HRR Thoughts and Dr. James Cone
It's been almost two months since I wrote an HRR "Basketball for Thought", and, that's too long. However, this article won't be very long nor will it center around basketball very much.
First, The HRR is free. Yep, that's right -- FREE. While there is still an HRR Members' Section, there is no longer a subscription fee for it. Those people who were kind enough to spend some of their money toward The HRR no longer have to do so; however, they do receive "inside info" before anyone else. (Loyalty is very important to me; so, the least I can do is provide them information I don't submit anywhere else.)
Generally, after a few days, I'll post the info I gave them in the non-Members HRR blogs, too.
The HRR is mostly blogs now; and, the blogs are available for free via email and / or RSS feeds. Subscribing to the HRR blogs is fairly simple: click on a subscription link for one of the HRR blogs and follow the steps. (The home page (www.TheHRR.com) is the easiest place to see all of the links.)
Shifting gears to the NBA, I want to say I don't like the NBA's (Commissioner David Stern a.k.a. The Godfather) decision to have head coaches and / or select players wear microphones during the national television broadcasts. I'm a purist. When I'm not covering a Rockets' game, I watch basketball for the action on the court. I don't want to hear a coach tell me what happened in the first quarter -- before the start of the second quarter. (I don't like the coaches talking to the analysts during the baseball games either.) Reality television has ruined sitcoms and television dramas and now it's being used to dumb down sports.
Now, on a more serious note, a few days ago, a friend of mine forwarded me an email; and, I'm glad he sent it. (No, it wasn't one of those money making email tracker things.) This email included a link to a PBS episode of Bill Moyers Journal featuring Dr. James Cone.
During the interview, Dr. Cone explains the relationship -- as he sees it -- between the Christian cross and the noose and the lynching tree.
Very interesting. Check it out:
