2nd Row Seats for the Wizards v. Grizzlies Game!!

Last night, I went to my first Wizards game! It was SO much fun!! I love basketball. And what was even more incredible was that we had 2nd row seats!! (face value = $450 per ticket) I went with Justin, an old friend I knew at BYU. I ran in to him when I went to the DC 2nd Ward back in December. He's in his first year of medical school out here at the military's hospital ( I can't remember what it's called)...he just joined the Air Force. Justin's friend got the tickets through his work....(i need to find myself a place like that!). Here's some pics from the game!

This was our amazing view of the court!

I decided that if this whole law school thing doesn't work out, I can be an NBA freethrow coach!!

Which reminds me...I have a solution to the problem of lack of funding for education in America: (Now, this will obviously require government regulations...BUT) Professional sports teams should be forced to give a very large percentage of the money they pay their athletes to certain assigned school districts. Not only would this lower the ridiculous salaries that are only getting more out of control (there were players who made over $85,000 playing in that single game last night), but it would provide huge resourcs for schools. And for the districts they are assigned to that are not nearby (like someone's gotta take the utah districts, etc.), it would increase their fan base as new communities support the teams after all the publicity of their local generosity. It would also send the message to young kids that although sports are really great, education is important...so important that we are willing to invest in it. Now, just think: there are 30 NBA teams, 32 NFL teams, and 30 Major league baseball teams (we'll excuse the NHL...they have enough problems...or just give all their school districts to the Yankees...i think they can afford it)...they could do SO much good!! Especially if we required them to donate something like 50% of the money on their player pay roll....I'm sorry, but I just don't feel all that bad about A-Rod making $14million a year rather than his current $28million!
