Menchaca on opening of Nets' practice facility: team's success will reflect "their sustained commitment to our local youth"
I missed this predictable but fatuous quote from the 2/19/16 edition of Stephen Witt's Kings County Politics, upon the opening of the Brooklyn Nets' new practice and training facility at Industry City in Sunset Park:
āIām looking forward to watching the Brooklyn Nets rock it, both, on-the-court and off-the-court with our local Sunset Park community youth and families,ā said [local Council Member Carlos] Menchaca. āI have a bet that as they rise as national champions, it will be a reflection of their sustained commitment to our local youth, inspiring them to not only be future players but one day owners of teams like the Brooklyn Nets. #SiSePuedeā
It will be "a reflection of this sustained commitment to our local youth"? Success on the court has to do with savvy leadership, including coaching and recruitment, not the window-dressing of spinoff charity.
