Okay i caved to the questions. welcome to ted's omegaverse except there's like no omegas in the verse. Pls don't kill me
Omegas Exist, but... the sportsworld is far too toxic for most to exist Normally, i mean. Male sports especially, but even the wnba had a streak at the start of their development where it was originally believed that only female alphas would just Barely be strong enough to commit to a sport ( a bad mix of misogyny and secondary hierarchy ) . Male-dominated sports have the similar feel in terms of outdated stances plaguing public opinion, but keep it simpler with ' only Alphas are strong enough for Sport.'
However, this has started to change.
Not in favor of the omega, no, don't be silly! Nothings ever in favor of Them.
It's not Exactly favor of The Beta either, but the betas do at least get to keep their name. You see, betas play fundamental roles in team sports especially. They may not be as valued (not in a star sense, but a 'i need a wheel that'll make this car move (team gain traction/fans) and a beta would be perfect' valuing kind of sense. You're just a worker, but hey! At least you CAN work, right? Unlike The Invaluables.) in independent sports like boxing, but good betas are Critical to a TEAM that needs a Championship -- that needs Roleplayers .
Team rulebook 5. Betas are the Best roleplayers. That's the best fame they'll ever seem to get, it seems.
Although some delusional fans and sometimes gms may try to construct a team of mainly alphas (either a lot of young alpha top picks or veteran alpha players hungry for a win ) for the raw power, intensity, and.. cool factor.. it usually falls apart pretty sadly. They need a mediator, someone who won't get greedy or frustrated with the fame or lack of it. Someone who's willing to pass, willing to come in and be the clog rather than the mechanic, someone who's a Beta whose only sense of belonging Is belonging.
Sports rulebook 6. Betas Stand Second.
Most betas have accepted this before entering a sport, ever since Scottie Pippen embarrassed himself for trying to flip the Beta narrative and failing laughably .
Betas can be bad. Bill Laimbeer will beat the breaks off anyone. They can also be good. Pippen would try to middleman Jordan's frustrations with his team, especially the rups (rookie 'pups', men playfully called pups because they're new to the sport). Shaq and Magic both have humorous charms that make them Feel like alphas.. but they needed more to get a ring. They needed alpha teammates, ultimately. no matter how big or bad or good a Beta may be, they are always Second. But they should never, never be considered first. That's an alpha's job. Orlando made that mistake drafting a beta to win them a ring, a beta that would eventually leave to ringchase with any alpha he could. Shaq's a bit shameless for a beta, but being shameless is maybe the only path to 'fame' (becoming a simple shtick to an easy-to-remember title, either being Sidekick, Dumb, Helpful, Funny, Enforcer, etc) for the life of a beta. Why? Because
Sports rulebook 1. Your Alpha Must Take Over.
Alphas can come in different shapes and sizes. Not all alphas are big and burly. They're not all hyper-confident or aggressive for no reason. But they Do have to come and take over a team. They DO HAVE TO feel possessive over their players, obsessive over their plays. Betas are there just to work, PICKED just to WORK, but alphas? Alphas are different. They Have to be the spark.
Michael Jordan was an alpha who presented very, very late. No one is exactly sure when he presented. Even Michael's story changes from before getting cut in highschool to after to college to the 'flu' game. But Everyone, at one point, thought he was a beta. ( His siblings laugh at this. )And then he wasn't. And then he won. And then he became a dictator .
But, again, there's a lot of alphas that haven't won. Charles Barkley, hilarious and prickly, perhaps too prickly at times, can be his own downfall from either sheer laziness or stubbornness. Some didnt always 'Win' in life like alpha fanboys or alpha egoists might try to persuade. Wilt was great, but personality-wise? .... other alphas like Kareem butted heads with him.. and even betas like Magic would then butt heads with Kareem! Allen Iverson played by his own self-indulgent rules and won through his fashionable impact, self-oriented liberation, and also lost by playing his own self-indulgent rules through trouble with money. Isiah Thomas defends his team and their troubles like a bull, oftentimes a hypocritical.. near-sighted bull. Larry Bird? Competitive. And fucking Rude.
Sports rulebook .....: Alphas Can Be Double-Edged To Either The Team, or Themselves
Alphas whose talent alone failed them by being either not enough, not determined, or entirely different to the subject become disgruntled sports 'analysts' who criticize betas or 'wannabe alphas' aka alphas whose behaviors don't seem 'alpha' enough (too docile). Others become known as busts. Others disappear. Others refuse to give up on their alpha birthright, scratching tooth and nail in the gleague, a disaster league of rups, failed alphas, struggling betas still trying to learn their place, and a few undercover omegas on suppressants. They can bounce around trying to take over team from team, or try to act more like a beta just to gain a secure job, only for their old trained instincts of Stardom to swoop in and make them seem stubborn and selfish (hog the ball during crucial moments). Many become coaches whose attachment to the game is almost parasitic as a purpose. Commentating is another option to fuel that parasocial fire.
