Default This will be controversial...oh well

I think it may be time to dump the NBA at J$. I have been thinking this for a while now, as Orren can attest to, but now I am even more certain it would be the thing to do.

These guys make multi millions of dollars, give us a poorer version of the game, and piss and moan about everything.

The double standard of the NBA is also extremely annoying. Scream and protest about racism but when Harrel calls Doncic a "bich azz white boy" nothing happens! Why isn't he suspended?

Guys like James jump all over an assistant coach posting something supportive of Hong Kong, only to protect his income source, citizens of Hong Kong be damned.

The NBA commissioner is no better....he's allowing the players to rule the league and dictate policy.

I'm over the NBA....there is little if any trading here in this sector....the divi formulas are long overdue for revamping....all it's good for is a place to park portfolio cash.

Afterthought..........replace it with the LPGA. No issues with "overlap players" that play both the flat belly and senior tours. The formulas are already in place, there are more than enough good players to make it worth it. I can help in every way to come up with an initial IPO list.

Rich, this is fantasy sports. We follow ficticious stocks and watch statistics and projections.
I don't see myself adding or removing a market sector based on anything other than overall member interest. Undoubtedly, my formulas for the NBA have sucked for a long long time, but dropping the sector entirely is highly unlikely. There are sports people follow and those they don't. Nobody is required to actually follow a sport in order to buy and sell its stocks to play here. However, if the majority of members no longer want to be bothered to even check for those stats, that's a different discussion.

Adding the LPGA would also not be predicated on the removal of a sector. There are 2 problems with adding it. The first, as I just alluded to, is member interest; do enough members have the interest. The second is the availability of stats. Can the site AND its members readily find a consistent source of pertinent stats. It does appear that aspect has improved since the last time I looked into it and you're right, adding the LPGA from the site's standpoint would be little more than IPOing stocks and using existing formulas.

So maybe a poll is in order?

IMO..... sports has no business in a pandemic.
I was shocked to see sports back playing. are they dumb?...
the 'system' has to change...lots of people on board with that very sentiment.

the problem is what and how to actually do that....playing sports will not be part of the solution they are looking for.

As far as adding an lpga sector, soccer, college or anything else...fine, no problem....bring it!
but you can't ignore one of the 'big three'

I think Jockstocks is obligated as a sports site to offer what they can. Basketball is a part of that and should not be singled out over the other criminal laden sports....I'm just saying one sport is the same as another with people involved. its entertainment, they're grossly overpaid and non-essential!

It gets into the realm of 'just how long do we let a virus control our lives' argument.....which would have been an easy answer if we hadn't opened pandora's box and more people had shown more common sense months ago.

But if they're playing, we're following...we couldn't stop them if we tried, apparently...

I don't see us ever removing one of the current 6 sectors....adding is another story.
If we could use pictures on site, more may be on board with adding LPGA
