With their walkout last week in Orlando, the Milwaukee Bucks joined a long lineage of basketball’s agents for social change.
I will always hold a special place in my heart, alongside the Milwaukee Bucks, for the University of Texas-El Paso’s (UTEP) basketball and football teams.
No, that’s not because either have had much success in the past…oh…thirty years or so. My love for the UTEP Miners extends far beyond their wins and losses, and far beyond my admiration for the Green Bay Packers’ outstanding running back, Aaron Jones, who not only played at UTEP, but played his high school football in El Paso as well.
