Bugs Aloicious Bunny, in the 1996 NBA based movie Space Jam, Mickey is still rising to the occasion at the plum old age of 83. 

"What kind of Mickey Mouse organization would name a team 'The Ducks?'" 

Have you ever seen a statement from Bugs issuing an apology? Me neither. Team Mickey 'till I die.

People Complaining About Sports Trying To Come Back Are Tiring

In the past week, more and more leagues have been making progress on a return to action and live games.

The MLB owners have approved a proposal to present to players, as @Ken_Rosenthal reported. They plan to meet tomorrow to discuss it.

Now is when it starts to get serious. And we'll know soon enough if baseball is actually coming back in 2020.

Nothing about MLB and the MLBPA’s talks Tuesday changed the calculus in any negotiation right now: Both parties have far too much to lose to allow something as solvable as money to wreck a season. Talked more about it with @Espngreeny on @GetUpESPN this morning. pic.twitter.com/YvrDcoVsMA

Adam Silver told those on the NBA’s Board of Governors call Tuesday that if a positive test would "shut us down, we probably shouldn't go down this path,” sources said. https://t.co/tkbh9poiQD

This is all good news!!! Reason for celebration, even....For the past 60 days all we've have done is complain about boredom and talk about how much we miss sports....aaaannndd, now that they may come back, it's turned into a social commentary about the safety and morality of coming back?

Here's the thing,,,we, as in the general public, have ab-so-lutely no control at all. The leagues are going to do what they do and whether you fall on the side of "don't come back, wait until there's a vaccine" or "I just want entertainment"...it sincerely, doesn't matter what you think... 

This isn't to say that players, coaches and teams should feel pressure or an objectivity to come back either. But, if both players unions, owners, leagues annnd state officials are going to agree to let sports come back....complaining on Twitter is tiring and nonsensical. 

Instead of being skeptical, down and using it as a time for social commentary... why not just exhale, realize it's out of your control and rejoice that something we all love may be returning soon and bringing just a bit of normalcy with it.
