New Basketball Nets

The neighbourhood basketball court was fitted with new nets.



They don't even look good because the newness of the nets highlights the dilapidated and rotten backboard. Why was this even done? Better contact the guy whose name is on the backboard.

Those pictures were taken on September 18, 2017. How long do you think the new nets lasted?

Not long at all.  Here they are on January 26, 2018.



Here are pictures from yesterday, February 9th, 2018.



That does not look like normal wear and tear or weather damage. How would a storm do that anyway? It would have to be one mighty onslaught of wind and rain to rip those nets to shreds. These nets have been destroyed by players dunking hard and hanging on the net. More likely hanging.

Nice things don't last long in the Philippines.

  1. Regardless of where you are in the world, some Truisms always apply:

    1. Kindness is Weakness

    2. Anything given will not be appreciated, taken care of, & will only lead to an expectation of more handours

    3. Better to just let people wallow in their own filth
