For anyone that plays basketball knows that it is more than just a sport‚ more than just a hobby‚ and more than just a passion that people have. The blood‚ the sweat‚ the tears‚ and the twisted ankles are just the little things that people face while playing the game.

We Need More Women in Power All the time women had been underestimated in societies. Their jobs were only to be a house wife. Also they were not allowed to be educated.
