Even in these divisive times, during which it sometimes appears like there is so little common ground, it seems that there are basic principles on which we can all agree. For example, we can likely all agree that investing in our communities and in our youth is good. Likewise, we can probably all agree that criminal vandalism of public property is bad. But a recent event in Los Angeles surrounding the LA Clippers has tested those principles.
(Wait, you may be thinking, isn’t this a basketball article? Be patient, I’m getting to that part.)
Over the holiday weekend in Los Angeles, vandalism was found on one or more of the nearly 350 public basketball courts that are being renovated through the Clippers Community Court project, made possible by the generous donations from the LA Clippers as well as Connie and Steve Ballmer.
