Super StarAccording to FoxSports:
Houston Rockets owner Leslie Alexander's wife Nanci, an animal-rights supporter, could be behind the NBA's switch to a new unpopular official game ball, according to talk show host Joe McDonnell of AM 570 KLAC in Los Angeles.
Nanci Alexander was able to sway, her good friend, David Stern's wife into talking the NBA commissioner into replacing the leather ball with an animal free microfiber composite, that's the rumor going around the NBA as McDonnell reported.
Leslie and Nanci Alexander are among the global animal-rights movement's biggest financial backers. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals even acknowledged the couple in 1998 for making "one of the most generous gifts we have ever received."
What next microfiber sneakers?
When the Fowl Line took on this issue recently in "I Won't Live in a World Without Baseballs":
"So if you think this isn't sports related your wrong. There'd be no baseballs or baseball mitts, sneakers, no footballs or volleyballs, no hunting, fishing, horseback riding, rodeo's, falconry, no aquariums, no more Flipper or Free Willy sequels. No Stuart Little, no mules kicking field goals in heartwarming Disney flicks. It's a world I don't want to live in and I suspect neither do you."
We inadvertantly left basketballs off the list and PETA struck without warning or mercy. Next thing you know they'll be making hockey pucks out of rubber instead of ground up American Eagle paste...
