NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles) – Sports Illustrated announced Serena Williams as its sportsperson of the year on Monday, and a lot of people are very upset.

They wanted a horse. Not just any horse, but American Pharaoh, horse racing’s first Triple Crown winner in 37 years.  He won the magazine’s readers’ poll for the award.

Angered that their choice for the award lost to Williams, netizens across America flooded  social media with a new hashtag: #horseslivesmatter.  And it has gone viral.

Proof that in America, diversity and equal opportunity are esteemed values. Persons and animals, just the same.

OAKLAND, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – Just moments after basketball star Kobe Bryant of the L.A. Lakers announced that he will be retiring at the end of the current NBA season, The Golden State Warriors’ Steph Curry shocked the sports world by announcing he is retiring effective immediately.

“It’s a matter of knowing when to quit,” Curry told The Adobo Chronicles.  “There is no better time to retire than when my team has achieved an all-time record start of 18-0 in this current season,” Curry added. “I’m just following the example of boxing champion Floyd Mayweather who has retired after a zero loss record.”

Asked what he’s going to do next, Curry said he will devote 100% of his time to his family.  He has two daughters with his wife Ayesha — Riley (the press confererence darling) and Ryan Carson.

imageSAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – NBA champions Golden State Warriors will hold a fundraiser to celebrate laglag bala,  the now internationally-recognized extortion scheme at Manila’s Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA). The scheme involves the alleged ‘planting’ by airport personnel of bullets in bags of unsuspecting passengers.

The Warriors will host a Filipino Heritage event at a California casino on November 14, and will be wearing special edition “shooting shirts,” according to an announcement by event organizers.

In response to a query by The Adobo Chronicles on the significance of the shooting shirts, the organizers said the basketball champs recognize the extraordinary accomplishment by NAIA in putting the Philippines on the world map through the laglag bala scheme.

Proceeds from the sale of the shooting shirts will go towards the continued improvement and modernization of NAIA.
