NBA Comissioner, David Sell-Out.

Wow, now I've heard it all

Recently, the NBA decided to add H-O-R-S-E to it's All-Star weekend lineup, and I was stoked. I mean, why not? It will be fun to see athletes revert to the games of their youth and see what they can accomplish now.

One problem. now, bureaucracy has taken over, and Geico has bought the rights to rename the game G-E-I-C-O.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

Hey, Geico, way to take a classic and screw it up. You're already a corrupt organization of crooks - who takes people's money in case they get in trouble, then keeps it even if you don't? You do, Geico. And now you have tarnished a classic. Everyone already knows who you are thanks to your cruddy gecko spokesperson and crappy cavemen commercials. No one will be watching the competition at home then suddenly declare, "Oh, they're spelling G-E-I-C-O! Man does that make me want to go buy car insurance!"

I hear that Travelocity wants to buy the Around-The-World competition to promote their travel company. And hey, while were at it, how about calling Donald Trump, who has plenty of money to toss around and asking him if he wants to buy the rights for the name "basketball."
Kids will no longer play in basketball tournaments, they will play in Trump tournaments. "Hey, Alex, wanna go out front and play Trump?" No. I'm good, ill pass on that. Will the NTA (Formerly the National Basketball Association, now the National Trump Association,) provide more money for The Donald?

One thing is for sure. I would rather give my money to Mr. Trump than to Geico. Someone use their insured car to run over that freaking Gecko. Might as well cost them some money since they have enough from stealing from all of us to buy an entire competition. Ridiculous. Or just sad.
