Basketball Court of Opinion: The Game is Only Part of It

March 14, 2018 by Whit Honea Leave a Comment

“Just let them play,” I said, loudly. “That’s a good idea,” snapped the referee, staring me down from the baseline. I was in the front row, mid-court, and everything was a blur save the anger on his face and the echoing whispers of my wife begging me to stay quiet. She was probably right. A moment earlier, the crowd buzzing with confusion, I had turned to those seated behind me, a collection of parents from both teams, and shared my feelings on the call that had been made.

There will be wings. There will be beers. There will be lots of yelling when someone misses a crucial late-game free throw. Most all, when members from City Dads Group chapters all around the country get together tonight for NCAA men's college basketball viewing parties, there will be many bonding moments. In other words, male friendship. Thanks, Dove Men+Care. This is appropriate as the men's grooming products company, our partner for a third straight year in hosting "March Madness" viewing parties for our more than 5,000 members, recently commissioned the "Bonds of Real Strength" … [Read more...]

City Dads Groups across the country came together last night to get mad for March Madness. Dove Men+Care graciously sponsored events to let fathers get out of the house for the evening and into the start of the nation's biggest college basketball tournament. Here are reports and photos from our members: “You really need to be a part of this.” At one point I thought I’d have to pry the pizza slices and pint glasses from the hands of our dads to get them to “bring it in” for a group picture. The magnetism of the conversations taking place around the room was a strong draw; the … [Read more...]
