So Pepsi Center is also home to the Nuggets (NBA) and the Mammoth (NLL), and there were FOUR games last weekend. Check out this sick time lapse!! Mad props to our conversion team.

Carol of the Bells played by basketballs

How lit is this lol

Please appreciate that those basketballs had to be inflated to different pressures to produce notes. Not only did they have to tune the balls, they had to figure out not when the balls should hit but when they should be dropped to hit at the appropriate time.

softbrobusiness:

Treating female athletes like garbage as employees is not new, and it is not specific to the NWHL, or to the CWHL, or to women’s hockey. The brand new professional lacrosse league has stipends and no salaries. the NWSL pays non-national team players popcorn money and many of those women have to have outside jobs DESPITE the fact that it pays better than the NWHL. National Pro Fastpitch and the WNBA have made great strides in these areas, but it’s irresponsible and missing the point to focus the blowback on a league–any league–when this is a systemic problem.

So what can you do?

Buy jerseys and shirseys to support lower salaried players, or, at this point, any player at all.

Go to games if you live somewhere that would be remotely feasible.

Watch games on Youtube when they’re streamed, and Sling TV when that becomes available.

Encourage your friends and family members to give a little attention to the sport, too. You never know who you might hook.

I just got back from a local baseball game with a friend and there was an argument between a ref and a coach, and I told my friend that I watched too much basketball so I kept waiting for the ref to blow his whistle and give the coach a technical foul. And she told me that she kept expecting it to break into a fight because she was used to hockey. And I don’t know why I thought you’d enjoy that story but I did. :D Hope you’re having a lovely summer!!

verkiezen, this story delights me IMMENSELY. what i love most about it is that baseball, a sport that makes no sense to me and seems to involve absolutely nothing except mathematics, is a place where a basketball fan and a hockey fan can come together to sing the sports’ fan creed, “WTF REF R U BLIND?”
