Sportsmen of the year: JJ Watt for his fundraising, Jose Altuve for leading the Astros to the scripted championship.
Mr. Watt, you deserve it. Instead of just being propaganda about it, like so many other people (including T-Mobile ramming it down our throats during the playoffs), you walked the walked instead of just talked the talk. You got on social media and raised $37,000,000 to help Houston.
So please take my congratulations, and excuse yourself from the rest of this post.
But this crap with the #HoustonStrong championship (in the mold of the 9/11 Patriots, Boston after the bombing, and, yes, the Golden Knights are nearly undefeated at home. 17-9-1, 2nd in the Pacific, 11-2 at home)...
And it was so obvious, and it may well have seriously damaged a franchise that, frankly, some fans now believe may never see the light of another championship in this Corporate Era of sports.
That said, it's becoming clear that propaganda and tragedy win.