You live as an alpha, you die as an alpha. It's a Sport.
That is, until Rodman happened.
Hes not an alpha, some thought he was, during his bulls era. But at the beginning, he was a beta. A gangly pistons player during the dirty work of defense. A beta who blended into whatever his team was, a bad boy, a nitty gritty, a winner, a loser -- whatever his team needed, he became. And then, his team needed him traded.
He started taking more, at first. Started becoming defiant, becoming aggravated. Paranoid at Popovich's overwhelmingly alpha abuse of power, of persistence, of Perception.
Isiah begged him to keep it easy, it's not safe to take so much, it's Untested. It's got side effects, he's seen them from players who wanted to get as far as rodman could but couldn't. They weren't strong like rodman. Another alpha giving him his unsolicited opinion. Bill told him to suck it up. Betas can be so bitter. Pop's yelling. Such a dusty smell, red sand that made your nose itch and not in the fun, just snorted ski slopes way. And now he's gotta deal with Pippen's wary, flipflop scent of calming then chilling hormones soothing then spiking the air as most betas do. And now, he's got Michael telling him to--
... Michael's pouring his pills down the toliet, both his heat suppressants .. and his Rut Inducers. He's skipped from telling and has gone straight to Doing .
One look from the ??? and Rodman realized.
Rodman realized he was tired of wanting to be wanted like a starting alpha but personal enough to be privately pressed like a working beta. Rodman realized a lot of things about himself and others that day. 1. He was tired of always crumbling to others' norms. 2. 'ROIDing' is an action that can be used primarily by athletes because they can afford it. 3. Other athletes besides himself have/can do it. 4. He's just the only one that's made it now known to the world that He is Dennis Rodman, He is an Omega, and He's used ROIDing to void his omega symptoms with suped up suppressants then Replicated Rut with raging inducers & created a Beautifully sensitive Beta, then, increasing both doses heavily, an abstract Alpha.
In short, yeah, he's used ROIDs. But he's stopping now. He's playing completely without the doses. Not too little, not too much, it's done. Zero. Isn't that great? Isn't that what sports always preach in the end? That it's You who wins or loses in the end. Not just your Talent, or your Drive, your Reach, it's You. You, crazy culmination You, who matters ultimately in Your world.
So why is everyone so horrified.
The sport changes after this. A few, just a few, omegas can show now, like, actually Show and not curtain themselves behind overloaded prescriptions. Apparently, even betas could ROID back then with just rut inducers to enhance alpha behavior and appear or Become alphas as long as they continue to doses. But most scrutiny lies in omegas ROIDing into betas, since it's a much easier dose to take in comparison to an omega -> alpha jump, which can have devastating side effects -- the most harmful being mental. Only those determined enough, Insane enough can commit themselves fully without cutting too abruptly and creating even more damage through their hesitancy. And even if the process is completed, the effects may be harsher than expected.
Betas start to become the new scrutinized spotlight, either torn by criticism of doing too much or too little, or skepticism on whether or not they're 'Real'. Alphas, in turn, get desperate to outshine the shiners, whether accomplishing that feat via negative or positive means. It's rumored some have even started turning themselves into Betas now, hard dosing rut suppressants when they're that desperate to try and tame the ego that torments them. Some say it's for the better, some respond brilliantly to the dose, it was made for them, it was Them. Old packs often rip these kind of thoughts to shreds, not caring for empathetic stances, just their black & white view of what was once written. New packs accept the dosing, but the worst of the new packs pick and choose which to, either Everyone Has To or only The Good Ones can. Old players get their legacies questioned because their secondary hierarchy is questioned. Was Magic Really a beta? Or was he a self-conscious, self-compensating omega who craved the lure of feeling needed? And then even went an extra step with the rut inducers to make him a Shiny beta, charismatic enough to peacock? Or was he just that Magic to be a really flashy beta? OR OR.. is magic all of that at once? Maybe, if he did do it, he needed to?
ROIDing is a necessary medicine in sport now, newly designated as necessary using overstimulation risk as a reason to protect too many players from imprisonment & eventual shut down of the sport since suppressants were part of every player ( keeps betas clear-headed and alphas consolable ). But it's still debated by any side a group may conjoin as. The threat of its illegalization is looming. Violence, fear, envy, hatred. Trust no one.
