Do you know how “mocking” works? Ted Cruz called the basketball hoop a basketball ring. Willie Robertson made up stupid fake sports equipment to mock Ted Cruz.

What if Cruz shows up today for his announcement in a race car with a big sticker on the side saying I drive for Jesus ?
LOL. After yesterday anything is possible.

Yes, I know how mocking works.
Yes, I know Willie made up stupid fake sports equipment to mock Ted Cruz.
But he didn’t make up ‘hockey glove’. Every hockey player wears gloves. Integral piece of equipment to a hockey player. Fail.

Everybody flubs a line now and then, but to flub one regarding basketball in Indiana was awkward.

As a minister I get numerous opportunities to louse up lines in public. It happens.
Basketball ring is unusual in that there’s no natural alternative phrase that would make your brain/tongue come up with ‘ring’.
It’s like something you’d expect a foreign speaker of English to say as they hunted for an appropriate English word to describe what they could see in their mind’s eye.
Basketball as a 3rd language

“Something tells me that Cruz hasnt once in his life played a pickup game of basketball.”
_____________________________________________
I respectfully disagree.
Cruz plays in pickup games, even when he isn’t picked for a team.
Then his team gets crushed 108 to 15, but he plays to the buzzer anyway.

I don’t get the reference to the basketball hoop being same height in New York as it is in Indiana. Did anybody say New York used a different height?
