Environmental Activism is the Key to the Current Success of the NewJersey Nets
Environmental Activism is the Key to the Current Success of the New
Jersey Nets In an interview yesterday, a New Jersey Nets executive, Julianne Waldron, spoke candidly about the real reason behind the Jason Kidd trade to the Dallas Mavericks. On February 19th of this year, the New Jersey Nets traded Jason Kidd, Malik Allen, and Antoine Wright to the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for Keith Van Horn, Devin Harris, Trenton Hassell, Maurice Agar, De Sagana Diop, first round draft choices in 2008 and 2010, and cash considerations. Many New Jersey Nets fans were very unhappy about losing Kidd, a long-time star and future Hall-of- Fame point guard. Ms. Waldron, who manages environmental issues for the Nets, held a press conference to discuss last night's first "carbon-neutral" NBA game between the New Jersey Nets and the Philadelphia 76ers. The game was hosted by New Jersey, and all of the carbon emissions generated by fans and the 76ers traveling to and from the Izod Center will be offset by so-called "carbon emissions credits" purchased by the Nets organization and their partner Barclays, the British financial conglomerate. The game has been dubbed "Green Night" and also featured several environmental extremist groups providing propaganda to fans. In referring to the "greening" of the New Jersey Nets franchise, Ms. Waldron said that "I believe that this will be our strategy for years to come. This is part of who we are. Many of our fans were unhappy when we traded away Jason Kidd to the Dallas Mavericks, but they should be happy because trading Kidd was the best move for the environment." Ms. Waldron went on to explain how the Kidd trade was the environmentally-friendly thing to do. "Jason Kidd always hustles when he is on the basketball court, and we all admire that greatly. But all of that running up and down the court, pushing the team out on fastbreaks, expending extra energy just to make a few extra points and possibly win a game, caused all of the players to breathe a great deal more heavily and thereby expel extra amounts of carbon dioxide into the air, and we all know that is bad for the environment. We made the difficult decision to trade Kidd in order to save the planet." Check out the rest of the article here - http://jaajoe.com/index.php?option=c...38&Itemi d=49 |
