Good News: Basketball Season May Be Cancelled
Good News—Basketball Season May Be Cancelled
By Elton Camp
Of outrageously overpaid, whiny jocks I don’t care
For fifty years I haven’t watched a game anywhere
When in college, some of our team’s players I knew
Mention a present basketball star & I respond, “Who?”
I don’t know the details of what the big fuss is about
But that it’s about big time money I’ve got no doubt
Professional sports is filled with extravagant greed
Really, how much can players and owners need?
With millions working hard for just minimum wage
Obscene millions spent on sports puts me into a rage
So let them cut their season short of not do it at all
I don’t care if I never see another game of basketball
In fact, here’s what I think it’d be best if they will do
Get in a fight and close down football & baseball too
My best guess is that this won’t ever take place
But I’m keeping my fingers crossed just in case
