NBA Restarts Season

After a five month delay due to the COVID-19 pandemic the NBA rebooted its season on Thursday night with its first two games which count since early March.

So much has happened to our country since then. It all seems beyond surreal. A pandemic bungled by what once was the world’s greatest nation which boasts the world’s greatest health care system. An economic depression with second quarter numbers showing a 33% decrease in GDP. George Floyd’s murder by white police officers on video for the world to see.

For me….it’s stunning how far off the cliff in the last six months or so since the impeachment trial our country has fallen.

Yet here we are in late July with the NBA getting back to what they do without fans in the arenas.

This goes way beyond basketball. This goes to the fiber of what’s currently left standing of American culture…of Amecian life as we knew it.

Hockey reboots next week while baseball struggles with its restart due to the Marlins fiasco in Florida.

College football doesn’t know what its doing nor do parents in relation to their children going back to school.

It’s all awkward and new for all of us regardless of age, sex, or race.

But at least its a start. A reboot of sorts.

Kind of.
