How Sports Illustarted learned to stop living and love the Gore

By: Mike Church

08 March, 2007 - Guess what? The Global, Global Warming scam has now pushed Sports Illustrated into the realm of “Green Sports” whatever that is. Actually SI’s intrepid tree hugger, Alexander Wolff, TELLS you what that is as he watches the NBA toss around their new woven hemp basketballs. Oops, I guess they don’t hold air like the old fashioned ones with bladders but hey, the carbon glut over the All-Star game nearly turned Las Vegas into an inferno or was that Ron Artest’s Mac 9?

If I hadn’t read Wolff’s “Going, Going Green” piece (no pun intended) in the latest SI online I wouldn’t believe it. Here are some highlights, with my own embellishments.

Snow skiing has just 8 years left as a sport, ice fishing is OVER in Minnesota, Spring training starts in Green Bay Next year and the Iditarod has now become an indoor sport practiced by homosexual men. And that’s just on the FIRST PAGE. Folks this hysteria has succeeded in making it’s own ghoulish future a running joke unto itself.

Wolff extensively quotes famed tree hugger and Senator Patrick Leahy fan Bill McKibben as an expert on the environment. Actually McKibben is an expert on the environment OF the environment: it’s all hype.

McKibben has written a book about the wonders of tossing your modern lifestyle out the window, squashing your desire to own more than your parents (or the homeless guy under the overpass) and how wonderful life without motorized transportation can be. You didn’t really need to get to that hospital in less than 4 days now did you?
