Gilbert Arenas had a gun in the locker room, as well as his teammate, Javaris Crittenton. They

brought loaded guns into their locker room, apparently as a joke. They were suspeneded by the

NBA for the rest of the season. Gilbert Arenas was charged with felony, and will be sentenced

on March 26th. Someone could have been seriously injured.

This political cartoon is saying that, we think, Dwight Howard is not good. D Howard only dunks

and is not that good of a player. He is not terrible, but he really is not that good. He was on the

cover of sports illustrated as well

Sports Cartoon's

http://z.about.com/d/politicalhumor/1/0/v/5/3/Tiger-Just-Do-It.jpg

In this cartoon the artist is poking fun at Tiger Wood's recent mistakes that caused a couple of his sponsors to drop him. Tiger, who had a problem with sex addiction, had slept with many women while married to his wife. The cartoon says newsflash Nike keeps tiger as a sponsor. Then the hat says just do do do it. This is of course talking about his many sexual encounters with many different women.
In the cartoon to the right it shows a huge crowd under a banner saying School Sports Day. I expected to then see kids running in a race or jumping over hurdles but instead their are kids playing video games. The picture shows the two overweight kids out of breath as they play a game that looks like soccer on tv. I think the article is trying to get across the point that America is playing too many games on the TV and not enough outside. I agree with this article and think it makes a good point.

LA

The Los Angeles Lakers are the best team in professional basketball. They employ the best basketball player in the world, Kobe Jelly Bean Bryant. So, it is no surprise that they sell out every home game. They attract the best in Los Angeles, the best in Hollywood, the most famous in the world. Everyone from the likes of Chris Rock, Terrell Owens, and Jack Nicholaus attend games on a regular basis. The Lakers play in the renowned Staples Center, a stadium that they share with the Clippers. The Staples Center has the capacity to hold 20,000 fans and each and every game they manage to fill every single one of those seats. Its fair to say that the people of Los Angeles keep their eyes glued to the Lakers success and failures. From Kobe's historic 81-point game to their recent championship the Lakers have always been able to keep their fans entertained.
The impact the Lakers have on their own town alone is drastic as I said earlier, the fans constantly check the box scores and rout for their home team. Globally the Lakers, along with the Boston Celtics, are the most well-known franchise in the world. Kobe Bryant's jersey sales are always in the top 10 in the league and people from all over the world know who the Lakers are. In my opinion it seems silly to think that a basketball team has any impact. However to many people in the LA and over the world live and die by the teams success. People make the case that sports are unnecessary but in a world where there is so much hate and fighting its nice to have an escape every once in a while and that’s exactly what sports do. For the residents in LA the Lakers are their escape.
