Found Not Lost

There are sports fans and then there are sports fans. I am not a sports fanatic, but I do know of several people who are so into sports it’s not even funny. My sport is cooking and so I found a food fanatic community to join. For sports fans looking for a one stop shop to feed their obsession, Sportsviews is the place. Sportsviews is a social networking site for sports fans. Here you can meet like minded individuals to be friends with, share videos and photos with and you can even blog about sports or read what other people are writing about.

I don’t know too much about golf but my husband loves it. He loved playing it and he still watches it on TV regularly especially if Tiger is playing. The thing I do know about golfers is that they are preoccupied, or dare I say obsessed?, with their stats much like baseball enthusiasts.

This is a web based application so there is no software to download and can be accessed anywhere there is internet access.

I’m sure it wasn’t intentional, but given the atmosphere of political correctness and racial issues, you’d think the PR people for the Spain’s Basketball team would have known better. The photo above where the team posed slanting their eyes with their hands has received a lot of flack as it should.

On the surface, it’s just plain rude to make fun of your host before you go to visit. On a deeper level, this way of thinking just perpetuates the stereotypes that continue to divide us. You would think that with the shrinking world we live in, we become more aware and more sensitive to the different cultures that we share this planet with. It’s just ignorant. And as this article (Spain’s ‘Slant-Eye’ Team Photo Stirs Ire) points out, if the Spanish Basketball Federation just admitted the mistake and apologized early on, a lot of the controversy regarding the issue would have been avoided. I don’t think it helped them at all to continue insisting that it was in harmless jest that the photo was taken. They just don’t see it and that is what makes it so abhorrent.