Fuck Everyone ?
oh, yeah, anyone can top or bottom here. That at least remains the same. Positions can just go against the grain in less secret now.. however, that doesn't mean they're all exactly Comfortable to, though .
But you know who's mighty comfy?
Dennis is doing just fine. Eccentric, quiet, grounded, true, omega, stubborn, beta, alpha, callous: Dennis.

Conference
Hello readers!! Hope everyone enjoyed the final of the master! I was very happy that Sergio was able to pull it off finally! I have been waiting for this win for a while!
Today I want to talk about the conference tournament in college golf. I believe that it works different for every division in the NCAA and I know for sure that it works very different in the NAIA. So I am going to tell you how it works in NCAA Division 1, as that is what Kennesaw State belongs too. Also I want to tell you how important it is for Americans to get the ring!
Every school belongs to a conference, it is not determined by region or proximity it is just a group of schools that form a group. At the end of the spring season we play the conference championship, which is all the schools from the conference competing against each other. Kennesaw belongs to the Atlantic sun conference with other 6-7 schools, it is competitive but there are bigger conferences such as the BIG10 or the ACC. To get the ring you need to win conference and for athletic departments and coaches getting this award is the ultimate goal! I have a ring already and I cannot wait to get my second one this upcoming week. It is definitely a great experience and it is all worth the effort. For my coach it is a really big deal as she gets a bonus but the recognition is worth more than the money. We as a team also get a bonus from adidas as they are our official sponsor and next season we get recognized in a football game which is really nice!
I really look forward to this week due to many things as I am a senior and this would be my last time playing the tournament! Also if we win we get to go to regionals, which is another amazing experience! So it goes conferenceàregionalsànationals. As a school we have never been able to make it to nationals, as we have to play really good in regionals but maybe this would be the year!! Not every school needs to win conference to enter regionals, the top 50-55 schools (according to golfstat, read my previous post) get an automatic spot, we currently are ranked 78 so we have no other choice but to win conference.
But I know we will ;)

Watch This 15-Year-Old Girl Casually Bench 335 Pounds
        View this post on Instagram
                  Against all odds. She's 15-years-old and broke the Florida state record with this 335 lb bench. #WillMakesUsFamily (via @underarmour)
A post shared by House of Highlights (@houseofhighlights) on Dec 11, 2018 at 11:00am PST
Even an adult gym rat with years of plate rattling under their belt would be psyched to have a 335-pound bench press, but this teenager took this weight and threw it around with ease. The teen's name is Mahailya Reeves, just 15 years old, and she clearly has a bright future ahead of her if she's already powering through this kind of poundage before being able to legally drive. According to Under Armour, this was a Florida state record.
She can also bench 330-pounds with a reverse grip as well.

Western Conference Finals Preview: Golden State vs. San Antonio
Okay, we're here now. The 1 v 2 matchup that sometimes looked like it wasn't going to happen. Golden State has had the privilege of breezing through their first two opponents of the postseason. Their first round sweep of Portland was more or less business as usual aside from Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum providing some interesting moments. However, the second round sweep of the NBA nerd community darlings Utah Jazz came as a slight bit of a surprise. It was also the series that reminded us that they just have so many damned weapons. San Antonio, on the other hand has traveled a considerably rockier road to get here. They were able to out man the Memphis in the first round albeit them needed six games to do so. And the second round, well..........we all know what happened there. But the intrigue and just what makes the Spurs such a pain in the ass to deal with is HOW they were able to extinguish the Rockets in six. Losing Tony Parker in game 2 forced them to adjust, enter Patty Mills. However, this was essentially child's play as Mills and Parker had more or less split point guard duties throughout the season up to this point. However, losing Kawhi "The Scariest Mofo on the Planet" Leonard (not clever I know, just is what it is) in addition to Parker's absence for the elimination game was a far weightier thing to contend with. Enter Jonathan Simmons and freaking rookie Dejonte "Baby Boy" Murray. These guys coupled with a monster night from LaMarcus Aldridge (sorry JB) and (speaking of absence) James Harden's showing they not only defeated but skull drug the Rockets to end their season. Point is, both of these teams are finely tuned machines. They run extreme well but the engineering