Ballinesian | Ep 214 - Blessed Golf, Pass-First PGs, Deep Sea Mining in American Samoa

BALLINESIAN PODCAST ON THE POLYTICKIN NETWORKWelcome to Samoans talking Sports, and Deep Sea Mining. Its crazy that a government can sell tens of millions of acres of the sea floor that's literally an ocean away but here we are. This week the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management announced it was moving forward with a proposed lease notice and intending on taking bids next month. We should not be disturbing our ocean environments. We should explore the deep sea, not exploit it. We definitely should not be risking our ocean, its food chains and our way of life for a chance at potential profits or for a few rich people to become richer. We need to pause Deep Sea Mining until it can be proven that it will not harm the Ocean. We will try and update everything that's happened so far, including our Governor's response to the recent lease announcement. The Deadline to write in and tell Governor Pula your thoughts so he can let BOEM know to stop this will pass soon. Send your comments now! to [email protected] before all 'at, we talked about Max Holloway knocking out Conor McGregor and then turning around and hosting the inaugural Max Holloway Foundation Golf Classic (Golf! Very Hot Right Now!) at Kapolei Golf Club on Oahu. “This is better than any walk I’ve ever made to the Octagon, or any fight or any moment… At the end of the day, just me being able to give back to the people of Hawaiʻi, that’s what it’s about.” Stay Blessed, Uce.We'll also discuss Samoan PG Kylan Boswell now with the Charlotte Hornets, and how important Pass-First point guards can be to an offense. We're trying a new segment: Viral Trends of the Week (lol please comment name suggestions for this segment!), where we discuss any viral trends we see on the socials, starting with the Netflix documentary sounds, the Saxophones from Boyz N the Hood, Saint Jimothy of Bellevue, and a few trends from the new Moana movie where Islanders splice scenes of the movie with similar videos of their real life in "What They Saw vs What I Saw", and also seeing all the behind-the-scenes footage from everyone who helped bring Motunui to life. Awesome seeing our community shine and shine Together, awesome awesome great makes the heart swell. Let us know what other trends you saw this week, and whether you liked it or absolutely hated it lol.Thanks for tapping in. Support the Patreon (www.patreon.com/thepolytickinpodcast)
