If you love sports and trivia and have the ability to retain sports facts, have you considered playing in a trivia league?

I hope Nigerian parents both at home and, especially, abroad are not pushing their children into these sports to cash in. Often, we're people with all-out tendencies to make money at all cost. Some may want to dispel a myth out there and end up exposing themselves and their children to hidden dangers.

They young man had a known heart condition but he continued to play without taking his medications that made him too drowsy to perform up to his star caliber.

It is also often used as part of sports psychology, which coaches and therapists use in helping injured athletes recover from their injuries and get back in the game.

Looking back, his utterances were rather prophetic because little were known then about the effects of concussions, hits to the head, performance enhancement drugs, Parkinson's disease, memory loss and slurred speech issues. Some of the sports we send our children to play today are equally dangerous, don't let the hype, money, fame, and medical advancement fool us. Remember that beef came from a cow or as the sports Igbos say, "Suya ahu si n'ahu nama"!
This is reflected as a spread bet at a bookie where the bookie offers a "break even" bet on the spread with odds earning you about ninety percent of your investment. A bet at a bookie is obviously stacked in favor of the bookie so that they are assured to make money. It is also boring considering you are stuck with the bet no matter what happens during the game.
