You would be wrong. Cisco computer company is sponsor and picking up tab.

If Cisco didn't do it, I am sure NBA owners would spring for it. Would make sense to pamper your best employees.

I would agree with Gritter here

**IBetYou** · 08-06-16, 06:05 PM

They could probably afford it themselves. I'm not surprised they choose this. Millionaires don't slum it.

**GUMMO77** · 08-06-16, 06:08 PM

Why would you think the tax payers would pick up the NBA yacht tab?

**MoMoneyMoVaughn** · 08-06-16, 06:12 PM

Lifestyle to which they have grown accustomed

At first I thought you said Crisco Yacht and wondered if that's where a certain poster was having his reunion

Are they missing out on some great village sex though?

**VeggieDog** · 08-06-16, 06:45 PM

They did this four years ago, also. Nothing new. At least they won't be in the village when the terrorists attack.

They need to stop sending the pros (its nonsense, no challenge) and throw the college kids in there to harden them a bit. Hate this shit so pointless.

America should send their kids, and so should every other country. Then, like in football ("soccer"), the World Cup becomes even more important.