involved is quite different. Guess the only question now is who wins the race? Warriors will win if they can....... Seize and maintain control of the pace battle. Yes, it's true that recent circumstances did force San Antonio to give reps to a lot of their younger guys and it worked out great against the high powered Houston Rockets offense. But this........this right here is something TOTALLY different. While Houston has an All-Star (most likely All-NBA) point guard in Harden and several nice complimentary pieces the Warriors best line up boasts two MVP winners with three between them, two guys that will most likely be recognized with All-Defensive honors and three of these guys shoot the three ball over a 40% clip. Stephen Curry (27.1 PPG, 41% 3FG) and Kevin Durant (23-8-4 on splits of 52-42-87) have more or less drawn names in terms of who have been leading the Warriors on any given night throughout the playoffs thus far. They will need to be much more deliberate in their approach here. Klay Thompson (16.1 PPG, 36% 3FG) hasn't been the rainmaker we're used to seeing but his defense has been phenomenal through the first two rounds. And speaking of defense, Draymond Green (15-9-7-2-2 on 50% FG and 51% 3FG) has been quietly been putting on a clinic (that is if Green could do anything quietly). Golden State's bench will have to put on the series of a lifetime and if Andre Iguodala (7.6 PPG) has anything to say about it they will. The Dubs have also gotten strong play from a much improved Ian Clark, wily vet and ringchaser David West and of all folks Shaqtin' a fool Hall of Famer JaVale McGee. McGee can really make his mark here as one of the Spurs' only deficiencies lies in rim protection. Spurs will win if they can....... Slow the game down whenever they can. As mentioned above the Spurs boasts young legs in numbers and most of their top performers are above average defenders (including that one monster). While they are not horrible defending in transition (the Spurs rank 1st in defensive rating and second in opponent scoring) it is much more ideal to force them into the half court, take more time in possessions and defend the perimeter in hopes of cooling the Dubs down. Kawhi "Half Man, Half Who the Hell Knows" Leonard (28-8-5 on splits of 52-47-92) is undoubtedly going to lead the charge here. He has the best motor of anyone in this series and can cause problems by being so taxing for anyone who guards him while terrorizing everyone on defense. LaMarcus Aldridge (17 and 8) must find a way to be as impactful against Golden State as he was against Houston. Reeling off a few games like Game 6 definitely wouldn't hurt. Patty Mills (11 PPG on 41% 3FG) and Danny Green (35% 3FG) will have to keep being the two way beasts we've seen them become in these playoffs. And here's where Pop's countless hordes come into play. Though not being top notch rim protectors look for Pau Gasol's (7 and 7) and David Lee's (4 and 4) experience to put them in the right spots at the right times to get easy buckets and deter mid-range shooters and drivers on defense. For this reason we may see a little more Dewayne Dedmon here also. Jonathan Simmons (9 PPG) lead the merry bad of Spurs wings that includes that likes of Kyle Anderson, a slightly rejuvenated Manu Ginobili and Dejonte Murray. With Kerr out it will be interesting to see if Pop can keep game sclosr enough for it to come down to Xs and Os against Mike Brown. Brown, who has seen some success as a head coach in the league and comes from the Popovich incubator can definitely keep the flow but doesn't nearly have the flair triaging and just plain pulling it out of the mud like Pop does. H.B says................Dubs in 7

Justin Jackson, girlfriend Brooke Copeland get engaged
If Justin Jackson wants to have an even better month in May than the one he had in April, the North Carolina basketball star is really going to have to get creative.
Jackson, who recently declared for the NBA Draft, helped lead the Tar Heels to a national championship less than two weeks ago. He might tell you that is the second-best thing that has happened to him this month, as Jackson and his girlfriend Brooke Copeland got engaged over the weekend.
Forever with my best friend!! #RingChasing #SheSaidYes. PC: @dawnchapmanwhitty
A post shared by Justin Jackson (@jjacks44) on Apr 16, 2017 at 8:42am PDT
Congratulations to @jjacks44 and @brookecopeland on their #supriseengagement in #seasidefl last night ! #30aphotographer #30a #southwalton @southwalton #ncaabasketball @unc_basketball #ncaachampions
A post shared by Dawn Chapman Whitty (@dawnchapmanwhitty) on Apr 15, 2017 at 7:02pm PDT
Jackson averaged 18.3 points per game — 19.5 in the NCAA Tournament — this past season. He’s expected to go somewhere near the top 10 in the draft. Copeland is no stranger to success on the basketball court, either, as she just finished her junior season with the Florida Gators.
While Jackson didn’t find a way to incorporate his proposal into the game the way some college athletes have done before him, Copeland seems pretty ecstatic anyway. Congrats to the happy couple.
