DeafDigest Mid-Week edition, July 14, 2015 morning
-- taking advanage of supermarket's money give-away
in Kansas, Dillon's is a well known supermarket chain.
This supermarket is planning to give away two million
dollars. A deaf leader in Kansas suggested that
Kansas Association of the Deaf can earn $500,000.
All it takes is to use supermarket's PLUS card
on all purchases by signing up the state association
as the agency that will get a percentage of each
purchase. That easy? Should be, but not that easy,
anyway!
-- a much-stronger USA men's basketball team lost to weaker Lithuania
heavily favored USA men's basketball team lost in the world
deaf basketball championship finals to Lithuania. How could
this happen? The Americans missed too many easy lay ups;
the Americans were lazy in defense and did not rebound
too hard; and committed too many fouls. Said a fan:
each time we made a mistake, the Lithuanians took
advantage of it
To be fair, the Lithuanian team practiced year
around whereas the Americans only had a few
practices to get ready for the championship.
The Lithuanians only had two players that were
6'6 wheres the Americans had 6'7, 6'7, 6'8, 6'9
players. It was a game Americans should not
have lost but did.
At least the Americans have the upcoming
Deaflympics gold to shoot for.
