Miami Heat (3x NBA Champions)

Wrong team: Paper runs ad touting Miami Heat win

Jun 13, 2:44 pm EDT










MIAMI (AP)—The Dallas Mavericks’ win over the Heat is a huge upset for fans in Miami. Making matters worse, an ad in the local paper has mistakenly congratulated the Heat on winning.


A full-page ad that ran in Monday’s Miami Herald reads “Congratulations Miami” next to photos of Heat championship T-shirts and hats from Macy’s. One T-shirt reads “Heat 2011 NBA Finals Champions” and the ad shows the Heat’s logo on a hat with the words “NBA Champions.”



The ad ran under a story about the Heat’s loss.


The newspaper has issued a correction and apologized for any inconvenience. A Macy’s spokeswoman called it an unfortunate error and apologized to Heat fans.


The Mavericks beat the Heat 105-95 in game six of the NBA finals on Sunday in Miami.

:lol: Paper Fail

Totally disrespectful and classless on Wade's part.....

On Dwyane Wade, national anthems and paying Canada some respect



Plenty of people, particularly Toronto Raptors fans, took offense to footage that found its way to social media of Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade casually going about his pregame shooting routine while a young girl sang Canada's national anthem "O Canada" at midcourt of American Airlines Arena prior to Game 3.
.
.
.
And rightfully so, not just because it's customary to silently reflect during the national anthems for both teams involved in an NBA playoff game, especially since their countries allow Wade to make a $20 million annual salary for playing the game he loves, but because the league's rules actually require him to do so:

"Players, coaches and trainers are to stand and line up in a dignified posture along the sidelines or on the foul line during the playing of the National Anthem."
.
.
.
The Palm Beach Post's Jason Lieser has Wade's comments in full:

“You’re always sensitive to anything throughout the world. I’m not thinking about nothing like that. I’m thinking about what I need to do before every game that I prepare for and have been doing my whole career. I understand whatever’s said from that standpoint, but I’m not a disrespectful person. If anybody thinks I’m being disrespectful to their country, then they have no idea who Dwyane Wade is.

“No disrespect from myself or Amar’e [Stoudemire, who was rebounding for Wade] or anybody. If anybody feels like it was, please don’t fill up my timeline with disrespectful comments, because that’s not this guy right here. Find somebody else with that.”

[…]

“People see video footage of what they want to see. I have a ritual where I come off the bench and going into the anthem line I’ll have a layup or dunk and then make a shot. Here, we always make sure we come out and give thanks to our troops first, then we do our anthem as well. It’s just a ritual. It’s something different when we’re playing Canada here at home and the clock starts at a different time.”

Internet porn business submits $10M naming rights bid for Miami Heat home

f6756ab0-d59e-11e9-87eb-3dbd7da7e360


The internet porn business is boomin’.

The once-taboo industry’s continued creep into the mainstream is seeking to broach another barrier. This time, its sights are set on big-time American sports.

BangBros is seeking to stake its claim.

Porn biz offers $10M for Heat arena’s naming rights

The Miami-based porn production company was quick to announce after the American Airlines news that it wants in on the naming rights and had submitted a $10 million bid to lay claim to the home of the Heat.

No chance this happens

Of course in all actuality, it does add up to a publicity stunt.

The NBA may be the most progressive league in major American sports, but the Heat surely aren’t going to promote family ticket packages to invite parents and children out to a wholesome evening at “The BBC.”

Nor would the league subject broadcast partners to open their coverage “live from the BangBros Center.”

While the idea of the weed-embracing city having its “Mile High” football stadium named for a marijuana company is good for a laugh, it’s not good for the NFL — at least in the minds of league executives.

So bravo to BangBros for generating some headlines. Just don’t expect to see this as a successful bid, as eager as the company surely is to spend that $10 million.

Maybe they can just get continuous live action streaming banner ads instead. Or have moans put over the PA system after made free throws. Or shoot dildoes out of t-shirt cannons (or drop them from drones). Or sponsor the “penetration” or “back door cut” of the game. Also, however on point it may be for the NBA, there’s no way that the suggestion of center rather arena to get to “BBC” isn’t premeditated.
